Fresh out of school 13 years ago I made 8 cents gross/clinic/no ESL
x
Thirteen years here, and my answer is absolutely not.
gross/straight
what is the difference between the two when charging a physician. thank you for your help!
How much is 6 cents per gross line? nm
nm
OMG 12 cents gross line.. do they need help?
that would absolutely smoke a 65-character line count by probably 30% depending on what you were typing ... oooh numbering meds, PMH and PSH.
Sweet. Where do I sign up?
14 cents gross line, no less! nm
ss
Being paid 11 cents on GROSS line is what helps here, plus
Work my buns off for 50 hours a week! Get a grip, people. It IS possible with the right pay, overall good accounts, and working hard.
make $20 an hour plus 4 cents gross line
nm
what is the .065 cents per gross line equivalent to in 65 character lines?
Would it be about 8 cpl 65 characters or higher?
Not getting back - how much we made gross for the year. nm

I charged by the gross line and made more money that way.
Even if you only made 6 cents a line, that's 12.00 an hour at 200 lph.

Made 11-12 cents a line working for a service in 1989
sucks
Made 60K last year working 50 hours a week being paid on gross line
nm
I have made a decision. I am going to drive the school bus.
If the best an in-house position can offer is $12 an hour, I might as well make $12 an hour and NOT cripple my hands any further. I will just type part time on the side. Maybe that will pay the bills. This profession has gone down the tubes and I am getting out.
Oh my gosh. Went to Rolling Stones about 8 years ago (I'm 55 and as straight as they come). SM
We jumped up and down and hollered and smoked pot and just went crazy. It was so much fun!
$.06 gross line / .70 = approximately $.0857 cents per 65 character line.
A gross line is anything on a line versus 65 gross characters per net line the other way. You make more money working for the gross line than for the 65 gross character line, as long as the line rate's OK.
Just over 8 years. Orthopedics, ER, clinic. nm

I took A&P/terminology course through my clinic 16 years ago

IC Clinic average pay 3 years ago . . .
I started at 9 cpl 3 years ago on a clinic/psychology account (one account) for a local hospital with only 3 months experience, but I also worked full-time as an employee for that hospital during the day and the IC stuff was at night when they needed extra coverage.
16 years, 1 radiology, 7 clinic, 8 acute
.
7 years clinic experience and cannot land a job
Any suggestions?? I have 7 years clinic experience and am looking for work. Seems like I cannot get a response back to test or interview. I need a company that offers TAT, not set hours. I send in resumes and cover letters daily...What else could I do???
Also, in the meantime does anyone have suggestions on "practice files". I want to expand my skills/specialties. I have not done radiology and have always wanted to get into it...Thanks for any advice!
10+ years of clinic and acute experience.
Multiple specialties. No training needed. I haven't been able to find a job in six months. The last place I worked lost the account when the clinic outsourced to a different company with VR. So I've been babysitting to put food on the table. They're shutting off my water and heat next week. Walmart won't even hire me.

POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
I was getting $3 a page 12 years ago. But $2 might not be bad for VERY short clinic notes.
Whew! I just left clinic notes after 4 years..sm.
and got back into acute care. My momentum is back and I feel like I'm part of the medical process again. I guess I just like acute care better. I can never go back to clinic notes. I can't deal with those 20-second charts. Took me longer to get in the chart than to type it. The company I WAS with had such a screwed up demo screen if you made 1 mistake you got put on probation. Just toooooo much for me.
IMO, that is.
Well I don't know anything with all my years experience because I only transcribe clinic work ..
Other than that, I see quite a few replies to your original message so hmmm
After working 2 years, I average 220-250 lph for clinic work.

About 4 years ago, it was anywhere around 99 cents to 1.09...now it is 2.41 (could be higher today)
it changes every day - up, up, and away!
Picked up tapes for years for a clinic. Finally splurged
Drs wanted to try the phone system so I found a used one and it's much easier. Still drop off printed reports but have dictation instantly, especially nice for stat reports. Don't have to wait to pick up tapes anymore. I could see some of my older clients never moving away from tapes, but if you have one that's receptive to it, you might give it a shot. With gas prices now, it's easier to have a few scheduled dropoff days a week and you can always fax urgent documents to staff. I find that the local drs are usually quite loyal to good MTs so that is nice job security. They like the personal touch from someone they trust, not some big chain. My clients even offered to pay for phone system but I bought it so I could write it off.
I make 0.725 cents per line after 5 years with the same company - nm

12 cents line enjoy it. makin less now than 10 years ago
MTs used to be able to make $. Right now I make less than I ever had. Glad I make 9 cpl. Don't expect raises. Been there along with your mom. OUTSOURCED. Right now I pay over $500 month for benefits - single mom. Cost of living is a joke. Go with the flow and grab your 12 cpl while you can, don't be shocked by a reduction, hope it never happens to you but it has to me.
I have forty plus years experience and was offered 7 cents.
Of course, I told them to go jump. I just retired and stayed home.
3-1/2 years experience, type cardio only on clinic account, and make 9 cpl nm

Made more 10 years ago
Better dictators back then and the company/facility you worked for didn't give with one hand and take with the other.
Ive been doing this for 4 years and made
37,000 in 2008...A lot of hard work though to get that.
How many MTs made more per line 10 years
nm
made more money 15 years ago than I do now. nm.

Like I am saying, what I made years ago and what I make now
sooooooo much different. I do not have to raise a family though now and my quest towards making money is not like it was at 1 time. IF I HAD TO support a family, I definitely would not go into this business now or I would plan on working as I did in the past, 2 full time jobs, then I could make ends meet. I am so glad money is not the #1 thing anymore that drives me.
15 years ago I made 75 thousand
a year, but not anymore. To do that, I had a very good paying FT job, and a home business. I worked 7 days a week, sometimes 12 hour days. Now I just work regular, and sometimes PT. I doubt I could make that again unless I want to be a workaholic.
Yes. I made that my first couple of years.
Now it's at least twice that when I'm lucky enough to have a half-decent account. (Those are getting fewer and farther between.)
Waited 6 years to buy one could have made
and now I can't imagine living without it. I took a job recently and I could not use Smartype on their program, they had an Expander but with nothing in it LOL and I thought I was going to die!!! Get one...it is NOT faster typing it.
Has anyone ever considered going to med school after years of MT or
xx
I had 2 years of school for medical
records as they called it then with a semester in transcription. I transcribed office notes for a PT part time while in school and applied for FT in the hospital where my PT worked and basically "trained" on the job. However, this was 27 years ago and they did train you inhouse, and we were on typewriters.
You're okay making LESS than you made 10-20 years ago?
I'm not. No, every "job" doesn't work itself DOWN the ladder of success. I'm working to earn a living, I'm working to have goals, to better myself and my way of life. I would never settle for a job that keeps paying less and less. Sorry, but I disagree with you but to each his own.
Same for me, I made more 10 years ago. It depends so much on account, SM
work type(for me), and expanders. I find it hard to stay motivated when report after report is ESL and a work type I can't make money on. The above poster likes radiology, I like OPs. It is easier to stay motivated when you have that.
I've been at it for 30+ years. 'Back in the day', I too made
about $42,000/year (gross). But the accounts keep getting crappier, and the pay keeps going lower. Meanwhile, I saw gas a $4.10/gallon on the interstate Sunday evening, and I'm slowly becoming a forced vegetarian because I can no longer afford to buy meat or fish.
Meanwhile, the suits at the big hospitals that whine about a 1-cpl increase in the cost of MT have six-(and some seven)-figure incomes.
PA's go to school for 5-6 years, longer than RN and are trained
in medicine. Some PA's specialize in the operating room, orthopedics, family medicine, neurosurgery, etc. They do rounds for physicians in the hospital and can write prescriptions. PAs can make up into the mid 100K range in salary and sometimes more.
MA pretty much is a 6-month to 1 year certificate program to work in a doctors office doing vital signs, blood work and paperwork. Nothing major and not a great salary.
They (AAMT) made the rules for years until the internet
and those of us who had been isolated in the past got to know each other on line. We started to discuss this and other issues, and figured out that AAMT is a bunch of bottom feeding scheisters ripping us off while enjoying themselves in Hawaii at their "convention" most likely being paid for at least in part by the dues, fees, and other drummed up charges for useless crap they've gotten out of us before we figured out what a huge money-grubbing hoax their "organization" is.
I haven't made that kind of rate for at least 20 years
Don't know where you live. In my area, that is not good money at all.
