High tier 4 now (out of 5--whatever) was highest MQ tier.
Can pretty much do it all. I detest pathology, too, and thick Russian accents. :)
New tier pay
I am a rehire with MQ. I found out about it when they offered me a half-cent less, but went on and on about how this tier pay plan would allow me to make up the difference. It's one of the "the more you type, the more you make" deals! As an IC, I'm not impressed!
MQ tier pay sm
That isn't very tempting when DQS keeps you from making a decent number of lines.
MT tier pay
I have been with MQ since 1983 but I have to respond on this tier pay thing. It stinks. The office I am at actually LOWERED the pay. I have been on tier pay for years and it was fine but when they closed one office and transferred to another, the tier pay was different. 4500 more lines per pay period before tier pay even started and then it only goes up 1/4 cent at that rate instead of 1/2 cent. I have screamed about it but have found out not all MQ offices are the same and they set their own rates. Now that the office I work for is closing too, I am wondering about tier pay. Its all a joke far as I am concerned when it comes to that subject.
Tier 3
This means you get all type of reports OR, DS, H&P, and others, etc. With Tiers 1 and 2, your limited to certain reports...I don't believe they do ORs. They may just do DS or H&Ps.
tier 3
I am a tier 3 with Medquist and harmonization says 10 cpl is the max.
What's a Tier 4 MT? - NM

MQ has a tier 3 level that is only Ops

I think so ... first tier starte at 13,000 sm
then next is 14,500, 16,000 (I think) and ultimately 20,001.
MedQuist has a tier 4/ops only, but you have to

Are there any Tier 4 MTs left out there? nm

it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
amphion pay scale tier 3? - nm

We are on a tier system, Base pay
for so many per pay period, then increased in 0.5 cpl increments for so many lines up to a maximum.
We work on a tier system, the more
production, the more money for my FT job. My IC job I make 10 cpl.
BTW The pay at these times with the incentive tier
At least for my abilities and b/c I am willing to work hard. My checks after being so low elsewhere are finally getting back to where they should be, and the bill collectors are much happier, so I am too.
I guess I'm what you would call a tier 4........sm
I can type pretty much anything they throw my way except I do have trouble with heavy Russian accents and I detest pathology and had rather not do radiation oncology but I can do them if pushed.
What's on your mind?
MQ-New Testing for high tier pay rate
one more thought for the evening on the tier pay rates
are these rates for new hires or will our rate of pay be adjusted according to the stated tier
and does the testing only apply for new hires
any where on the packet does it actually state what your present rate is and if not, and all the packets being sent out are the same, why were we all called--do we have to sign anything and send it back to MQ and when does all this go into effect
thanks for all your help
That wasn't my experience, but their incentive tier goes by lph sm
which boosts your line rate, so that is kind of nice, since I was only working part-time. I thought the platform was rather slow, though. I normally average around 300 lph and even typing like a fiend, I could only make around 250 at Webmedx.
TT have several levels of coverage; I took the upper tier ($500 ded., 90%). nm

Not sure, but they have a great incentive tier and differentials
and you can get those line counts. Reminds me of days working for the hospital, first time in years!
Diskriter pay tier scale decent?

what service area are you in and what tier level

No Calcutta. Mumbai or some other Tier 3 city.

Operative Reports
I want a company that has LOTS of operative reports - do not care if it is IC or employee - any suggestions?
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.
Wasn' there an ad for operative report MTs
just yesterday? Can't remember the name of the company who posted it.
Did anyone respond to the ad for operative report?
If so, what type of response did you get? Do you think it is a safe company to try?
TIA
Yes, at least some accounts have operative notes..sm
I have been hired to do a mix of OPs and ERs and will be starting next week. I looked on my offer letter but didn't see a tier status mentioned. I already have my account specs, platform instructions, etc., and amvery much looking forward to it!
choose being the operative word
That is what I said. You do have the right to choose the shift and pay you want. All i said was if you don't have what you want, then get out and find something that does give you what you want instead of all the ragging on about how miserable everyone is. I don't care when anyone works. I just get tired of all the people who complain but do nothing to help themselves.
Some just "don't get it" See the operative word sm
It is what it is and until it changes there is nothing you can do. (from earlier post)
This is WHY the complaints, this is WHY, they feel helpless to see improvement in the impossible situation. Don't ya get it!!!
"Used to work there" is the operative phrase....they are currently
hiring (again) because they are trying to fill positions for a huge new account starting in 2 weeks.
I agree, "average" being the operative word here. Most of us are NOT making $500 or more a wee

Believe the highest
I've seen for IC is 10 cpl, 11 cpl w/benefits has been gone since the 1980s.
The highest ever on VR I got was
probably around 3700+ for the day. I also have straight to go along with that. Usually on straight only I would do 2000+ a day. I had great dictators the day I got that almost 4000 lines. I have been told (?) by the higher ups we have people who can double. As far as the quality, we are not allowed to let quality slip as we have to keep 97-98% accuracy and we are checked every 3 months. The only problem I have with editing is now I edit the world and scan and immediately see any misspelled words.
I don't think there is a highest paying sm
speciality any more. Radiology used to be pretty decent. Wages have gone down across the board.
MQ pays the highest, but that's because
they give you so many different accounts to learn all the instructions for. Some have as many as 20 to 30 new accounts per day. It's not worth it. Are you sure you really need to learn VR? I'd stick to straight transcription. It pays way better.
where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

Which companies pay the highest for VR work? nm
Highest I've hear was MQ but I
VR doesn't pay anywhere near what it should for the work that needs to be done with it.
Considering I am one of the highest line producers in the company sm
I doubt I will change jobs. There are no other offices, just different account managers, and mine is the best one, and the one with the most experiences. My accounts are extremely heavy ESL and I do really well with them, over 300 lph.
However, she asked about the platform and, unfortunately, it is awful. It is clunky, slow, and screws up constantly. That is what I was answering, the question regarding the platform. My opinion is hardly an isolated one among the company MTs. The ones who find it as workable as you say are very rare.
Why not email ask lowest to highest rate sm
say prior to testing and interview as it will save both sides time. Also, ask, if there is a deposit on their supplied computer. Spheres was $500 returned in SIX MONTHS another was $300. I will not even consider this crap of 7,8,9 etc even down to 4 and 5. Don't waste my time, I worked hard to learn and stay current. When these rates are turned down, they will come up 10/line minimum.
Transolutions do not pay for spaces.
I used to sing the highest praises of this company, but they are s/m
sadly becoming one of many in the business who, in the end, caree nothing about the MT. I have been out of work for days! (I have 4 accounts of 90% ESL and do all work types). I am interviewing for other jobs outside of the MT world as we speak. Can't afford to sit here without work for more than a day. It has been more like a week with no work that amounts to anything.
I was told the other day that they had to hold work for one of our hospitals because that hospital has in-house union workers who needed the work!!!
Webmedx pays very well for VR - probably the highest or close to it. nm

Always email first, ask lowest to highest rate offered.
I bet they offer prob. 7 cents if that.
I recently emailed asking for lowest to highest line rate sm
it was toooo low 7.5
I routinely email lowest-to-highest rate offered sm
and did in April. Rate only 8 cents, to low for me.
Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
ER Reports
Can you make a good living typing only ER reports with a national company? Do any companies hire you just for ER reports? Thanks.
