In Reply to: Sorry to hear that it is slow for you. Pertaining - to the list below about Radiology ...
Agree with you completely. Just today got call to help after my shift was done. Made an extra $200 this past two week billing because I helped out a few hours. Life is great in the Xray pool! Its all I've ever done!

I love Radiology too (sm)
but you will quickly tire of those long reports when you are paid by the report. Welcome back to radiology though. I enjoy it too.
Welcome! I have been with many companies (too many) for radiology and love Keystroeks. I have sm
been with them for 2 years. I almost did not go with them because of some negative postings on here but I am glad I did. Shorthand is the easiest to use and from what you received (foot pedal and adaptor), I am going to assume that you are on the same account or similar to mine as I know that there are two new openings on that account. If it is CMC, you will love it after you get used to it. I bought my own copy of Shorthand so that it would remain mine, and it is under $100, I think $89. The website is www.pcshorthand.com.
Best advice - ask questions if you are unsure. They are a great group. Val is in charge of radiology and is very, very nice and helpful. Ask for her if you need help 
I love Webchart! I do not know of anyone with radiology accounts on it. sm
Can you share?
Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm

Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts? What platforms do they use? Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators? Thanks in advance
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
Radiology.
I don't know about that particular company, but $1.25 per report is average - I'm paid $1.25 for all reports other than CTs and MRIs, which pay $2.25 per report... 
mdi radiology
Weekends and Fridays are always short-staffed..but you will account hop like crazy...expect it, and you may or may not have enough to keep you busy. It's the slow time of year right now. Hope all goes well, but don't expect much.
MDI-FL RADIOLOGY - sm
MDI-FL advertizing for radiology positions - what a farce. We sit here and wait for work every day with not enough to go around. What will new employees type????? I'm absolutely dumbfounded over those ads...can't believe it. Come join us and babysit your PC ...just like they do at Transcend!!!
Radiology
Can you type on all the platforms? If so, then, by all means contact me at deb.hull@medicaldictation.com or contact the supervisor of radiology and discuss with her. Otherwise, ads are not placed if we have people who can type them. Sorry if you were confused on this issue. The object is to STAFF accounts, not over-staff. I hope this helps to clarify. 
Do they have Radiology?

MDI-FL Radiology
I quit a job I loved because I was promised the dream job I have been waiting for - Radiology. We all know how hard it is to get. Well, that was supposed to be my primary at T-C Transcription. Turns out as soon as I sign the papers, everything is out the window. I got five accounts. My primary, radiology, well, by the time I sign on the chick that transcribes this account has it all done. They give me VA and four other hospital accounts. The info on the accounts is like 18 pages long. They make you do a monthly schedule that you have to email, and other BS stuff that is a pain in the ass. They also have a private email account that you are supposed to access every 15-minutes. Hello?? Who does that? Well, if you don't you have to sign back in. The job I left was gold compared to this junk place. I got my job back with the job I left, and have never been happier. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Learned the hard way.
Radiology
I work on a new radiology account for them. Not sure when that ad was posted for hiring, but I have been with them for over a year and just started this account a month or so ago.
now for radiology
now what about radiology? Are there any companies out there that will take someone who is a newbie at radiology?
radiology
can anyone please tell me about radiology? do any companies hire and train newbies? thanks
radiology
i could be wrong, but i dont believe there are companies that would hire a newbie for radiology. most are short reports, but radiology goes into deeper anatomy and physiology. it would be best to get familiar with h/p, consults, and discharges first. good luck
radiology
You would probably be better off trying to get some experience on the job in a hospital (more variety) to start. I type radiology and thats my advice. Good luck in your job search. Also, I am spreading the word, if offered a job from D&L Typing Service, trust me DO NOT accept. Horrible company.
some radiology - sm
mixed in with other clinic work, but not a lot of radiology.
Radiology
What company is best for a radiology transcriptionist? Might be looking for a change. Thanks!
I would have to say for radiology, KS is best. nm

I think they are the best out there for radiology. I have been there sm
for almost two years (wow! I did not realize it has been that long). There were problems a while back that seem to be straightened out. I never had any of the problems affect me but I from I heard it was really due to growth and changes. It is very stable now. Direct deposit -- yes. Paid -- 1st and 16th. Benefits -- Health insurance (you pay), life insurance, 401k. Plenty of radilogy work but not very flexible because of tight turnaround times. One thing if you are looking for flexible, I know they are hiring a few floaters right now for vacations, sick days, heavy volume days, etc. In the hospital I used to work, they were call per diem. KS is calling them floaters.
They were looking for a radiology MT
awhile back. Check with the HR manager.
Radiology
They overhire and then BS you to death. Find something else!
Would you consider radiology...sm
I used to do mainly ops using a C-phone. Switched to radiology, love it. E-mail me if interested.
Radiology, of course! nm
Radiology, for sure!!!
Love the fast pace
I think that they only do radiology but that's all I know. nm

Radiology pay
Thanks for anyone's input! I actually did ten test reports for the one company and figured out the pay both ways, 9 cents a gross line versus $1.25 per report, and the line count method beat the per report method for every report.
Do you do Radiology for them?
If so, how is it?
Asking too much?? Where can I go for radiology,sm
Looking for places to apply to that will hire as employee for radiology using dial-up. Mostly afternoon/evening work. Also less than 20 hrs/week, and provide equipment. Does such a creature exist?
Thanks for your input.
Radiology
Are there any good companies that pay per report for radiology. I have 23 years experience. 
radiology
Thanks Granny for the feedback!!!!!!
radiology
Thanks RadMT for the feedback
radiology
Most pay by the line but a few by the report:
Transolutions, TransHealth, WebMedx, Medquist
Radiology
If you are interested in a radiology account, please send a resume.
radiology pay - sm
You will have a hard time finding anything better, even as IC. If this is employee with benes, go for it.
radiology
Could you please tellme who you work for. I have been searching for someone with better pay. it seems like a struggle at times. Thank you in advance!
Radiology pay
The last radiology account that I worked paid $1.25 per line with incentives which went up to $1.60 per report. It was hard to get the incentive, though, if you had specials and long dictations. Those who got the chests, extremities, etc. did quite well. $1.10 per report sounds really low to me - but that may be the norm. I did my last rad account less than a year ago, though.
