The company I work for pays
for radiology by the line .. .08-.09 depending on your assignment .. our radiology MTs do very well. The radiology work is MRI, DEXA, PET, ULS, and special studies. Experience in doing more than plain films is essential. The work is Monday through Friday as these are all outpatient centers.
The company I work for only pays
or anything else. They say we will go more than twice as much and make big, big bucks. Do you believe that? I don't. 4 CPL!!! And I bet you can figure out which company on your own.
I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
I would go 110% with the company that pays more...sm
Some will argue, but a good MT shouldn't have a hard time finding a job. I didn't. They are posted everywhere. Go where the money is! I was in the same situation. Going from platform to platform, account to account, slows you down more than you know. Hop on one train and ride it!
anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly? Curious.
As an SE the company pays your taxes, but
you have the flexibility with your schedule as an IC. I have always been an employee so I'm not up on all this, just what I was told at one time, though that was a couple of years ago and rules/regs may have changed. Don't know how SE would affect you being able to claim business expenses, if at all.
What company pays per report for QA?
I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.
nm
My company pays $15 to $18 per hour for QA but
I was offered a QA position and even at the highest hourly amount, I make at least $3 more transcribing.
Depending on how much discipline I have on any particular day, I make anywhere from $20 to $35 an hour but never any less than $20 an hour on production. Other than my hands killing me periodically, I would much rather transcribe!!
This company pays weekly...nm

My company pays downtime if
there is no work within your scheduled work time. You don't have to make it up if there is work later either. They don't guarantee lines though and the amount they pay is less than most MTs would make by transcribing, but it is money coming in. We went several months where some accounts were running out of work daily, now lots of accounts on OT until further notice.
My company pays very weakly! LOL
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
what company pays 17 dollars an hour?
JLG pays 21 dollars an hour, that is a fact.
Anyone know what a company called Synernet pays? nm

What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Actually, we both know that we are going to work more for the one who pays more!

So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Who pays the best for VR work?
Which companies pay the best for VR work? What schedules do they require you to work? Do they have benefits? I have 2 children to support so I need to have a dependable work also. Thanks in advance
Acute care work pays more

Transolutions pays for technical and no-work downtimes.

Transolutions pays downtime when work runs out. nm

Still waiting for work, but I figured it out. WMX pays for holidays (sm)
but only IF you get your required lines/hours in. Of course the work was low over the weekend, but we expected that, and now EVERYONE is making sure they qualify for the holiday pay. Make sense?
Not sure if you need bennies or not, but QT hires IC and has plenty of work and pays gross line! sm
You can apply at www.qtmedical.com It's a great place to work. Pay is always on time, always correct, recognized for holidays. They pretty much leave you alone and let you work. Very, very rarely run out of work. Depending on experience, pay usually starts around 7 to 8 cpl (gross lines) :)
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?
Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Chasing work from company to company - Have any of you ever watched (sm)
5 year olds learning to play soccer? The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball. Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work. This company has a new account BOOM here we go. Now it is out. Let's go here.
Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us. Not a particularly funny one either.
What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to
x
I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
I work for an all-US company and refuse to work for one that offshores. Best of luck to you. nm

Why would you want to work for a company with no QA? Anyways the only company that comes to mind is
I worked for in the past which is Medquist NJ Radiology.
Work PT for a company and noticed something odd. When I work the day shift I get (sm)
actually fairly good dictators, a couple of toughies, but no more than one would expect. When I do the late afternoon/early evening shift it is like night and day. I get some really crummy dictators and tons of problem/miscoded reports.
They have said that there is no cherry picking able to be done with this program so I just have to wonder if the crappy dictators can't get to the dictate stations until after 4 p.m. or what?
Nuff said, back to work. Thanks for letting me air it out.
I work for a company in FL. I pull my work off their
system in FL, so they do not pay state taxes. I've been there 5 years and they have never paid state tax. Don't know my state tax code, but since they are in a different state can't see how it would apply anyway. The IRS hasn't complained. I increased DH state tax deduction to compensate instead of having to pay quarterly taxes.
I work for a company with lots of work,
I work a second/third shift position and I still run out of work. I asked for a secondary account probably 6 weeks ago and haven't received one yet.
You can call the MTSO or your supervisior, but they really don't care, the work is getting done and that is all that really matters.
I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT
