Non-medical transcription rate.
Does anyone charge an hourly rate to do non-medical transcription? If so, could you please tell me how much? I just got a job offer to do non-medical transcription, but she wants me to give her an hourly rate. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
That is a low hourly rate. I would look
elsewhere. That is below normal.

What is the going HOURLY rate for a MT (independent contractor) that would be competitive. 
I would take the hourly rate.
a
hourly rate
On the east coast the hourly rate it $14 - $20.
Hourly rate
Not sure my last post worked or not. Hourly rates fluctate around the country, however, in South Florida, the average hourly rate is 12 an hour and then each company/hospital then uses their own benefits/production bonus programs.

I did 5 months in-house this year after 10 years at home, and was paid $15.00 here in Joplin MO.

What is your hourly rate? nm
-
wow that's a very high rate for hourly isn't it?
I would assume most don't make that with production? I dont know...

The in house job offered for the hospital was about $14.00 an hour. I feel ripped off!
I think your hourly rate pays for whatever they want you to do.
If they want you to answer phones or sweep the floor or transcribe office notes or give shots or any combination of jobs.

They are paying for your time.


If it were me, I would have a separate hourly rate that
I would charge for things such as that, and keep a total of the time you spend doing this, but definitely bill them!!
Calculate your hourly rate for transcribing

and charge them that, i.e., if you normally do 200 lph at 8 cpl, charge them $16.00 an hour.


That's what I would do.


Nothing. Never take line rate for editing. Take hourly only.
You will never make any money by the line editing if you are doing true editing.
What is the going hourly rate (range) for QA these days. (sm)

I would charge an hourly rate in this situation.
Good luck.
Two of my clients pay me an hourly rate, probably do in most part because (sm)
I have longstanding business relationships with both of them, having worked in their office years ago, so they know my work ethic very well.
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
Medical Transcription In The Era Of Electronic Medical Records
EMR has revolutionized the healthcare industry in recent times. Many experts felt that EMR & Voice Recognition would totally replace Medical Transcription - however; the industry soon realized that transcription has certain advantages over point & click charting and many physicians preferred to dictate notes rather than document the data at the point of care themselves.
WOW! Great Hourly Rate For Editors - Over $14 to Start!!!!
I just started working for Soft Script in Calif. as an editor for 0.05 per line.  I found this was not enough money for me (even though I accepted it to get my foot in the door) and talked to the senior vice-president Joann who gave me a great hourly rate.  They must do this for all their editors.  Today QA, tomorrow the rest of the company!!!! Can anyone tell me more good things about Soft Script and your experiences????  I am jazzed and enthused to learn more about this comapny and look forward to hearing from you all.
Personally, I wouldn't touch an hourly rate of under 18.00.

I have friend who works as editor, gets hourly rate and does
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate or annual salary for sm

in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley?   Hourly range or annual salary.


Thank you so very much for any information!!


I think you would have to charge an hourly rate for this type of work.

If you are working at an hourly rate in a hospital setting, then you are
going to be in for a shock when you go to production rates. Most of the in-house positions were farmed out years ago. If you were lucky to secure an in-house position for this long, consider yourself blessed.
They were going pay me an hourly rate, training pay. It doesn't matter, I just tested for two ot
and I did pretty well.  I should get a couple of offers in the next couple of days, hopefully -- I don't want to be overly confident because if I learned anything out of all this it is don't count your chickens before they hatch and don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Proof positive that an hourly rate would eliminate those types of situations.

Is $15 an hour a good hourly rate for an in-house office position?

Medical Transcription.
Hi,
I am working as a QA for a reputed firm for the last five years. After putting in so many years of work for a firm, I feel confident of doing various reports.

I would like some help from you to find me some work. Can you please suggest or provide me some work if you have excess work.

medical transcription not really all
Just wondering, because lately the dictators have gotten so sloppy, it seems they do not care, or there just aren't any consequences to getting the medical records that we type munched up.  I work for a national and the dictations are so sloppy I cannot make out even the little words that are transitioning the sentences.  I feel they think it is silly and a waste of their time, otherwise why would they rush, slur, muck it up now more than ever?  Even dictating the wrong medications.

Before I got into medical transcription
I worked from home as a customer service rep. I worked for west at home and I took phone calls from ppl ordering from HSN. I didn't do it for long because I really hated it because you had to stay on the phone all day and talk with ppl. But if you don't mind that, there are tons of work at home cust serv positions. have you also considered general/legal transcription?

Has anyone had any experience with this company?  Any info would be great since I cannot find anything on this Palmdale transcription company other than their website.


Thank you....Kymee


Medical transcription

  I have tried to post this twice before , but was given some lame reasons about me mentioning a certain company or 2 - This company has a site of their own on this forum, so I am guessing that is the reason why!


To all you newbies -  good luck - you're going to need it!!!!  Back in the middle 90s I was making almost $50,000 a year MTing, just my normal hours a day.  For the past  couple of years I have been lucky to make $20,000 a year, doing twice as much work, of course.  I guess when you have foreigners who will type the stuff for 4 cents a line, why do they need us?  This used to be a great profession to get into.  All of the business colleges had courses in it - which I took 2 years of, plus worked in an office for 2 years before staying home with my babies.


I guess it served it's purpose when I needed it, but if you are looking for an MT job - Please be very cautious!!!!  They will promise one thing and deliver another.  Try doing 5 different hospitals, all with at least 500 docs, who, of course, all  want something done different/specifal just for them, and you may get these docs to transcribe, oh lets see, maybe once a year - but God forbid you for get that E-mail from 6 months ago that Dr. So and So wants his dictation done in a different format!


This profession has really becme ridiculous, and gets worse and worse by the day!  I am collecting unemployment now, which is not much less than I was making transcribing, and I am planning on going back to college to obtain a real degree with a REAL job!  Good luck to everyone who hangs in there!!! REALLY!  I hope you prosper!


Now, I know there are going to be MTs out there who claim to type 3000 lines a day and make 15 cents a line - Bullcrap!!!!  I can type ANY speciality and after all these years I haven't met one person who could type faster than myself!!!!


Now, I'm sure this will probably be deleted because MTing is the bread and butter of this web site, but just in case, if there is anyone out thre thinking about transcription as a position, think again!!  Wendy


 


 


 


 


 


Per page rate for legal transcription
I don't do legal, but do general transcription for a local college and charge $5.00 per page using Verdana 9 font or Times New Roman 10 font (they like it small). I do over 200 pages a month, so it works for me.
What is the average going rate for by the line transcription sm

and how about radiology by the report?  I have searched the archives and am just getting more and more confused.  I have worked in house for 15 years and do all the big four and radiology.  I made $15.67 per hour until we were eliminated on Friday.  What is the average?  I am medium fast, about 200 lines an hour or 15 radiology reports an hour.


Can anyone just give me an idea?  It seems that the services are all over the place in terms of rates. 


medical transcription test
If I am taking a transcription test from an employer and the dictator dictates physician names in the report, do I phonetically spell the name out or put a line for a blank?

PHOENIX medical transcription.  Any information good/bad???


Thanks


Are there really schools out there for medical transcription
that mentor you and help you find a job when you complete their course?  I don't want to pay the money that these places charge without knowing that in the end I will have a job.  Do any of them have internships where they place you with a company?  I need accurate info as I don't have money to throw away and want an MT career.  Thanks.
future of medical transcription?

I have been doing transcription now for a while, under five years, for a national.  How long do you all think it will be until it is a completely a speech recognition technology? My national is definitely trending towards the speech recognition and I just wonder how long it will be until it is totally that platform, and before hospitals and other nationals as a whole start using it mainstream.  Medical editing doesn't seem like it will be very lucrative as transcription has been in the past.
