But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
Posted By: SM on 2008-01-28
In Reply to: Right decision? - New TT MT
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.

2000 lines/day
How long does it take you? That's amazing!! By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day
for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm

How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.
Yup, it is doable.
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm
On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures. It looks like there is no message (there is though)
Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it. This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians. Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this.
2000 lines a day at $0.18 cpl. Believe it.....Not original poster, another one making $$$$. nm

I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.
nm
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
The only post I see that is idiotic is yours. You just admitted you did 2000 lines sm
straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay. So you lose. If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR. I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.
Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.
Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you. I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us. I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.
Yes, but do you have an accurate way to count those lines? Has TT fixed
nm
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.
Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.
The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.
You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them. 1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines. Something is wrong with their line counting.
If you read their ads, you see that they are XP and 2000 only. sm
I spoke to KS a few weeks ago and was told that they do not accept satellite or VISTA. I have both :(
I think In Shock should concentrate on fixing the situation or moving on rather than continuing on and on here. The people she is angry with probably don't bother with these boards. They have other fish to fry. I know that I read these posts for entertainment when bored, but if I want real information, I go to the source.
Give it up and move on or figure out a way to work with them. If they do read these, I am sure they can figure out who you are and would not even want you at this point if you are just going to keep harping on it.
There are other companies out there that might use VISTA, but I have not seen many.
Have you tried talking to the person who you say told you this? On reading your post, I could not tell.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
Usually averaged over 2000 per day, but
why do you ask?
I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital
oh my god that work rocked! It was 95% normals and work was plentiful. Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report. Ka-ching!
Ahhhh...the salad days. I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.
Now I'm all bummed again. Where did I put that cheesecake....
Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
It's more accurate......nm
xx
But it is not accurate!
nm
not accurate
They have never said I needed to complete my shift. I make my 1600 goal before my 8 hour shift is over. They care about production, not hours. You do need to put on your time sheet FT hours though and not go over 40 but I think FT is 35 if I remember correct. They have never chased me down after I am done for the day!!
not accurate
its not strange
it happens all the time at these companies
the whole teams let go where houly QC people getting paid too much
No, that's not entirely accurate.
What they require is 100 lph unless you are full time with full benefits and then it is 150 lph. It will depend on the number of hours in a day you work as to how many lines that day you need. And it will depend on where the payperiod falls as to how many payperiod lines that is.
You're on the losing end and don't even understand your own requirements if you think it is a flat 1200 lines a day and 12K lines a payperiod.
You are 100% accurate, VR on my end
has everyone on it, no exceptions. We have tons of ESLs with English. I know of no one who is exempt from being on there. I read others here who say their company does not allow this or that dictator to be on, not on this end, all the same and the ESLs, thank goodness, are on there, I am not pulling out the few hairs on my head I have left because does a really good job.
Okay what is great money? $2000-3000 a PP
TIA
hosp I worked for paid IC MTs $1.25/min for 2000 min/mo and
??
And they have been that way since I worked for them back in 1999 or 2000!
x
Really? I just came from a company that expected 2000 minimum!
Per day. I guess I was getting screwed, but at 5 cpl, 1200 lines a day (if you work only 5 days a week) is only 1200 a month! How can you live on that?
Do you want quick or accurate?
Why go to a board like this for a question to do with your company's benefits? Actually, you would probably get a pretty quick answer by e-mailing your HR rep, and it would have a much higher probability of being correct!
Accurate Transcription -
Any info anyone?
IS accurate with my company
**
Very accurate post
I work for another national company, but you are absolutely correct. I, too, am always willing to help wherever I can. Too many days, though, I find myself working 9 or 10 hours just to get my minimum daily line requirement in. Looking up new drugs, procedures, etc., as well as having no templates to work with, I find my hourly line rate zooming down to 100-125 lines an hour. The worst of it is, as the poster correctly stated, we are seeing a decrease in pay for helping on these other accounts, so to what benefit is it to us?
Good post, and valid points!
more accurate info here
The letter stated they will ALWAYS need MTs to do transcription, VR can't do everything. They also stated that the are evaluating the line rates for when we are on full VR accounts. Honestly, do you expect to make the same to sit and read through these reports and make a few changes and send on their way as you do to type the whole thing? I've seen a few VR jobs personally and the software doesn't miss much, so we should be able to pump these jobs out like crazy so a difference in like rate for editing is going to be offset by the fact that we can edit more jobs in a day than we can transcribe. Industry is going this way and we all have to quit complaining or move on, this isn't new news has been happening over the years with all the bigger companies.
You can't get accurate OSI info
The accurate info is so damaging that is always deleted, you will have to depend on the archives if there are any left that have not been deleted.
Well said. I find this to be accurate. nm
nm
Really, you find this accurate? SM
There is no deduction in pay if you do not hit bonus or minimum numbers. Platform is much better than it was 2 or 3 years ago, faster with every upgrade. You do not spend 2 weeks on 100% QA review, I think it is 2 days to a week if you need it.
Mine is actually very accurate
I have compared my own line counts to the ones in ExText, and they have always been accurate. It may have something to do with how the company counts your lines, but I have never had a problem with it.
I do not think there is an accurate answer (sm)
to this question. I generally transcribe 70-90 minutes daily, and I average 2,000+ lines per day from those minutes.
she is totally accurate on MDI. I just
got emailed for an interview and was told when I had to work. I was blown away because I told her that I needed M-F which is what I have always gotten. I need M-F for personal reasons but still would not work weekends anyway! They are no longer flexible which is insane when they are SE and IC. I also felt C was condescending after I had told her that I had wanted to work there for quite a long time. They USED TO seem like a great place to work. I have decided I am going back to a small MTSO and maybe even taking less to do clinic work instead of AC. I was happy and made good money back then but the 2 companies I had worked for had most of their accounts taken by the large MTSOs! I can't even imagine still being a single mother of 2 now. I supported them and had a mortgage, made 42-47K a year. Thank God I am remarried or I would have lost my home on the scraps I make now! I am only talking about 4 years ago on back! I could go on and on about how this field has gone to pot!
The above info is either old or not accurate. sm
I work there currently and do not find any of this to be true. We are not penalized for sending any blanks to QA.
Pay is a little on the lower side but I have no ESLs on my account at all. I believe it is 0.07 per 65-character with spaces employee or 0.08 as IC. Pay has always been on time and I have been there 4 months. I am on Scribe platform, which I have no complaints about. I know not all accounts are on this platform though so I can only speak from my experience. Feel free to email me if you would like more details.
I'll tell you right now that's not very accurate way to sm
guess-timate the revenue. Webmedx may have *800 employees* but not even close to that number are MTs, so 47K as revenue per MT would not be correct. Webmedx also sells its platform to radiology clients and technology client, so some of that money is from them.
Just an FYI.
Thats bull. I was told $2000 was tops a month. nm
You can't pick what accounts you get, only whether you are ER or acute. I do 2000+ on ER, Merit p
woowoo
