What Type of Reports
Just curious as what type of reports you type to do such a large volume? Wow. I guess I'm slower than I thought.
Hopefully you type your reports bette than
However, have the time, probably should be half, but what do I know?
are you limited on what type of reports to do?
That could make a difference. I never run out of work, but I do all work types.
Find out what type of reports you
will be getting on your shift. Pay per report is great if you are getting a majority short routine examinations, such as chest x-rays, lots of canned/normal reports. If you are on a teaching hospital account the docs have a tendency to ramble on and on, and per line is better. Some MRI's and CT scans be quite lengthy too. Ask about the specific account you will be on: Do they have canned normals, do the docs routinely use the normals, what majority of exams will be Interventional versus routine. Both 9 cents and $1.25 are a fair rate of pay.
Also consider the reputations of both of the companies. Which one offers the better benefits, what is your gut feeling. Is it possible to work for both for awhile to get a feel for them? Hope this helps. 
Would love to know what type reports
you are transcribing to get 2000 lines at 80 to 90 mins. Personally with my work, the line count is usually pretty close to the minute count, i.e., 90 minutes equals 900 lines.
Don't want to have to use keyboard to type test reports. Anyone know (sm)
of companies that just do the verbal testing or a company that you can do the test reports using the same foot pedal control we use with Medquist?
If you want canned reports try Transtech
ESP for shortcuts and paragraphs and another normal for whole documents. You can look up old reports by patient, doctor, dates, MT, etc. I get a lot of lines at Transtech with this feature.
Same for TransTech - have access to previous reports

What type of platform does TransTech utilize?
Is it hard to learn?
MQ as an SE -- no limit.

I bet you don't limit yourself to one sm
work type either like the other poster do you? One of the other posters gave herself away with the clinic work comment. If you only want to do one type of MT then it limits you to when you can work and how much work there is.
Keep doing what you do and you will always have a job even when these whiners are unemployed.
Isn't there an income limit that you
can make and after that you have to pay in?
My gram worked after she started drawing, and I'm pretty sure there are income limits on this kind of thing.
Why would you limit yourself to two lousy companies? There are better. nm

Those of you w/ Keystrokes, what LD do you have? I think my unlimited LD actually might have a limit

IC earning limit for one company???
Has anyone heard of a law that says you cannot make more than 25,000 a year for one company as an independent contractor? You can make 50,000 if it is 2 different companies, but one company cannot pay you more than 25,000 a year and if they do, then you must be employee status???? Please email me or respond if you have any information on this. Thank you!
And I asked Transcend to limit their posts.

But they do say to limit emails when short staffed
as
Maybe you could ask them to limit your docs and/or specialties until you get more familiar? nm

Thank you so much. I couldnt understand that 8, 16 and 24 hours very well. I wouldnt want to limit
myself to that.
where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

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.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
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.
Maybe that is why they only let you do a few reports a day but

I believe they will get them to do op reports, in which

I luv Op reports
:)
ER reports
Was there a posting on these boards recently about doing mainly ER reports? What was the name of the company? I cannot find it now. Thanks.
Are the reports
in the accounts worse than what is on the TH test when you apply?
I have had years of proofing horrid accounts. :)
My really great fear is that I won't be able to get my line count. I HAVE to get my line count. I will be leaving a job with awesome benefits, retirement, blah blah blah, but I want to come back home with my children.
Sigh. If only it were easy.

IME Reports
I need some opinions!! I may be typing some IMEs in the near future and am getting paid by the gross. Do you think that should also include the templates, or only what is actually typed??
IME reports
If I am getting paid by the gross line for these reports, do you think the line count should also include the templates? I have never done these before and some say it should, and yet that may seem unfair??
reports
I do radiology too, but I don't near anywhere close to 200 rpts per day. Is that all plain films minus the MRIs, CTs, etc.?
They allow you 10 reports a day, I believe.
train, which I think lasts 2 weeks. Not 100% sure if this is still the case, but that's what they were doing at one time. The recruiter is very nice and will answer questions like this one. If she doesn't know, then she'll get you the answers you need.
yes they can see reports at TT
Control S, quick find, highlight a job or jobs and click statistics.
OP REPORTS
Absolutely yes. When checking the Lanier dictation minutes, the same amount of minutes was almost double in line count as compared to H&Ps. The other reasons posted below also play a part. Otherwise, why would be have Voice Recognition anyway?
rad reports
$1.20 at some companies but the work is low so if you get a lot of work for $1.10, you will make more.
Op reports
Try TRS - Transcription Relief Services.
ER reports
I've never seen a single one! They're probably typed offshore since they're considered easier!
As an IC, 10 yrs exp. in all but OP reports
what would you say is a good wage for a 65 CPL? I was thinking 10 CPL, but then I've been offered two jobs now at 9 CPL. What do you think?
Reports.....
I also applied and got the same response, but I must point out that these are long IME's, 4-40 pages in length, so one report could take you a while to do until you know the full format and correct way of doing it. Stop bashing people and companies until you know the full story.
So if you have to fix the reports anyway, you still

ER reports
ERs are my first transcription love. I made a lot of money typing them and enjoyed the variety they offered. The doctors dictate the same review of systems and physical exam repeatedly, and that's where you learn quickly to become one with your macros! The reports are fast, unlike discharge summaries, for example, where there are frequent long pauses (i.e., a waste of your time) while the dictator lollygags and reads the entire chart while dictating. ER doctors are accustomed to working on the fly. If you can find an ER account, grab it! You will love it.
ER Reports
Does anyone know of any companies who have specific ER accounts? Thanks!
Those reports
are going to be awfully hard to read without spaces.
I also have my QA reports, all of which are 100%, would YOU like to see them?
nm
RAD reports
I totally agree. Back in 1996 it was $1.00
I average100-120 reports a day. nm

Do you mean the reports come up with OR or all work or what. Need to know what you mean.

Comparing reports
Knowing I was going on DocQscribe, I kept 10 reports from MTs and their line counts and then pasted them into DocQScribe after I had been on it for a time - compared the line counts and they were almost right on - I had to manually subtract the header information in order to make it come out, but we know that we don't get paid for headers anymore.
I know that my biggest problem is the internet - when late afternoon comes and I am pressed to get done, my line count goes way up. If anyone can figure out how to discipline themselves from "surfing" - post it here - a lot of people would be very grateful.
