I was offered 10 cpl; after 5 years at MQ
at a MUCH lower rate, and NEVER an increase in 5 years, plus now they've also calculated the line counts to be much lower, I feel LUCKY to get 10 cpl! I'm thrilled to death, jumping up and down for joy! I too have almost 20 years of experience as a career MT.
You offered 6 cpl for someone with nearly 20 years
I wonder how much you charge your clients if you can only pay MTs 6 cpl and QA 1.5 cpl.
I would never insult someone with that many years of experience with an offer of 6 cpl. And yes, it is an insult. There are plenty of other MTSOs with consistent work where one can make a lot more than 6 cpl. Why would someone want to work for that? Probably they are new with no experience or they are clueless as to their own worth or they are NO GOOD.
It is highly unprofessional of you to come on here talking like this about former employees, good or bad. Very tacky, and it speaks volumes about your character.
I obviously turned down your offer of 6 cpl, but I'm really glad others have sites like this to come to where they can find out from other MTs what a place is like to work at. As someone else said, smart people can filter through the posts here and decide for themselves whether a company is a good fit or not. Former employees' rants and raves can be dismissed as disgruntled. However, your own rants are just pathetic. You just opened your mouth and proved to all that most of the prior posts are likely accurate. You should take Business 101.
I have 20 years and have never been offered
and if you're reliable you probably do, but if they give it to you with 10 years of experience, then they have to shell it out to everyone with 10 years or more, so doubt you'll get 10 cpl. I've only been offered 9 at the most. Good luck though...
And with 20+ years, you still get offered
It seems like the longer you are in the business, the less they offer. Funny how that works. I've never been offered more than 9 ever and that's for clinic which on a few occasions was really acute care they were trying to pass off as clinic. All of this trickery goes along with the business. If anyone is making 10 cpl, then they either have been with the company a long time OR they are being paid an incentive to go above and beyond a certain line quota.
Companies post their rate of pay, at least most of them, so there is no guess work. For a while there I'd say about a year ago, most were actually putting in the ads - rate is not negotiable... cracked me up! Everything in this fine country is negotiable!
We are being offered that with 20+ years
Consider yourself lucky you're not at 6 cpl.
Offered 7.25 cpl for 30 years experience - sm
Your offer sounds like a good deal compared to mine, but neither is what we are worth.
TTS offered me 6.5 cpl with 20 years' experience
NM
I was offered 8 cpl with 19 years of experience.
I was going to give it a try, but I didn't want to purchase equipment for a job paying 8 cpl. Sorry, but that's way low if you ask me. I think it is a rather small company though. 
I have many many years of experience and was offered....
7.5 cpl as employee or 9 cpl for IC. Seemed way too low to me, especially after I was told what the account was like. They seem nice, but nice doesn't pay the bills! Good luck to you!
20 years of experience and offered
I was offered 8 cpl with 12 years of experience. Did NOT accept the job!! nm
s
Two years ago I was offered .075 cpl. Horrible dictators!
x
I had applied but they offered 7 cpl for 14 years experience..I said NO...
That's about all I know. I cant remember what kind of work it was either, but I wouldnt do clinic or acute care for that low pay.
The wages offered to MTs with alot of years is (sm)
in addition to the adjectives you used, downright demeaning, and bordering on questioning one's self-worth. I'm really so sick over it because for the past 2 decades I have devoted my life to MTing; gave 100+% each and every day, kept up with the new drugs/terminology (on my own time). I even have gone so far beyond what is expect because of my love of MTing and medicne, that rather than read a good juicy romance novel at bedtime, I'd read one of the doc's I transcribed for leftover medical journals, just keep on top of the game. This was while working inhouse--- and all because I was properly compensated for my hard efforts. Working from home for an online,....that don't give a rats azz....all they want are the lines and 98.5% accuracy at all times. Period. That's just one of the problems with working from home -- the impersonalization that accompanies it. I'm headed back inhouse where I'm appreciated, have a blast with my coworkers, docs, nurses, tecs, and be paid what I am worthy of after doing this for over 1/4 century. No more penny checks for me. No more line counts. No QAing. AMEN.
Think you still have to go to NJ to train. Was offered a very low per-page rate several years ago.
s
I was offered 8 cpl w/years of experience. He wouldn't say if pay would go up if I didn't take
s
About 5 years ago was offered 10 cpl including spaces, 65 characters. sm
Don't know about now. That was doing all acute care, mainly op reports with full benefit package.
I declined and have my own accounts, but it was a good offer.
Good luck.
I was offered 8.25 cpl in the beginning of 2006. Turned it down. 13+ years in.
s
You had better believe it. Working 12 years in a huge university and now offered 8 cpl. nm
:
Over 14 years expierence and offered 7.75 cpl to start. I had to turn it down but the people were
very nice. I just couldn't take a pay cut like that.
Fifteen years experience here and also offered 8 cpl as a max at multiple companies. This biz is
going down hill fast. I remember making 10 cpl 10 years ago and that was cheap..Only profession I know that has gone down in wages rather than up. Very sad. If you offered 8 cpl..take it..
webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm
nm
I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
Honda is 11 years old, 190,000 miles . Toyota was 15 years old and 279,000 superb

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!
Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet
How to you spell
G-R-E-E-D ???
All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
just got offered a job
Does anyone work or have any info on Wordzxpressed? I have been offered a job and want some feedback. I have been in an office job since Nov and want to go back to at home transcription but don't want to get burned!!!!
Thanks
Same here right now, because OT is offered
PLUS it is the end of the pay period when all the end-of-pay-period MT's decide to get on and take away all the work -- they have been resting for 2 weeks and can work all day and night and get their lines in. YUK !
I was just offered a job...
Pay rate is starting at 8 cpl for an IC. After 90 days you get 8.5 if you have good quality. They use "Winspread" (not sure of the spelling). Have been in business for 3 years. Have direct deposit.
They offered me 8.5 cpl.
nm
Don't know about the others, but I was offered
a position. I have 20 years' experience in acute care, very good at ESLs. They offered me 8 cpl with the potential to make big bonuses - but that means I'll have to work extra and it just isn't worth it to me and there is no guarantee anyway.
When I asked if they offshored the HR person was hesitant but said they do if the client requests it.
The person I talked with a Cymed was evidently just HR and didn't even know what I was talking about most of the time when I asked questions about platform, line counting, etc.
I was offered a job with them...sm
but did not accept it. It seemed like their pay per lines were a little low. Plus, after extensive conversations with them, I felt that they had REALLY high expectations for the pay that was being offered. Unsure though because I never accepted the job after it was offered. Hope you find out the answers that you are looking for.
When I get offered anything less than..
9 cents, I tell them right out that is low and ask if they can do better. Sometimes it works!
I just got offered 6 cpl as an IC with my
10 years of experience. That was just laughable!
Don't know much about them except what they offered me
They offered me 0.085 and then up to 0.09 once off 100% QA.
Not so. I was offered a job with them not
long age. They supply all equipment and if you have an additional phone line, they will reimburse you for that.
what do you mean - should be offered?
It is offered and available dependent upon what option you choose employee versus statutory versus IC. Do not run out of work - pay is on time/direct deposit and they communicate with you - what else do you want?
Just offered 8.5 cpl (sm)
They have very good benefits, and good bonuses for O.T. and when work is out of TAT. Is this an average rate? I know a lot of you ICs make a lot more, but what about with the benefits and bonuses. Is it bad? They have a good platform - ExText, and the company I am at has horrible, user hostile software. help, please
I would take something else if offered
It wasn't for me - good training grounds maybe - hard to make decent money - at least IMHO
In looking at ads, 3.5 to 4 cpl seems to be what's offered most. nm
s
Then what happens is you are offered
a job by that outsourcing company because you know the account, but most likely as an IC with no benefits for a year, etc., etc. So there are hospital jobs few and far between that will stay in-house. Eventually they all want to save a buck.
I was offered 7 cpl
I believe you. I was offered 7 cpl by Transcription Relief Services for over 20 years experience. 
Just offered a job
with TransHealth and was told that insurance starts on the first of the month after 60 days of employment.
...is what's offered. nm
s
Offered
Yes - the original post offered only 7cpl. The accounts we inherited are paying only 8cpl. That 1 cent margin barely pays our very limited overhead. As we bring in new accounts we are quoting more realistic rates and paying our MTs accordingly.
We have some great MTs on our team - all with us because they know we'll always treat them like people, and not like a number.
We're open with them about where we stand, and they appreciate us not giving them a load of %$#% and promises, but the real bottom lines.

I also just got offered at job at 8 cpl
They told me that after 90 days you get a review and increase in your pay depending on how you do.
I was offered 9.5 cpl and they also
seem to offer a lot of incentives - almost every weekend - 1 cpl - no minimum required. That doesn't sound bad to me considering what MQ pays me after 10 years of service - a whopping 7.75 cpl and only 70% of that for ASR.
i was offered
recently too. does anyone on here have anything good to say about them?
