Hardly any jobs out there post the salary.

In Reply to: companies that do not post line rate... - enlighten me.
I don't think it matters if it's transcription or what. I can't imagine testing for a company before calling them and flat out asking what the pay rate is for the position being offered. What a total waste of time for both the company and the applicant.
...and I personally do not think it is inappropriate to laugh at a ridiculous rate and slam down the phone either. I think the asshats out there who are offering a nickel a line need to get laughed at and rudely hung up on to boot. None of this PC politeness garbage of thanking them for their time either if they pull a number like that out of their hineys. A man sure as heck wouldn't stand for that kind of pud pullin'...why should we?!

Only jobs post on Job board!! nm

only jobs post on job board
I was asking a question about a company on the company board and it completely disappeared. It's not on the job board or man board...I just replied to my own post to ask the question again though.
MTSOs must post their own jobs
nm
not all companies post jobs here -
why bother being so rude.
Wonder why these companies post jobs
with low line rates but requiring years of experience. Who out there is desperate enough to fall for this? Maybe they should try an overseas job board somewhere.
why is OSI allowed to post jobs on this site??? SM
It is on their website that they have an offshore office in the Phillipines.
Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
You are not supposed to post jobs on the job board
Again...you are not to post jobs on the job board unless you work in the capacity to recruit.
Don't know who this is but they only post jobs to stay legal..
I know exactly how it works, don't bother applying you will be wasting your time.
Did you read XO post? She said 23 jobs posted in 1

This site USED to post in house hospital jobs - sm
And this is just MY opinion, but I think what probably happened is that the hospitals were probably getting bombarded with every MTSO service contacting them, and individuals contacting them about outsourcing their work, and it probably became too much for them. An acquaitance mentioned one time that she had advertised on this board for on site and specified that it was on site, along with very specific job specifications, and apparently it didn't matter - everybody and their brother applied for the job, including waitresses and nannies who had never even had one iota of medical terminology, let alone job experience.
That's just my 2 cents
You missed my point in jobs knockin post and the
you want. If you like MTSO you are with now, get more work from there. If not go after what you want with different MTSO, different job, whatever. Whats the big deal with askin for more work with MTSO you are with, if you like them. No different that asking to work for (by applying to) any other MTSO. A real pro knows to get proactive and steer you life in the direction you want it to go.
To Moderator: Is Seroesh Saleem Akhtar allowed to post on the jobs board?
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

Salary
When I went to school 13 years ago for MT (I know, back in the day) they always emphasized that the best situation was to work in-house for a few years before attempting to work at home. That option is pretty scarce now, and I keep wondering what the longterm effect will be as far as potential excellent MTs giving up without reaching their goal.
Salary
I average between $18-20/hour for acute care and have been doing this for 12+ years. What I don't get is when are these services going to wake up and pay for experience. I would think that it would be more cost effective to pay a higher rate for an MT who does not need a ton of QA than to pay a lower rate for less experience and then pay QA on top of that to correct the report.
QA salary
Yes QASs are paid hourly.
Salary
Thanks to those who have answered so far. I am hoping that the responses point a realistic picture of this career good/bad and also by identifying the companies that fairly compensate their MTs, giving credit where credit is due. I should I averaging around $17 an hour working for a private larger practice, with benefits, at home, and this includes insurance. I am not all that happy with the hourly rate, but in my case the benefits are a major factor. There is a chance for incentive which I am struggling with.
Salary
We have a production minimum we have to meet and then anything over is paid on incentive. It is basically a fair system for both the company and the MT. I like that I have the opportunity to push it and make a little extra - put I really do have to push it!
Salary
Our minimum is actually based on minutes. I want to say around 20 minutes an hour, which sounds like it should not be much but we do a lot of retrieving info from the EMR and putting reports into different files, etc. If this was straight transcribing I would be making a great salary - but way more involved on the clerical end of things, plus tons of little 30 second reports which really kill you on minutes. Nothing loads at all so pulling info from the EMR for each individual patient. It can become very frustrating.
How is salary?,...nm
..
salary
In some parts of the country 15K would be an acceptable income, not good but the best available.
According to Salary.com
mean expected salary for a US medical Transcriptionist is $36,956. I am curious if anyone is actually coming close to that. I know I sure the !#1& dont't.
Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Average salary for MT
Hello,
not sure if it matters from state to state but i live in NY and would like to know what the average income might be for a MT thinking of going to school for this so I'm not sure what the variables would be as far as income. I know that some work for hospitals or private practice would like to get a round about figure for the average.
TIA.

The Salary Is Correct
The typo was not the salary. That is really what I am earning.
Withhold 10% of salary for 401(k).... sm
and never deposit those funds in employee's retirement account. Repeatedly hang up on employee who is demanding Show me the money! Wait for Labor Dept. to hold feet to fire, dragging resolution out as long as possible.
Salary Survey
Looking at the post below about who loves their company, I am hoping to take this information a step further with what I hope is a fair survey. Working 40 hours a week, what is your salary, acute care versus clinic, benefits versus no benefits, and what company do you work for? I think it is very hard to judge what the individual companies are offering, and a lot of the opinions are based on what works for one does not work for another. Thanks to all who are willing to share this info.
Also, has your salary gone up (ha, ha), stayed the same, or gone down over the last 5 years? Thanks again.
Salary is fine
Salary is fine ... how are you?
What do you consider an excellent salary?
If you don't mind me asking. I've never made less than $22/hr average on production and would like to keep it that way.
now it's being paid salary?? oh, my, please
$800 for 2 weeks at salary equals an average of $400/week equals $10 an hour - oh, this bizzaro drama just gets sadder and sadder and the ridiculous bar keeps getting pushed higher and higher... or is it lower and lower...
if my salary is $ 100,000.--, I would all forget about
ham sandwich and alcohol, etc....
BTW, with the right 'connection' foreigners can get everything, over there, so I have heard.
We work well with our recruiter who also is on salary. We have
open communication and we allow her to do what is necessary to get us the best MTs possible and she has. We do not have a revolving door and never have. We personally have received compliments on the way she has handled our potential MTs and the ones we have hired. One part of her job though is to be liason between those MTs that are hired and the mgmt staff and in doing so, whatever that might be wrong (very little has been) can be fixed. So far all are happy and we are happy. Even though she does not work in the office, we have open communication daily and any questions that need answering are fully answered. All paperwork is shared through our server so it is not necessary to have the paperwork in office for one thing because we trust her.
MT supervisor salary, how much do you make? nm

Anyone have a ballpark salary for managers?
Two years ago I made $51K as an MT, and it is gradually going down because of line scalping. Thanks for your input.
typo being your monthly salary
ROTFL
As I recall, anything over 1x year salary SM
required proof of insurability.
Hourly and salary are not the same thing. lol
nm
more than double my yearly salary
Always knew I worked harder than most - now I get paid like it.
I also have doubled my salary with production.
what MT is making a "huge' salary sm
so much that they need to get into their medical records? That is just one more invasion of privacy. Besides who intereprets what they read. Someone may have a chronic illness that has no effect whatsoever on their job. These people are not God and cannot predict how long a person is going to be around.
More and more invasion of privacy!
Wonder what the *average* MTSO VP's salary is...
And if PB is paid more or less than *average*... javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Too bad the MTs don't get to vote on THAT decision. Instead, if this is all true about a pay cut, the MTs are going to give up what once was a better than average cpl rate so PB (and JH) can keep on making the big bucks and keep on doing whatever it is they do.

Good luck with that, ladies.
You can make a decent salary but
you have to have good platform and not a lot of people training. I did 750 the first hour today, times that by 4 and see what it came up to.
Well I do earn a pretty decent salary
and I am not talking anything under $50,000. I have heard of some of you recruiters who earn $30,000. I would not do it at all for that. I know one woman who earns $58,000 as a recruiter. I know another who earns $42,000. I know another who is paid per head and I won't do it because that forces you to hire anyone.
For what I earn, yesI will keep an open phone line to an excellent potential employee.
I hope the typo is your monthly salary. nm

Yeah I did look it up and that is the way I took it.. 1x your annual salary..They do also have long
and short-term disability which may be of help if you are out of work for any length of time.
The ones who don't NEED the real salary are killing it for the rest of us.
The ones who have the husband with the fat salary who pays the bills are the ones taking whatever pay they're offered instead of standing up for the salary we deserve. THOSE are holding us down!
It's NOT the olden days, as you put it. It hasn't been that way for a few decades.
