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.

Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
go to Tools -> Word Count in open document and values will show. nm
nm
I am including all insurance deductions including nm
n
We had a ton of people in our office quit because of the low line count on DQS when switched from
another DOS platform to DQS. Same account, same doctors LESS lines.
Open RadNet first and then open IT. Then the up Arrow and highlight to link, then OK.

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.
Transtech pays for all the headings in the report template, such as those in your example, and they
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.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm

by char
Stop. Redlight. Too complicated to explain here, but problems with that method are major reason things are now calculated by line in 99.97% cases. There has to be a reason a co. would go this route. Tread lightly. Think wisely. If it seem to be too good to be true it is.
Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including
sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !
Low pay, offered 0.065/65-char and this was for IC. No thank you! nm
x
They are IC only, starts at about 0.06/65-char; too low for me! nm
x
Well, I got started at .08 for 55-char
line. My checks are really good and that's all I care about! Like I said, my checks are more every 2 weeks that they were from any other company I worked for.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.
Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
..
I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
I make .05 - 65 char line now, what should I be getting?
I have been working for almost 2 years.
Execuscribe...65 char gross...nm
xx
They are paying 0.05 per 65/char line for VR nm
x
Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line
nm
Will it be a 65-char. line or longer? nm

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line. I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate. Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line. What does this equal out to? Does anyone know how to figure it out. TIA!!
ya, it was a wierd char/line...sm
you are sane in my book, if that counts LOL
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this? Is this good?
The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm
x
Is a 55-char line without spaces good?
Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces? Which one is better?
Paid for 55 char black line...
Can anyone tell me if they get paid this way instead of the 65 w/ spaces? If anyone else does, can you tell me roughly the difference it makes versus getting paid for spaces?
Thanks
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Mark off a 65-char line. Then take random
sentences from your reports. Then count the spaces. Or you could put it in Word and use the tools to average it out. The average of spaces per 65-char line is more than 10. Try it yourself rather than just believing what you've been told.
Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.
But if they are saying per character are they including spaces?
I'd ask if a space = a character. ;)
I couldn't find anyone, including TT, who would allow only ops.
nm
Do you happen to know if it would be any different including a spouse?
nm
No one here, including the OP whined about working..sm
a weekend! You assume way too much! Of course there are times we are going to all have to work weekends. The point of this whole conversation (since you obviously missed it) is how crappy it is for MTSOs to offer only one of two schedules...give up every Saturday for the rest of your life or a Sunday. Some people do like to go away for the weekend, to their child's Saturday soccer game, or to church! Rotational weekends are awesome and I do them myself! I won't however give up every single Sat. or Sun. until I leave this company. It's not happening!
Many of the ones in the "management" positions, including
ROMs, team leads, and the rest, have never been in management and do not know how to handle having power. It goes to their heads, so they are on an ego trip, they love to manipulate and care less about who they hurt on their way up. They only care about their bonuses and big pay checks. They take care of their friends and everyone else be damned.
I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?
dd
Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.
nm
PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
