QA Scores
Some companies want 98.5, and then some want 99.5 and above.
QA scores
I am QA and I could't agree with you more. MTs need to care about what they are producing but... what is happening is that these companies don't want to pay MTs what they are worth for their experience. As a result MTs don't give a crap what they do anymore if the company could have such little respect for them as human beings. QA on the other hand is hired to do a job to provide accuracy scores. But then some supervisors do not back up QA and sides with the MT. Why? I guess because they feel badly for them making such lousy money, thus the vicious circle keeps going round and round and nothing ever changes. The answer is not to point blame at anyone but the company executives themselves who are making this a horrible situation for everybody by paying such low line rates. Believe me, it isn't a bed of roses being on the QA side either, the money is not what you would think for years of experience, and respect? Forget it, we're treated just as much as trash as anyone else.
QA scores
Well, my last two QA scores were 99% and above!

Personally, I'd rather have a company that is picky about QA. We must have accuracy in all areas of the healthcare field, so I say hooray for Amphion for insisting on it.
QA scores
Obviously somehow you got the idea that I did not care about quality in a medical record. By no means do I think that a company should compromise quality for any reason. But they should also be realistic about the entire situation as well. When an account is verbatim then it should be verbatim, not verbatim if and when it applies. In our QA system you are scored down when you do not follow the dictators instructions of where and how to punctuate, yet just recently I had a report returned from a doc when I did just that. Not only did this completely contradict what the rules for this account state, but it will also count against me during the next QA eval. Do you think that is fair?
QA scores
No, I did not get the impression that you didn't care about quality, but I do applaud companies that have strict standards. I think if you are following the rules of the account, BOS, and whatever other guidelines your company has, then you should not be counted off on your QA score. However, I know every company has different policies for their QA department, so I can't comment specifically on why your company would count an error for this.
I made over 40K as an MT with 100% QA scores. SM
It is possible - but RARELY as a new MT. The money starts increasing when your fund of knowledge increases and/or you're using your Expander effectively.
For what it's worth - I also read very quickly, so I proofread as I transcribed without slowing down.
Testing scores being perfect...
I do agree with you that on testing for positions when it is obvious especially with radiology that a physician is blurbing a blurb that he probably says a thousand times and you have no access to a sample, it is unrealistic to expect someone testing to make that 100% accurate. I had that happen to me on a test for radiology I'd say about 2 years ago and the recruiter and I went back and forth. She got really nasty, and all I was trying to get across to her was that obviously that radiologist has a canned normal. She was very unprofessional and I was very offended. 
I doubt the quality scores are because sm
why would a client ask for someone with a quality score of 96.7? I still see people well beneath the minimum amount of lines (back when we had work) for even part time. These people are still there today. Why can't they use the time we are low to start weeding these people out?
What is pay range for OSI? nm
JLG pay range?
I have a telephone interview on Monday with JLG. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the telephone interview consists of and maybe the pay range (I know an exact pay cannot be given since it's based on individual factors).
Thanks!
i believe range is 9-11 cpl.

I don't know that they have a range. They
asked me how much I wanted, I said, and they said they could do that. More than 8 cpl and there is a shift differential.
Pay range, per line, MDI
Can anyone out there share this information? What determines there line; 65 with or without spaces and the pay range for this. Is there platform productive? Thanks.
I have been looking at four companies that range from sm
$1.00 per report plus .50 for each link to 1.35 per report but links are not paid. The average seems to be $1.10 or so. It is still good money when you think about it. I type 15-20 reports an hour, so even at $1.10 I make more than the hourly at most hospitals and I don't have to leave my house.

No one makes $0.07. The range is sm

I made in the range of $50,000.00
I have some of my own accounts and do very low volume for an online company that I started the end of last year just to get some experience online. I think if you have the experience and the dedication, you can easily make $50,000.00 per year doing transcription. I wouldn't know about working for nationals though because I only tried one, and I did not like the platform. It was not productive. I can see where someone putting in 40 hours and working on a platform they like as an employee and receiving incentives could make $45,000.00. I do not think that is unreachable, I just don't do nationals or acute care. Maybe acute care pays more, I'm not sure?????
I also make in the $30 range at KS
NM.
It should be though. A company can have a pay range, but
they can also pay someone more than the range. If the pay range is usually 8 cpl and I get 10 I'm not going to discuss that with another MT because then they will ask for more money or say so and so makes 10 cpl they can't I have more than 8. The only person I discuss my pay with is DH.
Transtech QA Pay range
Can some very kind TT QA person (or anyone who knows) email me with the 'range' of pay for QA - third shift? Thanks so much.
Oracle pay, anybody know the range?
just curious what a good pay is with this company.
I had a QA person tell me she was in the 350 range
when she was typing and before she moved into QA. I've only gone up to 300 on occasion and that's on an account with templates. Straight typing I'm more in line with the OP in the 200 to 250 range. I keep trying, though. Like the rest of you, I find if I go too fast, then stupid mistakes come through.
QA Pay Range for Hourly?
Hi,

Editing rates of pay range from about 4 to 6 cpl.
Unless you go to work for a different company there shouldn't be much of a learning curve, but any different company that you go to work for is going to have a learning curve because that's just part of starting a new job. I don't think anyone should be compensated any more for training and it's a darn good motivator to get the ball rollin.
At least give me a range, 7-9 cpl okay, we will keep talking. 3-4 cpl no need to go further. I
:P
Depends on the account I think. The range is $1.05-$1.50. sm
I average 22 reports an hour.
Any idea what the rate range is for
nm
she asked about pay range, not about opinions
nm
I make much more than $17 an hour, more in the $30 range. sm
You sold yourself short. Did you pass their test?
Things that are good are sometimes worth waiting for. Why do you call it BS when you know nothing about the company other than you applied? Geesh. This must be Keystroke's week to be bashed. Who is next week?
If you have a good range of dictators...sm
I do radiology and acute care for a facility. There are some doctors I am glad I get paid by minute and there are some that I wish I was not so it all equals out. I read an article some time back about being paid by the minute of dictation is really the more fair way for Transcriptionist to be paid. I have 3-4 docs that I speed up so I do their lines in half the time but still get paid for the whole time. It works for me.
Does anyone know the pay range for decent companies,
including VR. Guess I have to bite the bullet and learn how to do it, but would lke to be paid a decent line rate. I am experienced.
Thanks in advance.
