between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.

What is the current pay rate per report for Rad?
I checked archeives, and in 2006 an average rate was $1.10....is this still the case? That seems low. What if the client does MRI, CT, PET, USD and Xrays. Need help! Thanks!!
As a current M-Tec student, how do you rate the program?
I was really hoping to hear from some in a current program so thank you for responding. I probably should have put it on the new MT board. Anyway, I don't want her to waste her time and money so we are being extremely careful about where she gets her training and education. When I started 25 years ago it wasn't an issue , called on the job training, but now it is. The last thing we want is for her to spend the money and not be able to get a job due to lack of experience. She will be sitting along side of me so I will be there to help her, but still, eventually I want her to launch off on her own (quickly). We are willing to do what it takes, but just need some advice on how to GET a job once finished with school. Thanks again!
That is a low hourly rate. I would look
elsewhere. That is below normal.

On the east coast the hourly rate it $14 - $20.
Hourly rate
Not sure my last post worked or not. Hourly rates fluctate around the country, however, in South Florida, the average hourly rate is 12 an hour and then each company/hospital then uses their own benefits/production bonus programs.

What is your hourly rate? nm

wow that's a very high rate for hourly isn't it?
I would assume most don't make that with production? I dont know...
The in house job offered for the hospital was about $14.00 an hour. I feel ripped off!
I think your hourly rate pays for whatever they want you to do.
If they want you to answer phones or sweep the floor or transcribe office notes or give shots or any combination of jobs.
They are paying for your time.
If it were me, I would have a separate hourly rate that
I would charge for things such as that, and keep a total of the time you spend doing this, but definitely bill them!!
you don't have to charge $60/HR - all you have to do is charge a good rate and then..
work smart, not hard. If you have a great dictator, charge him 14 cpl on a 65 char gross line, then set up your templates and word expanders, you can make $80/hr. But you need all three to work together, otherwise you might only be making $60/hr. Some people are just really good at what they do - shouldn't they make more if they are more productive?
Calculate your hourly rate for transcribing
and charge them that, i.e., if you normally do 200 lph at 8 cpl, charge them $16.00 an hour.
That's what I would do.
Nothing. Never take line rate for editing. Take hourly only.
You will never make any money by the line editing if you are doing true editing.

Hi,
You asked about rates...I charge 125.00 per recorded hour of audio and have no problems getting work.
Rate to charge as IC?
Wouild anyone feel comfortable in saying what they would charge for work as an IC? I have been contacted by a medium-sized group of ENT specialists about doing their MT. I need to get an FTP site, which are very reasonable monthly rates. But, I'm not sure what to quote as a line rate in my prospectus. I was thinking 12 to 14 cpl, but is this too low?
Thanks for any input. BTW, the group are located in the upper Midwest in a very large metropolitan area. 
WOW! Great Hourly Rate For Editors - Over $14 to Start!!!!
I just started working for Soft Script in Calif. as an editor for 0.05 per line. I found this was not enough money for me (even though I accepted it to get my foot in the door) and talked to the senior vice-president Joann who gave me a great hourly rate. They must do this for all their editors. Today QA, tomorrow the rest of the company!!!! Can anyone tell me more good things about Soft Script and your experiences???? I am jazzed and enthused to learn more about this comapny and look forward to hearing from you all.
Personally, I wouldn't touch an hourly rate of under 18.00.

Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate or annual salary for sm
in-house hospital employee around Carmel Valley? Hourly range or annual salary.
Thank you so very much for any information!!
If you are working at an hourly rate in a hospital setting, then you are
going to be in for a shock when you go to production rates. Most of the in-house positions were farmed out years ago. If you were lucky to secure an in-house position for this long, consider yourself blessed.
What is rate to charge per report not as MT...sm
I really need to know what going rate is...Illinois too...for charging by the report for radiology. I know that some MTs are paid 1.20 per regular and 1.50 for specials, but what is the client charged? An account wants to be charged per report not by the line and I have only charged per line for 10+ years and have no clue what the rates are for this.
In checking with the only person I know getting paid this way for radiology reports, she is paid the above rate, but have not seen any discussion for the charge to the client and don't want to be underbidding....hard enough getting good wages without underbidding for services.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Rush Rate - What do you charge?
 If you had a client consistently dictate Friday or Saturday and ask for a large volume of work to be returned by Monday, would you charge a rush rate? What percentage hike to your normal rate would you give? This particular client dictates the majority of the material over the weekend and always asks for it back ASAP. I have reiterated my work week consists of Monday through Friday. I have decided to implement a weekend or rush rate so to speak and I am seeking opinions or experience. Thank you. 
Charge 1 1/2 your normal rate.
If you normally charge 8 cpl for M-F work, charge 12 cpl for anything that is stat or weekend work.
I used to charge a flat rate
If they don't like it, then they'll get it right the first time. I think 2.00 is fair since you have to pull it up, etc., and it is taking time out of your day.
You are basically charging for your time, but why shouldn't you? It's not like it was your error.
I have been in this business a long time and I am in a funky mood, and let me tell you, I am about ready to charge out the ying-yang for everything from now on because so does every other business operating in the USA.
They were going pay me an hourly rate, training pay. It doesn't matter, I just tested for two ot
and I did pretty well. I should get a couple of offers in the next couple of days, hopefully -- I don't want to be overly confident because if I learned anything out of all this it is don't count your chickens before they hatch and don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Proof positive that an hourly rate would eliminate those types of situations.

Per page rate for legal transcription - what should I charge?
I have only done medical transcription and we charge by the line, not by the page. I have been approached about legal transcription work for template documents such as wills, estate planning, etc. I have been asked what I charge per page...I live in the Northeast/Connecticut area. Can anyone advise me what the current rate per page would be?
The going rate to charge a client for rad by an MTSO is in the $4.50 range.
Need to figure in what type of reports, etc. Never go below that - there is a lot of administrative work to do.
I charge 1.5 times my regular line rate.
You need to charge for this extra service. Stat reports should be charged at a higher rate or per r
Never lose money. I have unlimited long distance and when my docs what things faxed, etc, I charge them per report to fax the document as well as charging them to transcribe it.
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
ME rate 80% of baseline MT rate

DQS pay rate
Hold onto your hat, honey, it's bad. Real bad. I used to type 500 lph, now barely 120 lph...This depends on wether or not you're used to straight line or character count. Rememeber, your word Expander won't work, no headers, no footers, no signature line, no CC's. AND, to top it off --- you won't get paid for spaces --
my pay is now less than 1/4 and they're making me statutory w/no benefits for me or my child. Jumping ship. New job starts Monday.

Depends on area, location, what is your experience, what kind of account, whether or not you pick up and deliver, etc. Can vary from 10 cpl to 15 cpl. What do you think you are worth?

I am one of the few that get paid per minute of dictation. Could you tell me what your rate is and if IC or employee and what area. Thanks.
Pay rate?
Was there every a time that MTs got paid per word rather than line? If so, why did it change?
As an IC you should set the rate,
You will need to talk to them and tell them you need to raise your rates. They may not be willing to accept it though.
Welcome to the wonderful world of an IC MT.
