Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.

Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
You DO get a line rate increase for passing the CMT at Webmedx. sm
Ask your supervisor.
She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm

Yes to old reports! Their ExText has all the regular functions except line counts are done on line

Yes, just regular rate
They have never paid for any OT. When I first started and they asked for OT, I asked them if it was line and a half rate or how they calculated it, and she said what do you mean, you get paid the lines you type. Thinking she didn't understand me, I repeated the question and asked what we got paid extra for the OT pay, and she said nothing, you get paid for what you type. I thought it was illegal too, but obviously they are getting away with it. I know I refuse to work OT...never have and never will. When they cry about being out of TAT, I politely tell them that when I get paid extra for doing extra that I'll be more than happy to help.
I also work 2nd shift, and I'll have to check to see if I've been getting my differential due to what the above poster said. I'm going to be even more mad if I didn't, but it wouldn't surprise me none.
This company is going down hill fast since SPi took over. I think they forgot we are Americans and have a different way of doing things here. They want to pay us like they do over in their neck of the woods, and it's just not happening. It's getting to be quite insulting actually. I know I'm definitely looking for something else!
my regular rate is 10 cpl

Actually your ASR rate drops to 70% of your regular sm
rate, not 35%. If you do not like ASR, ask your STM to be removed. You have a choice whether or not to use it.
We get 1.5 times our regular rate on holidays, so it is the same sm
as the hospital that I worked at previous to working for Keystrokes.
I did not work any holidays last year or this except 4th of July. I am not a big fireworks or too-hot-to-breathe outside kindof person, so I always volunteer for that one!
There are WebmedX accounts still on regular transcription?!?
That's news to me. Have worked on most all in the past 2 years and ALL are on VR. And they don't tell their clients or the clients would not HOLD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE VR, talk about how something sounds funny, give editing information, ask how we are today...etc LOL
No one was bashing, they were telling the TRUTH.
I'd say that would depend on what your regular line
is what I've seen posted on here. If you read fast you'll do fine, if you type faster than you read, well, it's iffy. If you have lots of formatting, i.e., ROS/PE flush left margin and ASR doesn't do it, screw it; use macros/shortcuts because you should have ROS/PE in macros/shortcuts for most dictators. I ignore the company's advice on how to do Keystrokes with it, turned off that hideous hiliter, and never waste time on tab plus whatever the other key combination is, it's too far away from home position and I'm a lefty and it's totally inconvenient for me to use it. I use the ctl/arrow keys to move forward or backward and ctl/shift/arrow to both navigate and hilite, then all ya gotta do is hit delete. All that also depends on how the ASR is set up. I hated it at first and I'm still not fond of it, but it's better than sitting with nothing.
Well, that's you're getting 45% of your regular line
try to work your way around it like I did. Do what's easiest for you, sometimes their way of doing things is bass-ackwards.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.
I hope that was of some help.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
Webmedx and other companies. What pay rate for VR? (sm)
I work for MQ now and they pay 70% of your regular transcription line rate for voice recognition/editing. Just wondering about Webmedx and any other companies. Thanks in advance.
Webmedx also pays 70% of your current rate. nm
.
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
Webmedx has BCBS and some accts pay that rate, more with incentives. sm
Plus we have shift differentials too.
Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm

Line rate
I was offered 6.5 cpl. How do I calculate gross pay based on that? I'm not sure how many lines I can produce, since I'm still completing a transcription course and this will be my 1st position.
line rate
oh, my gosh -- i've been with them 3 years and am SE with a base rate of 8 cpl, but usually get 8.5 cpl with the 6000 lines minimum. that is just wrong that you've been with them that long and you're making that. have you ever asked for a raise?
How is their line rate? sm
Recently applied but worried they will offer a low line rate to begin. Do you know what their base rate is or does it vary based on test results and years of experience.
If so, do you know the range?
TIA:)
They did tell me the line rate..
Just wanted to hear from people who knew about them or had worked for them as to whether they are a good company to work for.
Well....about the line rate....sm
I was really offered what I felt like is going to be a good account, and this is only going to be part-time for me. I'm hoping the work itself, i.e., surgery center, will make up for the line rate. They were very accommodating on the actual amout of time I wanted to work per day, too. I'm going to give it a try. I have high hopes - we'll just see!
line pay, rate
these companies say excellent pay. how do they feel right posting that?
What is their QA line rate?
Line Rate
I talked with a guy from the company today by phone, and according to what he told me, they pay on a tiered basis. They start at 8 cpl for 10,000 lines and it increases from that point. I don't remember the exact numbers and amounts after that point, so I won't quote him. If you don't do 10,000 lines, then the rate is 7.5 cpl. This is for full-time people on a day shift; the rate for second and third shift is different. They don't want daytime part-timers, which is what I wanted. In any event, for a university account I think the rate is on the low side. I can make 8 cpl transcribing office work. I'll keep looking.
Sorry. I'm not sure about the line rate but I DO know in this biz...
that line rate is ever based on your years of experience. It's become pretty pathetic. I have over 14 years of experience and was still offered the same as someone with a few years of experience, 7.5 cpl, and of course you will see those paying 6-7 cpl and you will rarely see anymore on an ad where it reads, salary based on experience at least not in this profession anymore. Best wishes if you apply. I hope they offer you something worth your time.
Yes, if you can get a better line rate
Eight cents a line is pitful for an IC. I did the opposite of you and went from a small company to TransTech. I do love working for TT but nothing compares to where I was. The work was wonderful, flexible, 12 cents a line with bonuses and yearly $400 Christmas bonus. I'm sorry I left but that's another story and like I said happy with TT. Do yourself a favor and don't settle for 8 cpl as an IC.
What is their rate per line? - nm

Pay is not all line rate! sm
I have been in this a lot of years myself. I am being paid the same LINE RATE was I was 11 years ago. I had no benefits, paid my own taxes, supplied my own stuff to work with, including a pedal I had to purchase.
Today, I have health insurance, dental, vision, PTO and holiday pay, plus the company has to pay part of my taxes. They supplied a pedal at no cost and I rent their computer for next to nothing and it is a lot better than mine anyway.
I used to make $6-$7 and hour 11 years ago and I do more like $30 now, same line rate, but a faster computer, a better Expander and more knowledge. My income last year was 4 times what I made each of my first 3 years when I started a dozen years ago. I also work fewer hours to accomplish all of this.
Why all the gloom and doom? Benefits are NOT a gift from the company, we pay the entire premium whether the company takes it out of our paycheck or not. WE MAKE ALL THE MONEY FOR AN MT COMPANY and we always have. Benefits are NOT free!!!! Think about it, my benefits equal about $500 a month that doesn't come out of my paycheck, but it is compensation. That is 500% MORE compensation that I received 10 yrs ago. I am keeping a great deal more of the money I help to generate for the company, whether it is in my nice benefits, a paid vacation or in my paycheck.
To me, the picture is rosy and good. Not only is my income 4 times what it was when I started (that is quadrupled in 11 years), I no longer pay self-employment taxes, I will have my very first paid vacation since I have been an MT and I have health benefits for the first time since being an MT. I don't have it showing on my pay stub, but I KEEP what is on that stub insteading of working 3 jobs to pay my IC taxes. If I get sick or need surgery, I don't have to wonder how I'll pay for it, that is a given. I don't panic if I get sick, I just use my card and see the doctor. I can have my teeth put into better repair this spring too.
I feel blessed that I have more work than I can do on any given day and I am well compensated and happy.
VR line rate
Try Precyse. The line rate for VR is somewhere around 0.055 and they have a TON of VR available at the moment.
need better line rate
Is anyone willing to share a good company that pays 12 to 15 cents per line? I am so tired of having experience and no one wants to pay? Thanks
Line rate
$.095, $.10 and $.125 all as employee with benefits.
line rate?
Here's my situation. I currently provide transcription for a clinic w/four docs. My price hasn't changed for alomst 7 years. I'm just curious what the going rate is per line? I have to pick up microcassette tapes and deliver hard copies w/a 24 hour TAT. Any info here would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to overcharge or be under paid!
Line rate
I have been with them 5 years, doing acute care, and make 8 cents per line. Pay rate has not changed in all that time. I do not recommend them because they outsource all the best work to India now and all we get are foreign doctors whose English is horrible. The sound quality is also horrible. You won't make any money here even if you type 200 wpm. I am looking for another company now.
line rate for VR?
Is the 9 cpl for straight typing and VR? Usually VR is half, 3-5 cpl. I would kill for 9 cpl on VR. They contacted me also, and if this is what they pay for VR then I am testing asap! Let me know please. I love my FT job, but this would be a great PT gig.
Thanks,
Sue
70% of your non-ASR line rate. nm

Line rate
My line rate is the same regardless if it is a holiday or not.
Regarding line rate?
I know I probably should know this but is .005 cpl half of a penny, .01 cpl 1 penney or some type of tenth of a penny, also what about .015 cpl. 
Line rate
I found this in the archives: As of the recent AHDI/AAMT annual meeting, it appears that the method of line-counting known as VBC (visible black characters) is becoming a trend. All MTs should read the following report from Perspectives in HIM, February 14, 2007. http://library.ahima.org/xpedio/groups/public/documents/ahima/bok1_034023.html To summarize: counting by VBC results in a 31.5% reduction in line count, compared to the traditional 65-line (with spaces) count. Thus, to avoid a pay cut, any MT now earning 9 cpl should be
raised to 11.8 cpl if line counting is switched to VBC. This is a critical issue, and it does not appear that AHDI is taking any action to promote fair pay for MTs under VBC compensation plans.
Regarding your second question about the single spacing, IMO that depends on if you are a VA MT or not. VA requires 2 spaces and doesn't care a whit about the various editions of BOS.
70% of your line rate...for now. nm

They do pay 70% of your line rate for VR. nm
Good luck. :)
