Should be 4.25 cpl because it is half your line rate if you do editing.
But, then, you are only part time because you have stated before you work full time at a hospital because you make more money.
re: Should be 4.25 cpl because it is half your line rate if you do editing.
My, my you have an excellent memory. I am at work right now.
Nothing. Never take line rate for editing. Take hourly only.
You will never make any money by the line editing if you are doing true editing.
Are you getting a good editing rate?
I have to ask because your post demonstrates something about this industry that really irks me.
Most companies are charging 1-2 cpl for editing. At 400 lph, that is $8/hour max. Meanwhile, even if you were making a bottom of the barrel transcription rate, 6 cpl, you would still be making $12/hour for 200 lines.
The rates these companies are paying for editing just doesn't add up.
yes, I get a good editing rate....nm
Is $15 an hour a good hourly rate for an in-house office position?

What is a good per line rate?
Have not worked in a while. Interview today in an hour.
what is a good line pay rate
I just got hired on for .0975 cpl which is pretty good I think in today's market. I also get paid for spaces, headers and footers but the characters per line is 74. All in all, I thought this was pretty good but I do have 15 years experience. Also, there is incentive pay as well as bonuses for typing 1000 lines per day. I think I have done pretty well but will have to get started to see first.
OK, so what IS a good line rate

What is considered a good line rate...sm

Is 9.5 cents per line a good rate using Meditech?
This is for a radiology account. TIA
An excellent platform and a good line rate with plenty of work -
Then leave me alone and let me do my thing! :-)
The line rate sounds pretty good compared to other places - by "punch the clock", you mean
it really is not a flexible schedule, even for an IC? That's what I need the most.
Plz write to addy in msg for editing position

Rate for Editing
Hi everyone,
I am trying to get an average rate for a part-time editing position.
Q&A, editing - what is current pay rate for this?
nm
Per minute editing/proofing rate
Can anyone give me some good numbers here? For editing, if you are paid by the minute of dictation, what would be a high and low pay rate per minute? Thanks for any help on this!
Gross line, also including blank lines because my line rate is so low. It all works out in the wash.

If a company I apply with has VR, what sort of editing rate is fair?
Most fill-in-the-blank editing rates are around 4 cpl. What are the usual going rates for 100% straight editing VR?
1) do you have a contract stating line counting and line rate,sm
if you look at the IRS website it's pretty clear what constitutes IC versus SE versus employee. You might want to photocopy that along with a copy of your contract with your next invoice and also put on the invoice any monies due from past invoices they "changed"...maybe catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Good luck!
That still is not a paid line rate. If your base is $0.10 per line, it will be $0.08 cpl.
Considering other companies pay 4 or 5 cents per line for VR - you are still making out.
is that a good lucrative position or just fun?
it's kind of like scrapbooking isn't it? like cherished memories?
Offered a position paying 9 cents per 65 line without spaces with headers and footers.
Is this a good deal?
I would go with the line rate. At less than 9.5 cents per line sm
I make $30 an hour. I would never transcribe for $15 an hour, for anyone.
What is the average pay per line for VR editing? nm
?
@850 lph editing @ 0.0425/line sm
and @355 lph transcribing @0.085/line. I'm not a fast typist but use an expander, am very familiar with the acute care account, and put out high-quality work.
Editing Line Rates
I've looked through several old threads on this board about eScription/EditScript and have seen those who love it and those who don't. I may be moving to an account that utilizes this platform and am trying to see how my earnings might be impacted. I understand there will be a learning curve, but I anticipate getting "up to speed" quickly as I have always been fairly good at learning new technology. What is the average line rate I can expect using EditScript software? I've seen rates quoted from between 3 cpl up to 5 cpl. Is that right? Is anyone making more than 5 cpl editing?
What is the average line count for editing I can expect (hope) to achieve? I've seen some say 300+/- lph and others who can do 600 or more lph. What is the highest sustained lines per hour one can expect when editing, if utilizing all the keyboard shortcuts, etc., available?
Thanks for your input.
Editing at cents per line
Hello,
I have been coming across QA/Editor positions paying 1 to 3 cents per line. How much can an experienced medical transcriptionist expect to earn at this pay rate in a given month.
Thanks.

Poll on editing line requirements
I would like to know your line requirements per shift. Please indicate whether this is production based on hourly or based on cpl. Thanks!
Good luck. In the same position and finding nada. nm

a year. After I clean it good I turn it upside down on a towel for a day and then I position it
the heat/air conditioning register so it gets good and dry for about 2 days. If you don't let it dry good it won't work very well. I've been washing mine about 2 years.
How do I know what the line rate is, since it is the co's

Line rate - sm
If you do 250 lines per hour at 8 cpl, you would make $20. If you did 300 lines per hour, you would make $24. The platform and many other factors would determine how many lines per hour you could do. I would not expect to be offered much more than 8 cpl for radiology, if that. Good luck.
line rate P.S. - sm
I'm referring to employee status, not IC. You could probably get a little more per line being IC, but I'm not into IC status, so can't say for sure.
Rad line rate - sm
Depends on IC or employee...if employee, you'll be lucky to find 8 cpl, probably 7-7.5 cpl is average. Don't know about IC, but seems they don't offer much more than that anymore. Experience doesn't seem to play much of a role anymore either...seems they offer the same no matter how long you've been doing it. Good luck.
line rate
I agree with Patti. I also work at home and get many distractions but also have accounts that I make around $35 an hour. There is no way I could accurately log in and out on a time card and would also lose money. I am very accurate, as I proofread everything. I like the line rate but agree that companies should pay a higher line rate to more experienced transcriptionists and should be more concerned with accuracy than they are.
line rate
does anyone know what Spheris pays per line or what the going rate is per line.
Is the line rate enough to
make ends meet? Do you have backup work in case their volume drops? Do you have the flexibility you need? These are all questions I would consider before doing IC.
Line rate
In my opinion, 9 to 10 cpl for clinic, 10 to 12 cpl for acute care. These should even be higher if you have your own accounts (no middle man). But like some said below, it all depends on the account and also the way the lines are counted. I have over 12 years experience in all specialties and in acute care, and I have worked for 8 cpl as an IC and made more per hour than working for 11 cpl doing acute care. The 8 cpl was all by templates and I could make many, many normals, averaging about 400+ lines per hour, plus it was easy work.
Ask specific questions about the work, what kind of account, how many doctors, etc. That in my opinion is more important.

Oh boy, now I see a line rate advertised to the "buyer" for 7.9 cents. What are they paying their transcriptionists -- 5 cents?

Hello. I am applying for an MT job and I have 21 yrs of expereince. They want to pay me 8 cents/line. Is that the going rate? It seems it should be more since I started 21 years ago getting 7 cents/line.
LINE RATE
I AM THINKING THE SAME, I SENT A TON OF RESUMES ON MTJOBS WHO DO YOU WORK FOR OR IS THAT ON YOUR OWN?
line rate
i live in long island. new york!!!!!!!
line rate
i am doing it more from boredom as i have my own accounts also that don't take much time and is not productive enough for what i am used to. it seems like it should be more to me too.

I think it is pretty common knowledge what the average line rate is for nationals, etc. Does anyone know what the national gets paid by the line? I'm wondering because I may have the opportunity to work directly for a hospital without having to go through the middle man. Keeping my fingers crossed. I don't think they have much of a clue of what to charge either so I thought I would just see what an average might be? Thanks.
line rate
that is pretty low to start. Are you brandnew in the field? If no experience, it might be worth it just to gain some.
line rate
I think going by gross line is a good way to go.
line rate
I make 8-9 cpl per gross line, and that is with a middle man, so the docs are paying 12-13 cpl per gross line.
Location is definitely a factor in pricing, but in my case, one MTSO is across the country from me and the other is local. I think that is definitely a low rate for direct office contact.
Line rate
I would like to get my own accounts with doctors but I don't know what to charge. How do I figure out what to charge. Does it matter where I live and what specialties I do?
