At the time I accepted the job at Med-Scribe, I had also been offered a position in-house at a hospital for a flat hourly rate. I decided to take the job at Med-Scribe as I would have had to relocate for the other job. After getting my feet wet with the accounts, I am making more money than I would have at the hourly rate which, by the way, was generous. Med-Scribe offers production bonuses which are fairly easily met by an experienced transcriptionist, as well as overtime pay which I personally have received on almost every paycheck by going over my 8 hours a day just finishing jobs at the end of the day. Taking into account saving money on gas, wear and tear on a vehicle, wardrobe, food, days when it is possible to work from home but not go public with an illness, and daycare if applicable (even for a child's illness), production rate-based income is yours for the taking.
From the time I have been employed, I have found the staff at Med-Scribe to always be accessible and willing to help. I have even had a supervisor answer her cell phone while in her car, out of state, on her way to her child's wedding. In speaking with anyone at this company, I appreciate their emphasis on the positive and there is no hesitation to express their appreciation.
I have been a medical transcriptionist for 23 years. This trade has changed throughout the years, as have most trades. While change can be difficult, there is an advantage to having control over your own outcome. As an employee working from home, Med-Scribe gives the best of both worlds.
