Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
Okay - Everybody reply with NM if you are going to quit working today!
If everyone is going to stick together (happy with your job or not), then we should all notify our employer today that we refuse to work until things change for ALL american MTs. How many of you are willing to do that right now?
Thank you kindly. I will try again. nm

Thank you kindly, can always use more!......nm

I mean this kindly, you have much to learn
Keep your chin up about it. You do not realize this, but they are actually doing you a favor. They do not ever take on more work than they have MTs to handle. Quite frankly, it is the other way around. Many times they have to many MTs sitting around doing nothing waiting for work. This is your job - to help them handle ALL accounts, not just yours. Maybe you do not feel ready for this but you need to change that. This is the only way for you to become **professional** at what you do and build your skill level. I am trying to be very kind about this because you brought back memories of me walking in your shoes. It is not the company's fault about your income. Yes, it may go lower trying to learn a new account but that is only more $$ potential for the future. You should look at this as an opportunity to make yourself a more valuable MT.
If that WERE your only reason, you'd be able to do so kindly, not viciously. nm

Okay, let me see if understand, you bid on a job and whoever has the lowest bid gets the job... SM
You get paid by the company who accepts your bid and still you have to pay the website a fee for using their service?
My only question is, WHY?
Why is something like this an appealing way to earn money?
CorTmedical
Does anyone know anything about CorTmedical? A friend has been offered a job, and we want to find out what people know about them.
can anyone tell me about CorTmedical?
I'm just wondering about how the company pays and is this company okay to work for?

I don't know if a newbie can do better or not. I have lots of typing experience and a good knowledge of medical terminology. But all my work experience is "old" not recent, so therefore, I would have to go back to school (not just any medical transcription school, but one of the top three) and take a complete course in order to get a job doing this type work. I have done medical transcription in the past, off and on for several years; I also worked at a large insurance company doing transcription (some legal, some medical, and some just "business" type using digital equipment). But, I can['t find a job out there that doesn't want at least 2 years recent experience.

Dont work for them unless you want to work for free!
CorTmedical
are you still happy with CorT? I am not getting responses from them when i have questions, and work has slowed to a trickle. do you have any information about them?
CORTMEDICAL
Have any of you had any trouble with CORTMEDICAL or heard anything about them?

Hi Tiffany,
I just recently got bitten by this company. Have you ever gotten paid? I have contacted their state labor enforcement agencies, and I will make sure this does not happen to anyone else ever again. If anyone would like to join in my efforts to bring this company to its knees, just drop me a line. I will be happy for you to join in. Have a great week everyone!
If 13 is the lowest you can go and still make a profit,
Whether someone else can afford to charge 11 cents is not relevant. Don't fixate on thta. You need to calcualate all your expenses (both direct and indirect), add to that a profit you can be happy with, and that's your price plain and simple. If your client accepts it, that's great. If not, it's out of your hands, and you start looking for a new client.
which credit cards have the lowest interest now?
Looking to consolidate some bills, looking for the credit card with lowest interest
I tried DSL through my local phone company. The lowest
fee was $24.95/mo and wasn't much faster than dial-up. Lots of companies advertise DSL but they may not have service in your area. The commercials that show fast speeds (up to 5 times faster) for $9.95 is dial-up and it only works with internet site downloads, does not make FTP/voice/music/picture downloads/uploads any faster.
I would check out any company thoroughly to be sure they are legit, check out their claims, fees, technical support, etc.
CorTmedical - never heard of em, but they need to hear about the minimum wage ... - nm
Highest pay is anything you get paid. They still owe me
.
All I can say is make sure you have the highest - sm
Kbps modem available, 56?. That is what I use, the highest connection I can get is 44. If I get lower than that I just disconnect and try again until I get that or at least 33. Even if you do get satellite, most companies don't allow that anyway, so it's DSL, cable or no job. DSL is so close to me now, but I still don't have it, a friend has it who is 6 miles from me, but I don't, something to do with the towers (though I have 1 about 1.5 miles from me). What I find funny is Verizon offering high-speed DSL that is only 756 Kbps, that is not much faster than I get now with dial-up, makes me wonder a bit about it, thought DSL was faster than that, or are there different levels of DSL like dial-up connections? Anyway, I feel your pain, all I can say is try to find a job that uses FTP, has a 24 hr. TAT, and then it does not matter what type of connection you use. My daily downloads take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on the size of my voice files, don't matter though. I don't see why it matters to any MTSO what you have since usually you are working on a file while another is downloading, there ususally is no downtime due to the length of the download other than that first one. Whatever.
35 years here and highest 8
NM
20+ years here and still the highest offered
Consider yourself lucky if you've been offered more than 8 cpl for an MTSO. Now your own accounts is a different story. I make way more with my own accounts.
Its the highest rate I have heard of for IC work
I have not heard of rates that high where I live (Tampa, FL.) The highest I have heard for IC work is 12/13 cpl and thats pretty rare!
If thats pretty common in your area then dont back down, but around here that would be considered very high.
Hope it all works out!
Perhaps vacuuming is your highest calling in life...

I think Medtrans Unlimited pays the highest sm
They are in Austin,TX. Once at six months, it is 1.70 per regular minute and 2.12 a stat minute. On lines accounts it is .08 reg, .10 stat gross line. The company is strict and picky, and the software technical. However, you can easily make $1,000 a week there.
I would contact your highest in command. A medical
record is a legal document and could potentially contain info that would contribute to a life/death situation. If I were in a position of authority she would be gone yesterday.
AOL lists today that MT is one of highest WAH jobs!!
Look at the model they used...that's sure what the average MT looks like! LOL

I think I participated in that; certainly fit in the highest %tile in just about all categories.

Doubting this seriously myself. Even the highest producers here don't crank it out that fast. nm

You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
That should highest paid work at home jobs...look at number 7 to see the pic and listing!
That picture sure made me laugh. :)
My favorite speciality is the office who dictates it and pays the highest line rate.
It's the money, honey, that matters to me.
The so-called "reality show" is the lowest form of so-called entertainment in recent years
I hate them. They've ruined TV.
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w

Email reply vs. Post Reply
Could someone tell me how to post a message and then have someone reply by email instead of just "Post Reply." I'm pretty new to this "chat" board. But I WOULD like to say it is VERY informative and helpful. Too bad some of the companies we work for aren't as helpful as one MT is to another MT. We'd have it made!!
Please kindly ask word questions on the Word board. Thank you.

You get more working the evening or night shifts and working w/o benefits. And producing like a mad
,
Ditto....granted I am not working much these days, but am currently trying out a new way of working
when I do work which seems to be helping. I am timing myself and keeping a log of how long it takes to to type however many minutes. I am averaging anywhere from 13-18 minutes of dictation an hour now doing this. Granted the time fluctuates between who I am typing, and if I have to look up names, addresses, etc., just depends on the division I am doing at the time. But work that used to take me 3 hours to do is now taking me under 2 hours, I am also trying to put in more macros as I go along, which slows me down initially but pays off in the long run of course. I was working "all the time" before but took forever to get done since I was not applying myself. This new "attitude" has helped me a lot. My goal, in the Fall, is to do 90 minutes a day consistently at 6 hours, and then maybe get up to 120 minutes a day at 8 hours, still while having at least half of the day free (do 60 minutes at night, and the other 60 by Noon). Thereby doing 1200-1400 lines a day. I have never really buckled down and done more than 8000 lines per pay period, so it will be a nice change. Maybe you can do something like that and have a specific knock off time as was suggested below. 
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!
working IN A HOSPITAL is different than working at home.
Someone can steal you identity from the internet if they want to. Why would you go to the time and trouble to jeopardize a job that requires some level of skill to steal someone's identity or medical records? You could get a job as a retail clerk and get info easier than going through the testing required to become an MT.
Somehow working at home translates into not really working
My in-laws are the worst. Whenever they plan something last minute and my husband says that I had to work, they say, "but she works at home!". When I one time mentioned I had a "schedule" and basically punch a clock and work full time, I don't think they believed me. They will sometimes call mid-day during the week if they are in the area to see if I want to go for lunch, etc! The best is, my husband doesn't make all that much money, so where is it coming from, the money fairy? I am ready to strangle someone! So I know how you feel and I'm sorry it upset you. You are not alone.
I daydream about NOT working while I'm working.
There are so many other things I need and want to get done. I've been working way too hard lately, and summer is just slipping by again. Well, I'm outty.
thanks for your reply
and really sad too....
how's this for a reply
THE ARUBAN CASE INVOLVES AN AMERICAN, HELLO? Comparing this and the Idaho case is just plain stupid! She is an American and deserves to have Americans looking for her. God, give me a break!

Well I have only been working for 5 days now hard to say...

Oh you are kidding!!! I just tested and was offered an IC position.. did you work for them long and they didn't pay you or if I am being too nosey please tell me.. I hear so much on this and other boards about companies not paying, you just don't know anymore about any of them!!
I have to reply to this LOL
That is not always the case sweetheart (see being nice). I have been sugary sweet to these people and it does not work. I have found that if it is a woman on the phone..my husband gets where we need to be and if it is a man on the phone, i get where we need to be. Sad but true!!

Give this newbie a break! Trust QA? You don't if you do all that research. What makes you think no research was done?
Reply
Thats what i said..we don't know. So therefore, she needs to be aware that she should definitely do the research PRIOR to just leaving the job. If she hasn't then a new job is not going to do her any good other than show that she changes jobs often, which does not look good on a resume. As far as trusting QA...not ALL companies hire crappy QA. We again do not know. The QA COULD be right and COULD be very good at his/her job. You simply don't know, but telling her to move on before you even know the facts is just silly.
