I ask them to sign my subcontractor agreement that includes some things like being HIPAA compliant. When I am interviewed for a new account, I tell them up front that I have subs (I couldn't do that volume otherwise) and do they have a problem with it. I did have one account however that even though I told her I had a sub, a couple of months after starting the account, she got upset when she found out somebody else was also doing the work and I later dropped that account.

Subcontractors
I have several subcontractors on my service (I'm a small MTSO). I keep files on them that includes their qualifications, references, etc., and a signed agreement to work with me. Part of the agreement includes their commitment to being HIPAA compliant (with specifics about that is accomplished). My clients are aware that I have subcontractors in my service but that I am the lead Transcriptionist and the editor/QA of all transcribed documents prior to their return to the client.
Calling all ICs and subcontractors
I'm thinking of switching to an IC. Tell me the absolute best thing about being an IC/subcontractor and the absolute worst thing.
Thanks. 
No, it stands for Screw Subcontractors!
what? I used to make .02/line off my subcontractors work and felt guilty.SM
The MTSO is making .07 line off your work? I know you did not say how much you make, but the MTSO must be charging the client a high rate. Like I said, I had several subcontractors helping me as an IC for local clients in the past, and made .02/line on their work (I am the one who printed and returned the work). You deserve better and are selling yourself much too short! P.S. - Unfortunately this is what is happening to this industry, and it's called greed.
