I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.

You're not. VR = same amount of time for less money.

I wonder if an MT can make as much money as a RN nurse? Curious about that
and wondering
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
Curious, can you make more money working for a hospital rather than a clinic?
I've never really did acute care and curious?
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm
nm
I was just curious because I have had some people tell me they make over $1000 every week and that
seems impossible to me.
I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm
nm
Yes, I make my time up later in the week when possible
or the weekends. I'm not tied to my computer. I do other things in between and check every 15 minutes or so for work.
I really don't care about the slow period. It was so busy for so many months that I am enjoying the slow down....but hopefully, it won't be much longer. I'm getting used to having these breaks. 
WWWaah. I used to make good money til the health problems hit, now it seems hardly worth my time!

For ANY amount of money
nm
There is one thing no amount of money will ever buy ......
But... then again, that pretty much goes without saying.
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

making money
I meant to say that I'm frustrated not making money where I am working, and wondering if it is possible to make money at Breitner?
Why are you not making money?
Is there no work?
making money
I'm not working for Breitner at this time. I'm working for T. I have work. I simply hate everything about this company.
I've read the posts about not getting paid at Breitner, but has this happened recently?
Is there a good paying job with good benefits anywhere?
Thanks for the answers.
And that's the BIG one - will keep you from making money. Isn't that enough?
nm
End up making less money one way or another.
Might as well settle for less money, because by the time the companies send you the ****** work, you will end up making less money anyway.
Sometimes I wish I only did clinic work -- I think I could make just as much as doing this VR left-over acute care.
Doing VR and making money
Everyone can flame like they want but I have noticed on here that people are sitting and waiting for work, end of the pay period. if you got a decent account doing VR plus regular mixed in with it, you would be amazed at what you can make. I am not management, am not being a cheerleader for any particular company but what I am saying sitting and waiting on a particular place to have work sometime in the future is just crazy. I know everyone says they are not doing work they were not trained for but to stay around and stay in this particular kind of work, it seems to be going that way towards VR. I was trained for regular straight typing with transcription and now I really hate to do straight transcription work. It can be done and everyone on her complaining of no work should really find a place that suits them and where they don’t have to worry about not making a living.
Making money at UST
I worked there a couple of years ago and at that time it was like any other company, had good times when there was a lot of work and other times where it was very slow for awhile, but I haven't worked there for about 2 years. I agree with the poster above about the pros and cons, but would have to disagree with the president being a sweetheart. I did not have the same experience as the above poster did, but other than that the poster was dead on about the pros and cons.
Just curious...you seem interested in other positions elsewhere, can I ask why? for better money,
schedule etc.?? I know you say it's not bad but I just wondered why you seem interested in any other company that offers Escription. There has to be a reason you are possibly seeking another job.
If your going to be an RN just for more money your making a mistake..sm
I was an RN and I hated it. Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc. People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.
So the company is not making any money???
The oil companies tell us they are not making any money either! Wonder how they can all manage to stay in business.
Are you making good money there?
I'm very happy there. Making more money
than I've made in a very long time. QA nice but tough. Excellent insurance that is very affordable.
It is like people who are not making money get mad at the ones who are....
doesn't make sense...I love working for Keystrokes...make good money, leads are fantastic and I have great accounts...
Compared to what I'm making now, "a lot of money"
Do you REALLY believe the MTSO is making more money off VR? Did it
occur to you that they are charging the client less because they have to? Please don't make comments like that unless and until you actually know what you're talking about.
There are MTs making this type of money.. It's just too bad that you cannot fathom it! nm

Anyone making more money with national company than (sm)
when you worked for a hospital, taking into account the benefit package you had with the hospital? If so, any explanation as to how you are doing better or worse would be much appreciated.
Like I said before...you start making decent money
and they find a way to keep your line count down. After 8 years of this BS, I'm looking outside of transcription.
Note about the MTs making lots of money - sm
I, too, routine make lots of money in this field. I have to laugh at the naysayers. They can't see how it is possible. Well, it is. The jobs are few and far between but they are there. I have made $$ on accounts with and w/o gross line pay, actually more money on the one w/o the gross line. Depends on way too many factors to be able to put down here. Here are a few:
1. I work hard.
2. I am an excellent MT.
3. I do not go on message boards, surf the net, answer the phone, do laundry, etc. when I am working. I get in the zone. Nothing interrupts me.
4. I never settled for mediocre pay. I searched and searched for the companies I knew I could make money with.
5. I've been doing this a LONG time and know my stuff.
6. I am extremely organized.
7. I went to college for MT and worked in-house for a long time before working at home. This in itself is a HUGE key to knowing your stuff.
The people who make good money at MT are kind of like people who have lost a lot of weight. Everyone wants to know their secret. Well, there is no secret to either. Both take a lot of hard work and know-how. There are no gimmees in life; you have to search it out, work your butt off to achieve and work hard to keep it. No one said it was easy. Life is hard. It is what you make it.
Build people up instead of tearing them down. Be glad for people who can achieve. Learn from them. That is how you grow as a person.
Good day!
Glad you are happy. You making good money there? sm
as well?
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Just curious - how many hours a week do you work? nm

I am still making good money with a natl. Not giving up yet. Just need about 10 more years and I a

It is the only place I have been for 5 years that I feel I am not being ripped off and making money
I work hard but I did for the other companies too and bit by bit more things were stripped away and I would end up making half again. Keystrokes has given me confidence again, and I am making money. That is the name of the game, that is me though. I love it here.
FUNNIEST THING..they all think you're making all this big money (LMAO) -nm
Yes but the amount depends on the account, length of time, etc.
I have been happy for two years!
That's way high, it's been so slow, not many making $500 a week right now...

To the poster below making 950-1000 per week, SM
I was wondering if you would share where you work, as I see you do 75% OP notes which are my favorite, but I never seem to get them, I do most HP and consults which I cannot make that kind of money on. I love OP notes. Thanks.
Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU MAKING NOW?
I am thinking about making the switch!
Making 50-60% of what they did make?
I do VR almost exclusively and funny, but my VR pay per day varies anywhere from between $150- $180 per day. I never in straight typing made $300 to almost $400 per day and have not heard of anyone else on this board that does. I think you perhaps know more about painting a gourd than speaking on VR.
You won't be able to make any money there.
Especially if you have to enter ALL of the patient info.
MAKE MONEY ?
How on earth can anybody make a decent pay with this editing crap?? It is not user-friendly...it is slow and they pay is even more crapier !
Can you make any money?
Hi all,
Just wondering if if is possible to make much money doing transcription for these companies at home. I just started with one and they are very nice, professional, etc. etc., however I feel I am moving along at quite a good pace and am just making a little over $10 an hour. I was hoping for more like $25. Is it possible anywhere? Let me know what the average pay is?
I wish I would get more OPS, always make more money with them.

I think MTs believe NO ONE should make money but them!
If no profit is to be made, no one will be in business - whether it is a small MTSO, an MT on her own, or a national. Heck, even a hospital will close if it isn't making profit!
Business is to make money. Competition is so high for companies/MTSOs. It's not the MTSOs fault, is it? No. They have a right to make a profit for their work.
I'm like you: I don't agree with everything going on in the profession but I am very happy with my work and always have been. I can accept the things that I cannot change. Otherwise, if I am unhappy, I move on. No sense sitting around being glib about something you have every opportunity to change.
Sometimes you make LESS money
Because of having rounded experience, you sometimes get all the crap/scrap work.
How do you make money like this?
Are most of the reports full listens? Does it balance out with lots of reports with only 1 or 2 blanks? I'm considering an offer and need to know if I can make any money with Focus on escription?
