Medical Transcription at Home - How Much Money Could I Possibly
Make Doing Medical Transcription? By Regina Reeves Are you one
of the many people who would like to get out of the rat race and
find a work-at-home job? With gas pricing going up more and more,
there are lots of folks in your shoes.
A great job you can do from your home is medical transcription,
and you may have already discovered this and have done some research
online too.But even though you'd be at home, saving money on gas,
saving wear and tear on the car, saving money on your professional
wardrobe, just how much money can you expect to be making from
this job?Good question! Since I've been a medical transcriptionist
myself since 1995
I also know lots of others who work in this field, I feel I am
qualified to answer that for you. I've made anywhere from about
$10.00 an hour to $35.00 to $40.00 an hour over the years. When
I first started, I was put on an hourly rate until I became accustomed
to the doctors and hospitals that my company contracted with.
That was great because it gave me a chance to get familiar with
everything and start typing charts faster. After about 2 weeks
they switched me over to my regular pay which was 8 cents a line
(a line is generally 65 characters including spaces but that could
vary).
My company had an incentive plan where, if you typed a certain
number of lines per pay period, you received a bonus. So you could
actually make up to 10 cents a line if you were motivated.The
bottom line is that for many years I made between 45k to 50k a
year working 32 hours a week. Two of my fellow employees who were
friends of mine made more than I did because they worked more
hours (40).These days I am working less hours and making about
35k at home, 3 days a week.Now, I want to mention that this is
not the salary everyone will make. It depends on how fast you
type and what company or doctor you are working for. Some employers
do offer incentives like I mentioned and some do not. But since
you know there are plenty who do, try and find that type of company
when you go on your job search.I've never personally worked for
an individual doctor
