$2.75 report good for radiology transcription?
Wondering if that is a good rate. Thanks.
If you are being paid per report for MRI's and CT's, what is a good rate? nm
:O)
Pay per report (radiology)
1. If a radiologist dictates CT abdomen/pelvis and you have to combine the reports, do you get paid for this?
2. If the radiologists read reports from another facility and the transcriptionist has to type them in the system (a different way than the regular reports), do you get paid for these?
3. If you transcribe a report dictated by someone other than the radiologist (i.e., cardiologist), do you get paid for this?
I have found that the discrepancies in my production totals have to do with all three of the above. I don't believe I am being paid for any of them.
These may be good questions to ask when discussing employment. Unfortunately, I didn't think to ask before-hand. I'll repost to let you know when I get the answers from the company.

radiology - pay per report
What is the usual pay per report?
Per report in radiology sm
I have typed radiology for years also. I have been paid by report on one account where no matter if it was 5 lines or 100 lines, same amount. I also had an account that allowed me to upcharge for reports that were lengthy. If you are in a regular hospital setting, you will get tons of normals and rely heavily on "canned" dictation. This is a great bonus. Of course, each account has different guidelines.
Radiology report rate
Before taking a radiology transcription position with a transcription company, I searched the archives to see if I could find an average rate per report for radiology. I found all kinds of rates that are being paid, but I thought that $1.40 per report was probably the average. The rate I accepted was $1.10 per report.
I have 24 years of experience in many different specialties. About half of my experience has been in acute care and the other half in radiology.
So far with this new job I have realized that about half of the dictators are OK while a couple of the ESLs take their voice away from the Dictaphone, especially at the ends of sentences. I spend time listening over and over to get those last two words! I've been wondering if I sold myself short.
I'd love to hear opinions from other MTs regarding radiology rates per report, with experience, yet new to company. I would also be grateful for any advice about the dictators who move away from the recorder (or loudly flip films during their dictation).
TIA
Radiology - per report or by line?
I'm switching from a company that pays radiology reports by the report, not line, to a company that pays radiology report by line, not report. Which is better? I've had so many looooong and foul reports, yet we get the same buck per report no matter how long it is. It would seem as tho getting paid per line is better - any thots?
Consider radiology jobs that pay by report.
You should be able to earn a good living even today with the right account.
Your experience will allow you to type about 140-15 exams a day on average, which a fast seasoned rad MTs can produce, you should be able to earn a good income.
Radiology pay report vs line?
Any opinions on which pays better, 9 Cents a line or $1.10 a report. I have always been paid by the hours, and unsure of which way is better. I am a fairly fast producer. 
how about looking for a company that pays radiology reports by report and not line? nm

I am paid by the line in radiology and I
Tried being paid by the report but was given long report after long report and actually lost money. Being paid by the report, in my opinion, is good if you have a fairly large amount of x-ray reports which are short and sweet and you can move right through them and that makes up for the longer reports such as MRIs and CTs.
Editing Radiology Reports - Need info RE charging per report (Exam)
I am in the South - any suggestions on going rate for editing Radiology Reports per report (exam)? I have seen charging prices from $1.25 to $2.00. Thank you for any input, it is greatly appreciated.
I get paid by the report and would only
consider by line if all I did were MRIs, CTs, etc.
paid per report
I need some advice. I have been with my company for two years and was hired at .10 cpl. I have recently been assigned to another account (radiology) which pays per report (1.15). The dictators are horrible and the reports are long. I am making way less on this account than I did on my previous account which my company no longer even has. Any advice on what I should do or any advice at all would be helpful. Thanks.
paid by report (help)
I am now getting paid by the report (radiology) and I was wondering if anyone knew what this consists of. What I mean is a two page report count as one report or what. I guess I am confused and need to know if this is a good thing or bad. I have also been paid by the line. So I am new to this.
Paid Per Report
Has anyone here ever heard of being paid a different amount depending on the "type" of report? A different amount for x-rays, different amount for mammos, different amount for ultraounds, and a different amount for CT's and MRI's.
PAID PER REPORT
I'm paid per report based on what type of report it is (XR/CT/MRI, etc) BUT if the report is abnormally long then we can charge double for that report. Most of my reports are about 1 page or less (mostly less) but if they go to 2 or more pages, I charge double for that one.
I have a feeling this is the norm for radiology. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.
Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.
Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
No, acute care is paid more than radiology. sm
Radiology is paid at a lesser rate in most all hospitals in my neck of the woods - Northeast!
Paid by report or cpl - Which is better in general? nm

Being paid per report for editing.
Do you guys think $1.38 per report is fair for doing QA in escription/and emailing feedback?
does anyone have good links for lab/path words and
equipment words and pharmaceutical words? I hate to spend so much on books that can't be kept current. I found accessdata.fda.gov and rxlist.com in a post farther down and already have them book marked. TIA!
Here are 2 good links for Lap Band forums. sm

You'd find links to some good ones on this site

We get paid $1.10 for radiology reports and my supervisor transcribes also sm
she pick all the easy doctors. How I know this is because if she doesn't finish them all she says "I have work that I couldn't finish I need someone to finish up." They are all the same doc no more than 3 lines or normals.
I do radiology now, paid by the hour, work from home, can it get any easier than that?
Great platform, but curious about being paid by line vs. report as well, which is best?
Addy of 1 inside w/links noted on that page. Good luck! Try

Check your records and report what she has paid you, you do not have to send in a copy a 1099 - nm

$1.25 to $2 good for radiology?
I am used to being paid per line and am wondering if $1.25 to $2 per report is good for radiology? This company tells me that the average report is 30 lines so I am guessing it is not just general x-ray reports.
Thanks
Does anyone know of a good company for radiology...
with non-teaching hospitals and decent rates?
Good company for Radiology
WEBMEDX - and they are hiring Radiology MTs right now.
iChart for radiology...good, bad?

What is a good line rate for radiology?
Currently being paid by report, 10 years experience. TIA
BTW, what R some good companies 4 radiology pay-wise? nm
Is Keystrokes a good company for any work type other than radiology? sm
I have seen really good reports on this board (and others) about Keystrokes being the place to be for radiology but have really not seen much discussion regarding other work types. I am primarily interested in op notes as I understand they will only hire if you have spent the last several years in a particular work type and ops are it for me. I wonder about their platform, pay scale, flexibility, whether or not weekend work is required, etc. I have left my email address in case anyone would like to privately email me. I would really appreciate some input. Thank you.
Can you make good money with radiology? I'm thinking of switching

14.00/hr for radiology private contractor job/PT, internet based. Good dictation.
When he said we pay by the hour not the line, I was unprepared to give him my fee! I typed for these rads when I worked at the hospital so know them well. About two hours per day of work for their outpatient imaging center (MRIs, CTs, mammograms, ultrasounds).
Thanks!
For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
Doesn't matter 1 iota if it is a medical report.She probably wouldn't know a good MT if 1 bit
the butt - that was my point.
Not a good deal! I get paid 20/hr employee for working with new MTs

Radiology transcription, what type of reports are considered radiology
I have lot of experience with everything and I would like to know what exactly is considered radiology so I know if I qualify for that type of work? I've had many types that I think qualify for radiology.
Means gross line is a good way to get paid, but is rarely offered anymore. nm

You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099.
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different. I had one woman try to pull this on me. She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other." Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line. She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios. I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I
had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.
if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm
