Medical Transcription Service Owner :D
When you do not know, you should ask and you are not an idiot! :)
thinking about selling my transcription service...
 and just wondering if any one has any opinion on interest in that. The person owning the company would make a minimum of $82,500 a year, running the business and doing some transcribing part time. It would be very easy to do some marketing and bring in some new accounts, which could easily push that 82500 to over 100000 a year. I have repetitive stress injury and my doctor has told me I need to find something else to do. I was thinking if there was an MT or a group of MT's (the company is incorporated so shares can be sold) that would like to get together, they can eliminate the middle man, earn retail price for their lines and establish job security, not to mention satisfaction. Price would be around $250,000 but like I said, a group of people could go together to cover that and with a little work in marketing, it could be paid off in three years. The business is about 10 years old and to the point where it is generating its own referrals. It could really go places if someone wanted to spend a little time marketing to a few new hospitals. Any one have any thoughts on this.

Do you work in a hospital or a Transcription Service
Office? It is a hospital there should be a manager that you can go to or an administrator. Production is key in hospital work, and it is important you have the quiet you need to produce.
Software to Use to Set Up Digital Transcription Service
Hi Everyone,
Looking for assistance with setting up a digital dictation transcription service. What is the appropriate software to use for the digital dictation, transcription, downloading voice files, typing reports, uploading reports to facility, HIPAA compliance, etc. Would like to do this without spending a huge amount of money, but at the same time want to be secure and compliant. Any and all assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance. 
Transcription Application Service Provider.
IOW the smart computer folks who deal with the headaches! :)
They provide HIPAA complaint file hosting/ftp set up for MTs. Some charge per line, other charge per month, it just varies. Some provide a call in dictation service and charge per minute. It's great if you have no capital in invest in equipment. :)
I'm not sure but I think it's what some MTs refer to as a platform?

I think any transcription service can well assess an MTs ability
requires so many test files to be transcribed is taking advantage of applicants.
Considering selling my transcription service. See message
I have an established transcription service that I am considering selling. Anyone know who I would contact to pursue this? Thanks in advance.
I worded it wrong - should have said new idea for transcription service. sm
This "branch" of the company will be in office only. The rest of our transcriptionists are at home. I just feel that new grads have no place to go after finishing school but realistically they are not ready to be on their own at home for 6 months to a year. This will bridge that gap, let us train new MTs correctly, add more MTs to the U.S. transcription pool, etc.

American Association of Medical Transcription Service Owners
They do not represent the rights of the individual Transcriptionist it seems but rather promote their organization in order to continue to exist and to continue to survive, they seem to think they should stand up for the service owner and not the MT.
You'd think they would be giving information on how to get more production since our wages have stood still and unless speed engines are used, we make much less than what one would think.
Idea for a new transcription service. We are looking for some ideas to firm things up. TIA. sm
Here is the basic structure:
All work kept in the United States. Recent graduates of either a 2-year community college program or one of the better distance learning courses.
We are thinking of opening a combination office/training center. Half will be recent grads. Half will be seasoned MTs who like to mentor.
The seasoned MTs will get an hourly with a line incentive as there will be time taken away to be second ear for the newbies, more in the beginning, less as time goes on.
The newbies will have to be in-house at the company for one year on either 1st, 2nd or 3rd shift.
The newbies will receive either by the line or by the hour, have not decided.
What do you think would be a fair hourly for the new grad? For the seasoned MT who will be transcribing their own work and mentoring.
We want to be generous without going bankrupt.
Do you all think the idea is a good one?
If you could work in house at a company with good benefits would you prefer that to working at home?
Just looking for some input. It looks good to us, but outside opinions really can be eye-openers.
This is an established company, so there would be plenty of work. All of our MTs are home-based now, but not sure if everyone really wants to be home-based. We are near a major metropolitan area, so finding the MTs should not be a problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

..or when the doc dictates "prior report LOST by XXX Transcription Service...AGAIN." sm
I work for a national MT company, we do hospitals all over the country, I work from home. I have NO control over where the chart goes once I send it in, I'd bet the original chart was never dictated and hence never 'lost' by us....but in the case that it may have been, THEY HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER of the company to call them, they have specific contacts at the company for issues such as this...I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THIS, especially when all they're doing is bitching at me on a voice file. Funny, it's always the same couple of docs complaining of lost dictations. Curious that it's JUST THEM. ;-)
You will be notified via email. Gift pull is not instant because I also run a transcription service
in addition to running MTStars and the donation program.
Thank you for your patience!

I think they are actually dictating to a transcription service (Baker Sten-Stel) via C-phone
then they e-mail back to the doctor's office for me to type. So maybe it will go back to them for QA. Why I don't know. This work cameto me from a temp service and they obviously did not know much. I will find out Monday morning. Thanks for your input. I will more than likely be on this site screaming for help. The AOL question was just in case I can get them to use my home office next time, because I just switched to DSL through AOL and I was hoping that would would work with Express Scribe, my footpedal and their software.
We're not a transcription service. We offer toll free call in dictation
service at rock bottom prices. I was only offering you an alternative without having to put out a lot of money by buying handheld units.
We have decided to add this to our current service not have a new service. It will be easier to sm
keep track of and will just be a different department.
It looks like we will work out details over the next 6 months, talking with community college program directors as well as a few of the distance-learning course leaders to work on the recruiting end.
We will train current staff to mentor if they would like to do so and want to work in the office.
We are still working on production requirements, goals to set, pay, benefits and other fine details but we have 6 months to get it all in place with three months to pull it together after that with a tentative start date of 09/01/06. We need to build the building as well, although that is already at the blueprint stage in a spot next to our current office.
We did not want to cause flames and bashing by listing the company name as there are always so many negative people on this site, but we are national with over 200 transcriptionists, located outside of Chicago (40 miles west) and have the best team of transcriptionists around!
We will have an "official" announcement after the first of the new year.
Thank you for all of your feedback and suggestions!
My telephone service is VOIP, but it s through my cable service, along with my cable internet. .
We have had VOIP for about a year now and I love it. I really can't tell a difference in traditional service, except the price. One of the best calls of my life was to Bellsouth to cancel our service!
I am not asking for a service, I AM the service looking for recorders

Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
It is a service job and they should
help parents with small children and also the elderly. I think a normal healthy person with "more than a bag or 2" should not have them help them out to the car. It causes the cashier to have to bag, therefore delaying the progression of the line.
PS on Cox service
Did anyone ever receive any surprise charges from Cox, as this is what I plan to use to offer online service to others, i.e., long distance, etc.?
Do you have your own service? I ask because
that it is possible, especially since she has some educational background in the medical field. I certainly would not waste money on an MT course in this day and age (at least not if I am gauging the career opportunities available to MTs by what is said on this board).
I am NOT saying that just anyone can sit down and type, and being an MT is as easy as that. We all know that it is not. However, I was able to break into the field almost seven years ago by having a mentor from a local transcription company (I am in GA too, btw). If you are planning to provide her with work and review her work, provide feedback, etc., then there is no reason why she cannot do it, unless she is just not cut out for it, which you would both know pretty quickly. If she is cut out for it, then it sounds like it could be a great opportunity for both of you, if you are wanting to grow your business. If you are not going to do this for her, she will likely have a really hard time finding a job, unless someone else is willing to do so, and if you are working for someone other than yourself, then you likely do not receive a high enough rate to be able to pay her a decent wage and still earn something for editing/mentoring. (Certainly not saying that you don't -- I obviously have no idea what you make, but not many people who are transcribing for others make enough to share that way :).)
My service is actually going to be (sm)
Comcast here in the next couple weeks. Verizon is offering a 30-day free trial. In the meantime I will keep my cable internet just in case I'm not happy with Verizon. My cable internet service has been very frustrating for me, as far as not being available at least once a week for a couple of hours, always during my normal working hours. So, I guess it's worth a try.
ASP Service
Finally :-)I am negotiating with one doctor to be my direct client. For that I need some ASP service where he can dial in as toll free and I can get dictations thru FTP. Anyone please recommend some best ASP with minimum per line cost & reliable. Thx!
do you still do this service?
If so, are you happy without the middle man? Right now I don't have extra money to fall back on so maybe I should work PT with my present company and try do 1 account for now until I feel comfortable doing my own.
So what service do
you use for your car?
Could you tell me what the name of the service is?
You know, if it's "AT&T Small Business Plan" or something. I just want to ask for the right thing. About how much do you pay total for it? Thanks so much for the help!
Which service you are using?
I am interested, if it's .07/min.
Every service does it different.
I have found what is correct with one account, is wrong with another. Also, I try to give them what they want. They hired me for my help with their work and they are the boss. If I feel I am making good money, they can have it the way they want. If they want to be that picky, go ahead, as long as it is worth the money for me.
Have been looking into another service as well (sm)
I have Comcast and it is on and off sometimes, depends on if they are working on it. I am dreading the winter weather, because its out more than its on it seems. I looked into FiOS with Verizon, it is not available here yet, but their high speed is and they want a 2 year contract. Won't go that route to lock myself into something I may not be happy with, if u find something, let me know, but Comcast isn't the answer in Bucks County area
I don't know if it's possible with a service. nm

How's that for service?
A strange thing happened today. My husband, who is a hospital-employed MT who works at home, got a phone call from a doc at the hospital. It seems the dictation system was down, but he needed to dictate. He proceeded to dictate over the telephone while hubby transcribed. He dictated both an H&P and an OP note.
It was strange, but kinda cool.
LD Service
You may want to try magicJack (visit www.magicjack.com) - the service is $20 per year for unlimited long distance. Phone plugs into your PC via USB port.
For the fax service on your
computer, you have to pay a monthly fee which can add up. If you do a lot of faxing, it may pay off. If you do not fax often, just buy a fax machine. Bought one for $39 recently, saved 70% at new egg.
AT&T is the worst service, but what else do you
expect. It is all handled by those dumb east indians that think they have everyone fooled by making up American names.
Not in the service but hubby is...sm
Im sorry that your husband is in such a mess but there are other ways of handling it. My husband is just finishing up a 20-year career and I know very well the things that go on. Your husband should have used his chain of command...that is what it is there for. My guess is he will get a court martial, probably go to the brig for a while, and get a dishonorable discharge.
Okay to work for more than one service.
Is it okay to work for more than one service at a time? Do you have to be IC to do that, or can you mix and match with employee status? Is a small service better to work for, generally, than a national? If you work for a clinic can you also work for a service at the same time? Thanks for any input.
Working for more than one service.
Thanks for all the input. I appreciate the help. I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket.
Sale of MT service
Can you please post contact info? Possibly very intereted here. Thanks
Looking for dependable DSL service
I have had Adelphia and now have Bellsouth both with connection problems. It seems everytime I turn around my internet is down and not in my area but with my puter. I have to use Bellsouth webmail cause my outlook is always getting hung up. I call and they have to set me up with a new ISP# to get connected again. Very frustrated. Anyone out there have a good DSL to recommend. TYIA.
Is this service in Wisconsin???

IC vs SC vs Service continuation see sm....
I was reading the posts below....I've been an MT for 14 years with 22 years of medical experience. I am working for less than 9 cpl on some of my accounts. I would love an explanation of what the difference is between IC and SC. I take work from another small company..they do not EMPLOY me nor do they offer me benefits but I have always assumed I was an IC in this case. In reality I am subcontracting from them as they do not pay any taxes or anything for me, right?
I would love tips on how to increase my production. The company I was working for lost my major account so I need to make some changes and would love to email with other MTs who could offer me some advice!
Thanks in advance!
That's all I will do. Every service I work for. nm

Unlimited LD Service - sm
I use Verizon Freedom. I am wondering if anyone who uses this service and has had it for quite a while has had any problems with them, as in not wanting to cover their usage or receiving an expected phone bill for usage. I use about 8 hours per day.
