I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.

What is their starting pay rate?
Interested in knowing. They seem like a good company but I have heard the pay is low for radiology MT. Could you let me know? Thanks.
What is their starting pay rate?
Where are they located?
Its a very good starting rate
I just wanted to know how they start NEW MTs at 9.5 and can only pay the old ones 8-9 cents?? Just don't seem right.
Could you share your starting rate?
TIA
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.
fair starting line rate
I'm considering going to work for a company paying by the line rate. What is a good/fair begining line count rate for relative newbie (<1 yr)?
They were clear at leat about starting rate
Frankly, at this point it didn't really matter. I need an extra job. Even at only 6 cents, if I can get 500 lines a day (of podiatry, ugh!), that's $150/week, $600/month, which will would take care of my auto needs at least (car payment, insurance, and gas).
I am not aware that MQ is starting people at the base rate.

So what is a good starting rate for an editor with no experience? nm
MDI-MD - What is the usual starting line rate? smsg
Upon receiving email from MDI, it states they offer a generous line rate? Any input here? I'm interested in the cpl rate. Thanks for any info!
I work for a major national and starting rate is no where near 9 cpl for acute care. (nm)

Old posts say IC,DSS files, starting pay not negotiable,rate increase after 90 days,1000-1500 lpd.

Do you recommend starting with clinic notes or acute care when just starting in the MT field?
!I realize this question may be better suited for the new MT board, but this board is my favorite)
I am considering accepting an acute care position, even though I am just out of MT school. However, I don't want the learning curve to be so steep that I fail before I even begin. I would also like to have a smaller pool of dictators to transcribe from as opposed to many.
Also, are there more ESLs in acute care versus clinic/dr office work?
What has your experience been? Would you do it differently?
Thanks for any insight!
How do you know list is true? I can make a list,

for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
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.
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.
From the current editing rate not typing rate

I got 10 for 10 yrs exp and just starting with them
Could you have misunderstood maybe?
Thanks !!! I was starting to wonder....
and just this morning, I got an email about a new dictator for my account..
Starting soon
I'm starting there soon. Just wondered as I have noticed it down this week. Thanks.
Starting soon.
From what they explained to me, it is quality and affordable, Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Starting out definitely no more than in the SM
mid 20s and that's if you are typing all the time. I have been doing this for 15 years and yes, I use expanders, etc. but I have never made more than $37,000 gross in any year (and some of my jobs were hourly PLUS incentive). My income has declined every year since 2000--the Social Security yearly statement attests to that.
Anyone starting with CIT? Do we know who they are? nm

If you are first starting out...
and need really good experience, Medquist is a good starting point. MedQuist is not the company for you if you want to make over 25K a year.
Maybe it is D&L starting over!!

Do you know when it will be starting?

all starting to come together now...
Good news; I've got my software installed, a primary and a secondary account assigned and am fixing to start training. When it started to pull together, it has happened fast. So far, so good.
starting over - help
never thought i would come back to full-time MT - spent the last 10 years raising my daughter and working part-time in various places that we have lived. My husband is in construction, and we just aren't making it any more. The only thing i know how to do is transcribe, so I am looking to come back.
I quit in 1998 - i worked for ddi for 7 years - after Rick Cammeron sold the company to MQ, it got awful, so i stopped. I really don't want to work for MQ again (they were really nasty to us). I did everything for ddi - lots of ops and consults, and cardiology (for Good Sam in LA - great account)
What are my options? who are the best companies to work for? what about speech recognition - can you make any money at it? I have heard some people say they can't make anything becasue they are getting 20% taken off their line rates -others say that they are making money at 50% off.
I don't know anything about the recognition stuff - can someone help me? I am interested because i might not have to type as much - i am willing and able to work hard, but when i quit, my hands were bothering me a lot - i have been transcribing part-time for doctors with no trouble - but only for a few hours a day - don't know that i could handle 8+ hours a day.
I have so many questions. At ddi, we were all independent contractors - i liked that, but then we didn't need insurance. seems like a lot of companies offer employment with insurance. what do they pay? i have heard from a lot of people that the pay is less than 10 years ago. how could that be? don't these companies know that everything costs more?
anyway, any advice would be SO helpful. I have to do this, we are running out of money, and i don't want to get s.....ed by some awful company that promises everything and you end up with all ESL and no work.
thanks everybody.
I will be starting 7/1
Have you started yet? Let me know how it goes. I've been out of the MT field for almost five years. I'm going to start practicing my old dictation tapes to get back in the swing of things. I hope everything works out and I like it. :)
Starting Over, thanks!
I've got about the same amount of experience as you have. I know what you mean about working at home and trying to take care of yourself, too, sometimes hard to balance everything, but for right now, even though I miss the social aspects at times, think this is what I still need for right now. Just need to a 'little'  more exercise time somewhere, or in other words make it a priority!! to fit it in. Thanks for the encouragement! Good luck to you
just starting
with MDI and am really looking forward to it...just being able to talk with someone who is on planet earth was soooo refereshing! i guess we have to be able to weed out the crap when listening to others...i'm happily heading in!
They are getting it, starting 6/1. sm
I called and asked after I saw this. The papers are being signed today and a letter going out.
Their pay is not low. For a while, they were starting sm
everyone at 8 cpl for 90 days to see if it works out for both people. As a Lead MT for them, I see a lot of people who test well and have great resumes but either do not do what they are scheduled to do, have incredibly low volume or horrible quality. This way, it is an evaluation period for both sides.
I do know that they will start higher than that and have been thinking of a few other ideas for that evaluation period.
One thing that I find funny is that for a while, there was a $300 sign-on bonus and a few other things in place related to volume and quality that would give more, but not many people bothered to do the math and see that if they can produce 1200 lines a day with good quality, it came out to 0.09-0.10 per line for that period and beyond.
I have been with them for 5 years this June. I have never made less than $45,000 in a year and that was only one year when I took time off for surgery and my daughter's wedding; the other years I have made over $55,000.
More important is that 0.08 per line with a lot of work is better than 0.10 with nothing available. JMO.
Will someone please let me know the starting pay
for Voice Systems, LLC? Also, if anyone has any current information on the company, such as pay on time, direct deposit, ESLs, platform and anything else you can share, please do. Thanks!
Oh, sure, 260 lines just starting on DQS.
Starting with MedQuist soon...
I've been through training and was emailed earlier this week that by my hiring coordinator that she was submitting a DocQScribe user request and would update me as soon as I'm added. How long can this take, and should I email and find out what the status is? Since I'm new I don't want to appear overly annoying or anything. Should I wait it out a few more days or not?
Thank you for saying that. I was starting to feel
like it was just me, but I agree. If it is not working out, that does no one any good. I wish you the best with them!! I hope they are great for you:) I wish they had been for me.
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

I am starting for Transcend next
week. I applied for heavy on the ESLs job listing, so it will be interesting. I do so many ESLs now at MQ, I don't think it will be much different. I am going PT with them.
She is a bit old to be starting a new business, I
don't think she would be very successful because after she lied to so many people and they would not be supportive of her. She was also having some health issues. I think she made a bundle off of the sale that she said would NEVER happen and she is enjoying herself.
that was supposed to be "I believe..." (I was starting
oops.
Starting at Keystrokes Jan 2...
It was hard to leave my current position but not enough work and a tightly locked wage ceiling...have heard lots of good things about Keystrokes, and right out the gate will be making more money plus getting paid vacation which I don't have now, so I'm excited! But I agree, change is hard! Happy New Year!
You are exactly right. New things starting, I believe.

Thanks! I was starting to think I'd been fired!

I'll be starting soon...
and look forward to it. Do you like it? That's very nice of them to do that! They seem nice. You can email me also if you like.
....starting with the owner! lol

No one is starting rumors
We are just trying to figure out the line count problem. Do you really think if we asked management they would tell us they are skimping on lines or how they go about doing it?
Starting on new account for TT
I am going to be starting (I hope) on a new acute care account for TT. I got the job offer 2 weeks ago and received account specifics, but thus far have heard nothing further. I am getting a little antsy over this situation, as I need to get to work asap. I know the recruiter is really busy at this time with new accounts starting all the time, but if they need help right away as they advertised, shouldn't they get new hires on right away? What gives???? Thank you for your thoughts regarding this.
