Salary range
Posted By: Unhappy Camper on 2006-12-04
In Reply to: I have a friend who did that, and the 2-year degree I don't think - sm please..
The 2-year assistant degree salary starts at around $30,000 here (the same as a beginning teacher). The PT master's degree starts at around $60,000 per year here; other areas of the country, of course, are likely to vary. I already have a bachelor's degree; I'm going for the master's, but I don't know how long the waiting list is.

$72 is not their salary, it is their salary and benefits package
including wages,insurance, retirement pension, COLA fund, etc.
Pay range here is $13 to $19 ...
depending on experience, with a 1200 minimum per day line count. Lines exceeding 12,000 per 2-week pay period are paid as an incentive bonus at a rate of 5 cents per line. VERY strict QA department, so quality does not suffer. Seasoned transcriptionists easily exceed 20,000 lines (therefore make an additional $400 for the extra 8000 lines). Combined with the benefits and being allowed to work on-site or at home, it's hard to beat hospital employment in my area.
Dollar range and thanks.. sm
Trying to stay around not more than 275,000. Would like 3 bedrooms, and 2 to 2.5 baths with an office or fourth bedroom for work. A pool would be nice. When we were there about three weeks ago all the new tracts were on lotteries or about a one year wait to build. Don't really wanna hassle with the lottery since I don't live local. How about Palm Valley? Is that a nice place? What would you say is the community with the best schools. My priority is location, schools, price, community amenities, not too far from everything so hubby does not have a monstrous commute, etc.
Thanks so much for answering, it is really nice to get opinions from people who actually live there.
I do all ER work and am in that LPH range. nm

That is a fair range...sm
I make a bit more but cover everything, not just any one thing. Hourly is the way to go to keep anyone as there is a LOT of time involved in trainng MTs, time to write feedback, etc., which I would guess you know assuming you have been doing it yourself up until now.
I have worked line rates in the past. Anything less than 0.06 you cannot make a living on unless you work 15-20 hours a day as the accounts would ALL have to have perfect dictators and your MTs seasoned on the well side to make a reasonable living in the MW.
I have looked around and the range for pay is
.60-.75 and the range to charge if you own customer is .80-.95. Sad but true :(
She has a really narrow range. sm
She also sings off key a lot. Paula has been hard on her for a reason. She shouldn't be where she is. She's very attractive and I think that has gotten her a lot of votes like a lot of the very little talent out there like jessica simpson and brittney spears, getting by on looks and not talent. If she beats Taylor, then I will lose all respect for this show.
Not sure, but they are costly; in the 300 to 400 range. If I
.werewere going to make that purchase, it certainly wouldn't be for use with transcription, but rather listening to ROCK-N-ROLL!
Do you mind if I ask what their pay range is?
Just a general range, not specific. I don't care if a company is located on Mars either if their pay rate is good and they always pay on time.
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.
Any idea the pay range?

What's your dollar range? I live not too far from there.

Foot range of motion
I think he is referring to range of motion when he says 5,0,8,0,3,8,2????
Thanks Patti-Nice to have at least a range
Nice to have at least a range as a starting point. The cpl you gave is close to what I was guessing the rate would be. Thanks for your reply!
..maybe different now. Gave a range of what pay would be. Wouldn't pin down a cpl until after
s
FT range out here is 32-40 hrs. depending on company. nm
s
Agree with 8 cpl. Look at how many ads still start in the 6 and 7cpl range. nm
s
Absolutely, near the 3200+ range daily. nm

What would you say the range of pay is for a Team Lead, editor sm
and MT? Just trying to get a feel if our pay rates are in line with the norm, too high or too low (have a feeling too low).
Working on making positive changes. Any input appreciated.
As background ... small national, 150 MTs, all work kept in U.S.A. Work types: Clinic, HIM, ortho, cardiology, radiology. All ICs, might be looking to hire employees.
With everyone complaining about companies, it can't hurt to ask what the norm is - the good norm :)
Everything else was within normal range, so I figured she misstated.

LOL, we used to go downtown to Minute Man because they had that "Radar Range" that they used S
for their apple pies. We were thrilled at the notion. Nobody had ever heard of a microwave before.
The biggest treat to us was getting to go out for a burger, the Radar Range was just a bonus!
What is the going hourly rate (range) for QA these days. (sm)
nm
Give them a range. That's what they do when someone asks what the job pays. SM
Just think about what you are willing to work for and go from there. Or you can just be honest and tell them flat out what you expect. I did that with the full-time job I have. I decided that if I were going to go back to being an employee, I was just going to be totally honest about what I wanted. They pay hourly where I'm at. When the HR girl made the offer, I countered and told her what I had hoped to make. And in the end, I got it which was pretty exciting. Just be professional and honest.
Hourly QA seems to range $13-18/hr. with rare few making
s
I agree...$1 per minute is at the lower range...
nm
price range per line to do your own account...sm
I have a friend who is contemplating starting her own accounts. She is questionable as to what is charged per line? Is 15 cpl reasonable? Do any of you know what the big companies charge per line?
I would think acute care covers wider range
But I'm not sure myself. Would also cover OP notes more extensively and ER reports. Maybe someone will tell us both!
The going rate to charge a client for rad by an MTSO is in the $4.50 range.
Need to figure in what type of reports, etc. Never go below that - there is a lot of administrative work to do.
Incredibly it is. Check other jobs on mtjobs.com. A few are in the 9-10 cpl range. nm

Korea just fired 2 short-range missles
(that could hit Japan) and have another long-range (that could reach USA) on their launch pad. Flexing their muscles....
The range is .70 for Powerscribe editing to 1.40 for regular transcription. sm
I did a lot of research on this last year and again this past June, and that seems to be the norm.
0.70 - 0.90 for Powerscribe editing.
1.10 - 1.40 for regular radiology transcription.
I put together rates from 12 different companies, big and small, radiology only, to come up with these.

salary
60,000+ last year
salary
Two years go, I made $67,000.00. Last year approximately $40,000.00 but I had an illness to deal with and Im still dealing with it, so probably this year, the best I will make is $25,000.00. However, Im feeling stronger, my illness is getting under control so Im aiming for next year at least $50,000.00.
salary
@.10/line I average $45,000 to 53,000 depending on how many days per week I work.
Salary
I charge $60 per audio hour or $1 per minute for my general transcription work and understand this to be the going rate. There is plenty of work out there but it is not easy to find. I am currently enrolled in a good MT program, but am going to keep doing my general work on the side even after I get work as an MT, because it really concerns me that some MTSOs hire people whom they do not fully employ. It seems like a lot of MTs post here and elsewhere that they don't get enough work to do. How can anyone project their income if they don't know if they will get any work to do or not?
salary
Worked in rural hospital at low end of #1 for 6 six years.
MT salary
What is the average salary of someone starting out being a MT, and what type of raises do you get. Is it a good career for someone young to get into?
MT salary
Greeting everyone!
There was a recent post form someone inquiring about salary etc. Many replied you may even start below minimum wage. I can confirm that because that is what I am making. I am not complaining........few expenses involved and my family situation forces me to be home, which I am blessed to be able to do. The company I am with has also been great up until this point but now getting stricter. (Do not blame them.)
How long does it usually take to get up to say 150 lph? On pirmary account dictators are the same. On secondary acoout you may get dermatology, ortho, psych, neuro, OB etc. Enjoy the variety but hard to develop speed.
Thanks for any and all advice!
My salary PT...
I work 7 days a week... part time during the week and full time/on call on the weekends. At that I make about $400 every two weeks from my job during the week and $200 a weekend from the hospital I cover for. So about $1600 a month I guess.
I signed on part time because I plan on going back to school in January and I wasn't sure if they would let me drop down to PT if I started FT. Plus I can always work more if needed to make extra, just no benefits. But hopefully hubby will hear good news next week and we will get state benefits and I can go to the doctor finally! :-D
If I worked FT at my company I would probably make around $700 every two weeks so that would be $2200 a month with the other place. Hope this helps!
(I thank God that I live in an area that is dirt cheap for mortgage, etc!)
Salary ... sm
The point of a salaried position is to compensate for a job that does have a fair amount of extended hours. The salary takes into account a certain amount of overtime - that is why salaries are usually higher than what you would make with just an hourly wage or production rate.
At the same time, you'll also be paid that same amount even if you just work 8 hours a day.
No doubt, you will have some longer workweeks. However, having worked on salary, it is a nice relief to know exactly how much will be in the bank every single time.
If you really are not wanting to work more than 8 hours a day, you'll be quickly looking for another job.
Salary
How does anyone expect a person to survive on $20,000 a year (rent, food, utilities, etc.), not to mention if you are head of household with children? This is really shameful. It is almost as though they are trying to force American Transcriptionist out of the market.
and we do pay their salary so who needs their approval. They need ours.
I would love to subject managers/supervisors to QA and have their salary based upon their performance. Which begs the question, what do supervisors do all day but generate e-mails? We do the hard work to bring money into the company so a supervisor can e-mail us and what else?
are you paid salary?
nm
isn't salary taboo to ask someone
x
salary taboo?
Most people on this board are using an alias. If you post your annual salary -nobody knows who you are. People are all over this board bashing transcription companies and naming names, yet when you ask for salary info they have nothing to say.
Yeah right, on this salary? :)
I wish.
The beginning salary for (sm)
a GS-0640-5 is $24677. Top end at that grade is $32084. Some localities have a higher pay scale, depending on the local economy. It's likely there will be no chance of promotion unless your supervisor quits, retires, or dies and you happen to be selected for the position. You must work to age 65 or 20 years of service, which ever comes later. Search

for all federal job postings. If you decide to apply for a govt job, be sure to read the qualifications for the position. When you write your resume, use the exact terminology (keywords) as the job description. Some clerk who has never transcribed anything in her life will be the one to look at your resume and decide if you are qualified. The only thing she has to go on is the qualifications listed for the position. When you fill out your paperwork for your security clearance, do not lie about anything. They don't care what you've done in the past, they are looking for any secrets you might have. If you have secrets you can be blackmailed!
They want to deduct your salary from their
business expenses - so if they have NOT paid you, do not cooperate. Send them a registered letter stating simply the total $ owed, and enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for their convenience - ha - and hold out signing any forms until YOU GET PAID!! What nerve they have!
50K is the US average salary...nm

That's a decent salary.
