Radiology pays per report or lines depending on
account. Per report is less than other companies out there, but line pay was about average.
Meditech usually pays by gross lines so I find
that it works out about the same, maybe even a little more per hour. That has just been my experience, though.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT

MQ pays its MTs less than
cleaning ladies make. Believe me, there are many other jobs out there that will give you better than the pittance (and bad treatment) MQ has to offer. You deserve better. Don't settle for MQ's nonsense.

MDI pays 9-11 cpl.

My VR pays at
4 cents a line. I really hate to see that places are going even lower than that. My platform is an excellent one and if not for that would never be able to make the $20+ per hour pay that I make. It is so unresonable for these places to just cut pay to the bone. How will anyone be able to make any kind of living if this keeps on? From what I have seen over the years, VR has never gotten to the point where it can be on its own and by reducing the scale of pay, pretty soon companies will see MTers dropping like flies instead of doing their work.
It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.
I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
That's TransHealth that pays that way. nm
xx
I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
keystrokes pays, are they......
On time? I do hope so ! Just because we work at home, some of these companies think, for some reason, that we will do the work (and it is a REAL job) for no pay. We ought to have the RIGHT to do that to them !
Employee pays ALL?
At my current company I only pay $75 per month - company pays rest. Sounds a bit odd, I must agree.
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
Transolutions pays 100.00 for every sm
year that you are employed. Otherwise, they don't pay squat.
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Does anyone know who pays QA hourly? sm
I need a QA job that will pay me hourly, so if you have any leads, send them my way. :)
MQ pays QA by the hour.

Is it true that RIU pays 5 cpl for MTs? How do they keep them? sm
I have heard that they act real nice but are back stabbers too.
I had a friend who was an MT with them and she stayed because they intimideated her into staying, told her that she would fail elsewhere. Do they treat all their employees as slaves?
Sad. P, my friend, said that they profess to be a good fine Christian company and then cheat, lie, and stab you behind your back?
Sad.

Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate. I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well. Thanks!
Does anyone know what Keystrokes pays for RAD? (sm)
Is it still only $1.25 per page? Or is it by line. Need more up to date info. Please!
who pays per report??
Can anyone tell me what companies pay per report for radiology and which ones have Meditech? Thanks.
So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Does anyone know how Transcend pays out
Their $1000 sign-on bonus? Thanks so much!
Transcend pays still
one day, 4 hours with trainer = $60.00
It pays to take a "pay cut" sometimes
I made -good money- at my old MT job but in return for the -good money- I had to tolerate unqualified superiors whose arrogance and abuse would not be tolerated in most places. I stayed in the hot seat with those people for stupid reasons and none of it because of things I personally did wrong. I would not leave for a long time because I thought I could never make the same amount of money anywhere else and besides I was honestly too lazy to want to start over again. Finally though I had enough, my husband had enough, my kids had enough of my whining but never taking steps to get myself out of that situation.
I took what I thought would be a -pay cut- with another company but it turned out that my current facility is 10 times easier and the supervisors are actually qualified to supervise me. I could not be happier. I make more money even with a bit of a -pay cut- because I'm not constantly on mandatory phone calls for problems unrelated to me personally, plus spending time reading pointless emails. The line incentives help too. My account is so much easier, my supervisors leave me alone to do my work, and my family is happy at dinnertime.
Forget the cpl rate because alot of the time it is tied in to a bad company that is forced to pay so much because they can't keep good MT's. If you are in a similar situation to mine, stop whining, get off your lazy butt and find a company that pays you -maybe less- but will turn out to be more and that respects you and gives you good accounts.

Who pays the best for VR work?
Which companies pay the best for VR work? What schedules do they require you to work? Do they have benefits? I have 2 children to support so I need to have a dependable work also. Thanks in advance
MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.
MQ pays the highest, but that's because
they give you so many different accounts to learn all the instructions for. Some have as many as 20 to 30 new accounts per day. It's not worth it. Are you sure you really need to learn VR? I'd stick to straight transcription. It pays way better.
Please, TT always pays on time...
it will be there; try some patience and don't count your chicks before they are hatched. Hopefully, you didn't spend money that wasn't there, which never fails to amaze me. Why do people do that?
How do you KNOW what the client pays?
Gottcha, because you are an MTSO !
Do you really think that clients pay 5-8 cpl? Go and fly a kite, toodle-loo, they pay at least 12-15 cpl.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
Uh, hello. That's the average that VR pays.... that's what
