I do part-time work for an insurance company doing their basic claim tapes. I charge by the page $3.00. I would also imagine it would depend on the going rate in your area.

I paid medical insurance claims
for about 17 years, so while this did help me tremendously with the terminology, etc., I don't think there is any way you can do this without the proper training. I knew a lot about the medical field, but it still doesn't compare to what you learn when schooling to be an MT
Medware Insurance
I was wondering if they offer medical benefits and if they are reasonable. I am a Diskriter employee and really love it here but our insurance is going up soon.
Insurance interviews??
Before you go any farther, you need to ask some questions. If it is transcribing the actual intake interview -- do they double space, 1.5 space, do you indent over for the answer making the line shorter -- If it is transcrining the actual interview sometimes these are not as easy as you think and I would never do $3 a page unless it was double spaced and a 12 font. If it single spaced, small font you can get up to 50 to 60 lines on a page and that would equal 0.4 to 6 cpl. I have done these, I have done court recordings, land use meetings, seminars and it sounds pretty easy but sometimes they are not. Again, ask some questions as to what you will exactly be typing. If it is the actual intake interview that can be an hour or longer at times, it can often be held in areas where the sound is very poor. I am not saying don't do it but ask some questions before you decide what to charge. Just my 2 cents worth.
Small claims court (sm)
You should be able to take her to small claims court. If you have proof that she owes you, it's a fairly straightforward process.
You shouldn't need a lawyer.
TRSI claims to hire you...
after graduation at their own company but that is a crock. They forget to say, "IF you pass our test" and then find a reason why you didn't pass. So they took your money and leave you without a job, which is what happened to me.
Yes it is all it claims to be. Upon graduation, I received info for least 50 companies that

I do know at least 1 disreputable school that claims grads are CMTs
I do know at least 1 disreputable school that claims grads are CMTs. The only way you can take the CMT exam is through AAMT though. Any school that says you can put your name, MT or your name CMT after you finish is either dishonest or doesn't know better, in my opinion. Either way, it's not a good way to get your education. Go to someone who knows enough about the profession and is honest enough to tell you the truth.
I do both coding and MT work. I'd definitely say to go with coding/insurance billing
The way the medical transcription profession is going, you'll best be served by doing insurance billing with a coding certificate than doing transcription. There will always be a need for billers and coders. JMO.. and I make more money billing with the way our cpl are going down.
