Price and location of having a website made?
Posted By: Curious on 2005-11-20
In Reply to:
I have been a MT for 12 years, and I now have 2 Independant Contractors working under me. I believe I am reaching the point of needing a website, and I would really like a way for my clients to upload their .dss voice files through my website. Anyone know where I should begin looking or what I can expect to pay?

The price of gasoline is reflected in the price of goods. Having said that, one item
higher, MOMENTARILY, than Walmart, does not really make a case against Walmart. You want to make Walmart a bad guy because they don't have a shopper out there matching the grocery stores' price so be it. But MOST people I know shop at Walmart for lower groceries prices AS A WHOLE, and that is what makes Walmart successful. So buy your cheaper Bounty towels at your grocery store if that makes you happy. Your grocery store HAS TO MAKE MONEY and they will get you on something else. It is the retail law. Walmart will not be successful with higher prices than the grocery store. They aim to succeed. They have been sucessful in undercutting other stores. Your Bounty towels will not bring down the Walmart empire but it may cause you to shop at your grocery store where they will charge you more on other items to stay in business. Quit the knee-jerk responses. If you don't like Walmart and don't want to shop there that's all well and good. If you don't shop there because of Bounty towels, well that's just crazy.

Live in Oregon and I am cheap, cheap compared to others in the area.

LA Location
Gray is in south LA between Houma and Thibodaux, south east, I think, from where you are. About 1 hour and 15 minutes SW of NOLA.

That is what it boils down to. Here in the Pacific Northwest (of course it depends on how much experience you have), experienced hospital MTs are paid at an average rate of $15-23 per hour.

It is in Phoenix AZ. Just wanted to know if anyone on here would have any info on this company. I am applying.
Is this right? (location of JR in name): DOE, JOHN JR ? Thanks for your help. NM
it really depends on your location
I live in a cheap midwestern state with traditionally lower hourly wages, and I work for a county hospital, so compare accordingly.
I make 15.00/hr base pay plus 1.50/hr shift differential plus between 1.50 and 2.00/hr production bonus.

home office location-sm
I will take another look at another location for my office but I do like it where it is because it is handy for me (when there is no visitors), convenient to the kitchen, bathroom (I only have1), and I can start the evening meal and still work, etc. Why can't anything be easy?
curious about location of NEMT
looked on their website and it hasn't been updated since 2003. i may have worked for NEMT years ago. are they in massachusetts?
Location does make a difference . . .
I should have mentioned that I am in a large metro area. But I do still think you deserve a raise ;).
Seriously, I just think that is awfully low for ANY area. I don't know how many lines you average per page, though.
Now, I have seen radiology paying in the range of $1-2 per page, but this was still not what the office was paying, but was what the Transcriptionist was being paid by the middle man.
One other thought that may seem to contradict my previous thoughts . . . you do not want to price yourself out of a job or have too much of an increase too quickly, depending, of course, on how important this account is to your livelihood, and any raise at all is better than none.
Good luck!

need online file storage location
We transfer our files back and forth via email and very frequently the clinic is "missing completed" files which we have sent them. This is beginning to take up way too much time to look up and resend.
I need an online storage site where us transcriptionists (3) can send a copy of finished work and also the clinic receptionsist can also access to look for "missing files." (Preferably free or low priced) Any ideas?? Thanks. Free
depends on location, I know someone who lost a local account - sm
in Woodbridge, VA, was charging .12 a line (60 character line), got underbid and lost it after having had it for years. Now in order to get more but look less, she bids at .10 a line but a 50 char. line....comes out to .13 if a 65 cpl. You can't get much over .10 around here on your own which really stinks, or do some fancy accounting which in this case works.
..in an easy to find location like your Desktop or a certain file. nm

i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
No, it is NOT your price to pay SM
unless you continue to allow the "price" to be extracted from you. There are companies out there who value what you have to offer. Sounds like it is time for a heart-to-heart with your current company regarding at least being adequately compensated for doing all the crap dictation (believe me, they KNOW you are doing it) and if that fails...MOVE ON.
I feel for you and I hope this helps but if you continue to allow yourself to be used/abused to the point it is ruining your life...sorry but don't look to me for sympathy, you DO have options and working at Mickey D's is not the only option.
Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea, but I
still recommend them. Better than paying a big bill. I average 8000 minutes a month and they do not complain at all.
Price
It's around 12 cents where I am. However, this is a red flag that they are looking and you should be looking for a new client and dump them. Believe me, they will dump you if they're thinking about it. Too bad, if you're good, good ones are hard to find but they have to find that out the hard way. The buck is top priority. Good luck to you.
Where did you get the price?
x
Sure am. The price of EVERYTHING is going up and
the taxes are through the roof, but my pay would go DOWN if I didn't work longer and harder to make the same amount. This really isn't good! but it's life, so we plug along and live (or at least WORK).
My price - PS
I know my prices sound low but it is gross line and a letter is counted from the date to the signature line and blank lines count. That is the way that the company did prior to me taking the account over, very upfront about it and I continue to do the same and everyone knows about it. So that is why my rate to them in .115 per line but it adds up as they are surgeons. They prefer looking at the lower rate per line. I know it is the "old way" of counting lines -- use word and take the total amount of lines and that is my line count. Now you know why I don't want to give up this account.
Best was would be to price it out..sm
DHL, UPS, rental the smallest U-haul trailer and drive it home. Network with fellow MTs and see if anyone from that area is headed your way?
price
To me it seems a little low, depends on if you get a lot of consults or if it is just patient notes. Psych consults can have a lot of tests that take a while to set up in a template but once set up, as long as the dictators dictate them the same way, you can use them. My psych account I do for 11 cpl gross line and we have just converted over to digital. Used to pick up and E-mail back. But I do not have 24 TAT, I pick up on Th/Fri and have to have back by Weds night. Also depends on how may dictators you have and if you can do normals, templates, etc. Also each doc could want the same test set up differently. But you have it now, see how it goes and go from there. If you find it is too low, tell them and up it. Again, depends on if it is chart notes or consults. Sounds like you will be having your hands full to say the least. Congrats and best of luck. I do two psych, one for ADD children/adults and one that does a lot of consults for traumatic brain problems/cognitive and voc rehab.

I think the price was too low.
somewhere around 11 would have been fair. Of course they say, you only press a button and it pops up. I had a doc tell me about how he dictates the same paragraph with his normals and wanted a discount because of that. I told him he could just add in that part when he got the report back, since it was so easy.
In your presentations, keep talking quality when your clients are talking cheap. Show them how nice the finished product is and tell them you would be happy to work with the docs to help them make templates for redundant work so that --here's the kicker-- they don't have to dictate the same thing over and over again. Sell that the technology is for their benefit to make their lives easier. And again, when they say the little "but you only have to" just smile and say, how about if your staff just adds that when it comes back then...
Don't feel bad about underbidding. Do a really, really good job - spend some time in the office developing a relationship so they know you are a real person. I like to take my kids with sometimes when I drop by so they know when they sign the check, it's not going to a corp but to a family. Go high end on the service, get it set up so it works real good, then raise your rates. You asked about a fair rate and this rate is not fair to you.
Email me with any other questions. We can talk over some of your options and do some trouble shooting.
Not for that price
$18+/hour. I make more as an MT, but I would not consider anything less. I took a cheapy $14/hr QA job and the owner treated me like dirt. No way.
Seems to me for the price of the
book that AAMT should have used spell check before sending it to the publisher. After all, they are the ones who make all the rules, or are they exempt?
price is $30, not $70....
She is saying she can download the e-book for $30. The paper book is over twice that much. The e-book is worth that, in my opinion. With the book, you are going to look something up in it twice a year and it will collect dust the rest of the time. The e-book, being right on the computer, *might* get used more often.
I repeat, the price of everything, the value of nothing.nm

Often I think they lie about price, thinking they can

Fair price?
I just picked up a new account today but was so unsure of what to tell them in regards to price. It is a psych account, PHP program, and they said they dictate on a total of 150 patients per week at 2 facilities. They said if all goes well, they have 6 more facilities they can add. I was really scared of giving too high of a price and not getting the account, but I also don't want to get ripped off either. I have quoted prices that were too low in the past and really suffered for it. Anyway, I ended up quoting them 0.08 a gross line, which I think is totally fair. They will be using digital recorders and they will be printing the work. What do y'all think?? I want to feel confident about this.... 
price per page
We may be going to a per page in paying our at home typists. However, it has been a long time since I did this. What is the current rate per page (the employer) to pay for imaging transcription??
price per page
I may have to outsource some work to ICs what is the going rate for a company to pay for radiology reports, I was told 1.75 to 2.00 does that sound right. I hate doing line counts. Any thing will help.
Thanks
price of gas and daycare
I have a 30 mile round trip to my job. After being home for a few years on and off, it finally hit home that I needed bennies. So I bit the bullet and went to work at a hospital doing acute care. I take the bus every day. Much cheaper per week to ride the bus than putting gas in my car and my boss lets me flex my time as needed. I made a list of pros and cons and the bennies were the deciding factor as they are excellent. Much better than what I had which was zippo...Good luck in whatever you decide to do. 
Give them to him for a price.
Calculate how much time and energy went into making those and charge accordingly. You deserve your money.
price per page
What would you charge per page for radiology reports? You know some are a few lines for hands, feet, etc. and others (CT, MRI) are lengthy. sk
Great price ... does it come in
colors other than white? Laser printer quality? Or just ink jet quality? My client used to use sticky paper but decided after a couple of years it was not cost effective and switched to regular paper. They might be interested in switching back at this price. Thanks in advance!
Price per hour...sm
Depending upon the complexity of the dictation it can take anywhere from three to six hours. If there are multiple speakers it would be on the high end. The question should be can I work for 4 to 6 hours for $60? That works out to $15 ph for 4 hours and only $10 ph for 6 hours work. Definitely expect to spend more time than you think on any given dictation as the contractor will always tell you it's "easy". If they are paying by the "hour" instead of by the line or page you will be the one taken advantage of! I, for one, cannot work for less than $20 ph. Nor should we. We're educated medical language specialists.
Yay, a new one! Might get a good price, too, with
s
are these always $15, this is not a sale price?
Radio Shack rocks for the stuff I need. Especially when I can get memory chips for my digital camera dirt cheap. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL GOOD NIGHT.
Great price if you have a Mac
but I have XP. I wonder if it's the same program for both. Thanks for the update though! I used it last night and it's a pretty nice program. Again, thanks!
That the price of the barrel has gone DOWN a lot! nm

PRICE RANGE
I think you would be very ambitious and over-reaching if you charged 15 cents a line to think that you were competing with the nationals. It sounds like she is new to transcription and has no way to gauge what she should charge. If she is by herself, she is not going to be able to handle a clinic account or a hospital account by herself. They will give her over 5000 lines a day. She needs to be realistic on what she can handle before she thinks about what she can charge them.
This is a price for me to have the account myself...sm
I was going to give them a price and I was wondering if this was about right. It is family practice clinic work. They may not go for it. I am just going to give them a price and see what they think. My husband's cousin is really good friends with one of the nurse practioners in the office and I was going to let him put in a good word for me.
