Transtech pays for all the headings in the report template, such as those in your example, and they
Posted By: Anna Falaxis on 2006-07-25
In Reply to: I'm confused. Demographics autopopulate - ok, but what else does? (sm) - HUH??
all the demographic stuff that is inserted into the header and/or footer of your report. A heading and not the same thing as a header. The only thing on a report that you are not paid for is the hard-coded header and/or footer at the top and bottom of the document that has the facility name and the spot for the patient information to be inserted.

who pays per report??
Can anyone tell me what companies pay per report for radiology and which ones have Meditech? Thanks.
QA pays for the whole report too. If they only
paid you a few cpl for what you type when you correct, you'd make less than $1 an hour...
What company pays per report for QA?
Radiology pays per report...

Rad pays by line and by report, depending on the account
I have had rad accounts at Keystrokes pay both ways. I haven't heard of one that pays for reports over 2 minutes, but it all depends on the client. Your starting rate typically depends on your experience. Everyone at Keystrokes is super-nice, you will like working with them. Agree with poster who said get a backup account from day 1. Getting IDs for your account can take quite a bit of time, so be prepared to wait. Good luck.
Radiology pays per report or lines depending on
account. Per report is less than other companies out there, but line pay was about average.
Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate. I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well. Thanks!
It's TransHealth that pays that way, NOT TransTech.
Anyone know if Transtech pays for spaces?
Thanks in advance! 
TransTech pays every two weeks.

Transtech pays as much as Transcend
.
TransTech pays 4 and 4.5 for VR... She said she just left
a place that paid that.... Could it be one in the same?
Probably would be better for her to just straight type. That is what I have to do also. HATE VR....
That is good $$ but Transtech pays a lot

TransTech Pays for Internet does Transcend?
I just read that they reimburse for internet, does Transcend do this too?
Does anyone know what Transtech pays for its Escription accounts?
I'd be willing to work weekends if the price was right. I've just seen too many Escription accounts pay too low, which to me, is 3 cpl and lower..One company actually offered 1.5 cpl. No thanks.
TransTech pays flat fee for training (NM)

Of course TransTech pays for spaces and they have a easy to get bonus structure.
I make as much as I did at the hospital, because of the bonus structure, retroactive to line 1. They pay for spaces and expanders, and they have ops normals too. Just wanted to put an FYI so people think TT does not pay for spaces, of course they do. You can make a lot per line with the structure and also differential and bonuses almost every weekend at TT.
TransTech pays early too, Payday is Monday but I get my direct deposit
late Friday night or Saturday.
If emails saying, "You guys make Transtech rock" pays your bills, let me know, because
I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.
Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS. That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

Do not pay for headings
If you have a report that has templated information they do not pay for that, headers, or footers.
VR not that great at headings. sm
Some reports good, some jibberish. Some of the Keystrokes - like changing case and such - are wonderful. Some never use. Does it make you more productive? In my case sometimes. Just disgusted with pay cut - oh excuse me, the adjusted line rate.
2 spaces between sentence; add headings when possible;
nm
Every account is different with abbrevs, headings, etc.
so do not think you can just go ahead and format it. One rule - nothing is ever the same at Transcend for anything.
VR is horrible - same problems over and over, nothing ever gets fixed. My pay was cut in half on VR and I could not get my lines even close to what I could do typing.
Communication depends on your ROM/TL. Some are good, others are really bad (and need lessons on how to spell because their e-mails are full of typos.)
Pay sounds good, but all in all, it is probably less than some of the other companies because the platform is very cumbersome and slow. I finally just put dates in every field because I could never remember which field was used for what account. Insurance is so-so.
Spheris MTs, do we get paid for preprogrammed headings SM
in the platforms. I am on TWS 3.8. TIA
Long reports, much editing to do, headings sm
are made when not needed, headings not made when needed. They've lied about how good the ISR is over here. Straight out lied.
On a good hour, I've only reached 300 lph (only if I've also had straight typing), many hours I am 120 lph, 110 lph on short VR reports only.
You can have 2 sets of headings in ShortHand, ones that are bolded and others that are plain. I had
accounts like that also, one using bold headings and the other not. For the bold headings, I would put maybe an x or a number behind the shortcut, such as HPIx for bold and HPIxx for without bold, whatever suits your fancy.
Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.
Most of us do not have much template work.
So, in other words, work is mostly template work, not straight typing. That explains it all. No wonder. :)

template lines
I just recently gave notice to a company I really liked because of that. Sure, I have 1,000 lines but when half of those are at 3 cpl it is just not worth it. What irks me is that is still takes time (and time is money in our business) to download the templates, change what the doctor wants, insert things, etc. and then I get a lousy 3 cpl for it? When I started with them it was not like that and I can see a real difference in my paycheck with the change. I will miss the work but can't live on that pay.
Does anyone know what template lines mean?
Thanks!
I think the template info should be included
My reasoning is that I believe part of the reason line counts are dropping is, due to automation with computers, expanders, etc., MTs are able to produce greater lines in less time than they were able to produce on typewriters. JMO (but I really don't think it's JMO, I think it's a fact).
yes, you are paid for template insertions
for the nit-picky stuff, huh?
Template/normal Question
Has anyone ever worked IC for a company who didn't pay any of the template characters? For example, I have many templates that are full of normals (which we have to go through and change around to suit what the doctor is saying - or we have to insert information here and there), but we are not paid for the normals.
Needless to say, this actually slows us down a great deal and keeps our line rates much lower than it would be if there weren't normals in there.
I hadn't ever worked for a company that didn't pay for this, so I was wondering if this is typical outside of my limited experience.
Any insight?
How does a company know if you are using a template you made yourself?
I don't think they can, can they? If the doc dictates an appendectomy and I have the procedure in my Expander and pop it in, how does the company know that?
In my experience, the only deduction is for keystrokes already in the template.
That is how I am paid - only for the Keystrokes I actually make.
I found a template while randomly googling - sm
While I was researching Meditech I came across a website for a company, I don't remember which one, that used it and had a template with the F keys on it. I think it was for Magic. Good luck.
My account doesn't have a template, I created my
own. The header/demographics is manually entered, though I have a template that has all the required information and I just fill in the blanks. I DO get paid for that information.
If you have horrible platform, do not get paid for headers, footers, template data, etc.,
even though it might take 3 or 4 minutes or longer to edit that stuff, you are going to take a big pay cut. This program was designed by idiots.
Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...
After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option). I am hoping this did not screw up my application.
I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call.
Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?
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...
I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT
/
MQ pays its MTs less than
cleaning ladies make. Believe me, there are many other jobs out there that will give you better than the pittance (and bad treatment) MQ has to offer. You deserve better. Don't settle for MQ's nonsense.

MDI pays 9-11 cpl.

My VR pays at
4 cents a line. I really hate to see that places are going even lower than that. My platform is an excellent one and if not for that would never be able to make the $20+ per hour pay that I make. It is so unresonable for these places to just cut pay to the bone. How will anyone be able to make any kind of living if this keeps on? From what I have seen over the years, VR has never gotten to the point where it can be on its own and by reducing the scale of pay, pretty soon companies will see MTers dropping like flies instead of doing their work.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
