ProScript lin rate

In Reply to: What do they pay per line please. - MT

I suggest you contact the recruiter as the line rate mentioned here is not correct.  It's always better to call a recruiter because that is where you will get the most updated information.  Email employment@proscript.com.

Best company around to work for

Just started with proscript and am still on QA but love it - they are fair and all parties are wonderful to deal with. 
ProScript
Never heard of this company.
Where is it?

When you are happy with a company for so many years and things all of a sudden start getting bad it is time to look elsewhere.
Proscript
Anyone heard of Proscript or currently work for them.  Any input appreciated! 
ProScript
I work for them, and I LOVE this company - they are GREAT!  You won't be sorry if you accept a position with them.

Can anyone out there tell me how user friendly Proscript's platform is and if it is easy to attain your desired line count.  Any information appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi, my name is Laura also - I posted the first message, but not the second.  I was always told NOT to share my line rate info - therefore, would have said check with the recruiter.  Obviously, another Laura is giving out incorrect information.

Great company - great people!

My husband and I are both MTs. He got into ProScript on the last hiring boom which was at the end of last year. I'm in line waiting to get in with them when they have more work.

So far my husband is very happy with them. He is an employee (with benefits after 90 days, for which he just became eligible), and he can work whatever schedule he wants (M-F, T-S, etc.), as long as he maintains a full-time line count.

I worked for Proscript for 3 years, but was laid off due to not enough work. I am waiting to be called back as it has been close to three months now...I am hoping work picks up soon!!! I would hope that they call back the people they laid off before they hire new employees.

Nice travel alarm, plus looks like there are drawings this week for other stuff. Co gives out $50 prize monthly in a game as part of continuing ed.
Try ProScript...been with them for almost 2 years...sm
and have never run out of work - even during holidays. Great company to work for.
Feedback on Proscript?

Hi, again, O mighty MTs! 


I don't know where I found it, but somewhere I ran across a company called ProScript out of Florida.  Does anybody know anything about them, good or bad?  Enquiring minds want to know...


anybody working for ProScript

Anybody working for ProScript?  Could you give your opinion.  Thanks.


ProScript Outsourcing
ProScript does outsource to India !.  Please see my post under ProScript "company board".
Been working at ProScript for a while and love it...sm
Platform is very similar to Word. If you have high speed internet you could probably get 1200 lines done in 4 hours or so (I guess that depends on how fast you type, though). I don't have high speed, but software tells me my typing time and it is usually between 3-1/2 and 4 hours for me to get 1000-1200 lines done.
Proscript sent out gift cards (sm)
for dinner when we caught up a new account. Our transcription director is always writing encouraging and informative memos, though I do miss Rick's unique input.
Thank you, ProScript, for useful MT week gift (sm)

desk clock/calendar/calculator thingie, with alarm and timer.


Too bad it doesn't have a 3-minute timer button (for those who get distracted online, to limit their search time) instead of the button for the time in Karachi.  (Look it up -- I'm so confident this service will never offshore, I can laugh about it.)


Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
ProScript Documentation Services does not send work overseas or employ any overseas MTs. (nm)

ME rate 80% of baseline MT rate
are you happy with the 20% cut to do ME work or are you going to just do MT work (which will be those dictators that ASR can't do) at your baseline rate?

Employee rate/IC rate......
I work at home for a hospital account that I make .11 cpl on 60-character line. I also do IC work for a clinic where I make .14 cpl. I am from Missouri.
take a cent of their rate and a cent of your mom's rate. I'd do it to keep the account or the

You already charge a fairly low line rate, but I'd definitely cut it to keep the account.  JMO


DQS pay rate
Hold onto your hat, honey, it's bad. Real bad. I used to type 500 lph, now barely 120 lph...This depends on wether or not you're used to straight line or character count. Rememeber, your word Expander won't work, no headers, no footers, no signature line, no CC's. AND, to top it off --- you won't get paid for spaces --
my pay is now less than 1/4 and they're making me statutory w/no benefits for me or my child. Jumping ship. New job starts Monday.
Going rate
Depends on area, location, what is your experience, what kind of account, whether or not you pick up and deliver, etc.  Can vary from 10 cpl to 15 cpl.  What do you think you are worth?
Could you the rate...sm

I am one of the few that get paid per minute of dictation.  Could you tell me what your rate is and if IC or employee and what area.  Thanks. 


Pay rate?
Was there every a time that MTs got paid per word rather than line? If so, why did it change?
As an IC you should set the rate,

You will need to talk to them and tell them you need to raise your rates.  They may not be willing to accept it though. 


Welcome to the wonderful world of an IC MT.


What is the going rate

I have someone who wants me to retype a book for them.  Does anyone have any idea how much I should charge for this?  by the page?  line?  TIA!



Does anybody know what the going rate
per line is for a private account in the Philadelphila, PA area?
same rate
I do not charge extra for STAT's unless I have to make another trip to deliver it.  If I fax it over same rate applies.   I don't understand your question about charging extra if they have more minutes than usual.  Unless you have only hired on for so many minutes, then perhaps you could charge more.  My accounts have been heavier than usual this past month but I feel it all evens out for when the months are light and so I take it when I can get it.   I am a bit unusual but my accounts are good to me and I don't like to nit pick them to death with extra charges for this and that.  They work with me when I am down and cannot adhere to the 24 TAT and so if they need a STAT on a patient going to surgery I just do it and fax it over.  I have said it before and will say it again, I might bend over backwards for them sometimes (all 4 accounts) but they do the same for me so we just work together to get the job done.   When I hear the horror stories on here about how some are treated -- I just thank the Lord for my accounts.     Patti
Going rate for QA
What's the going rate for a QA person? I'm getting paid per line of QA that I do. Thanks!
7-8 cpl is the going rate.
You'd probably be better off to get your own accounts unless you are in dire need of medical benefits.  Even then from what I've read on these boards the premium is really expensive.  Good luck in your search. 
If you are IC -- you set the rate
It is hard and scary as you often wonder that they will take it away from you but you have to have confidence in yourself.  Again, I would try to figure out what I make per hour or cpl and go from there.  See how many lines you can do, and so on.  Then compare monthly salary versus production and see how you come out.  Perhaps just switching over to a gross cpl to show him that you only want him to pay you for the work that is produced no matter how long it takes will work for you.  And that alone could be a raise for you - who knows or at least let you know that what you are making is not that bad as you do get paid for when times are slow or he is off.  Production rates will not pay you for when he is off.  Show him you are putting in more hours than two years ago, producing more work, etc. and so you must raise your rates to such and such.  Good luck. 
Rate
I have 6 years of experience as an MT. Eight cents seems to be the going rate but personally I would like to see MT's with more experience being offered more like 10 cents a line.
rate
Alot of companies just pay one flat rate no matter what type of work type it is. Some companies may pay a little more for ESL's but no more for different work types. Its all the same rate.
rate of pay

$50 per recorded hour of straight (non-medical transcription).. Is this low, high, or in the ballpark?  I am so used to being paid by the line for medical transcription, this being paid by the dictated hour kind of threw me for a loop.  


 


 


 


rate
Figure out what your average line rate is per hour and charge them that. Don't sell yourself short.
rate of pay

Thank you...  The job description was rather vague, typing up conferences or interviews..  They said $50 for standard dictation and that it goes up from there for harder dictations..  I think I will pass..


 


 


Going rate
I was just wondering what the going rate is that companies are charging their clients?  Any help would be appreciated!
Going rate
I was just wondering what the going rate is for transcription per hour.  I currently work for a national company and get paid by the line, but a friend of mine wants me to do some transcription for him and I don't know what to charge.  This is not medical stuff, rather educational/training.  He doesn't want me to short-change myself, but I don't want to over charge him either.  Any ideas? 
Going rate
I work for a research company doing focus groups and I make about $100 to $120 per 60-minute tape. They are usually 2-hour focus groups, so I get about $200 to $250 for each tape. This is good pay I think, but $60 for a 1-hour group isn't all that good. Just my thoughts.
Rate of pay
I think you're being ripped off with your rate of pay! That's horrible! You can serve hamburgers for a better pay than this!
VR rate of pay
Transcend is paying 40% of our current line rate!  I can't afford that kind of pay cut!
She might get the same rate elsewhere, but

if she goes national she can't expect the same treatment.  They will be no more tapes, they will possibly have to buy new equipment, she'll become frustrated and wondered why she couldn't give, especially when terms are spelled out in the contract.


It all depends on how much this account means to you.  If you are willing to make an effort to log on by 9:30 most days, but no promises that may keep her happy and keep the $$ in your pocket, but it also might make her think she has the power and she exercised it once and you caved and she'll find something else to gripe about. 


mi pay rate
When I worked last April as an IC for a 411-bed hospital with over 400 physicians in Jackson, I made 9cpl, 10cpl if I produced a greater amount of lines, and 11cpl for weekends and holidays.
Pay Rate
Any IC's out there...have you requested a pay increase and been told the company doesn't give pay increases to IC status, just employee status?  As if the cost of living increase doesn't affect you if you are an IC?
pay rate
yes, it's beem the same rate forever.  it would take me 12 hours a day to be f/t with these platforms they use.  feeling very discouraged.
I think 12 cpl is about the going rate in most

markets, but I would say it depends on what you have to do - pick up tapes, deliver work, do reprints, etc.
