  • Good Line Rates
  • Phone Reimbursement where LD is necessary

We start experienced, qualified transcriptionists at line rates that are competitive with today's rates, based upon upon full or part time status, based on volume, worktype, and weekends,  a 65-character line, headers and footers included, provided you meet your daily commitment. Raises can be awarded, based on worktype, volume, consistency, and quality of work.  Our rates of pay translate to very good hourly rates, which is the bottom line for MTs.  We provide QA/proofing support for all work for the first five days, and continuous support for occasional questions and blanks, with feedback provided. However, as experienced MTs, work must stand alone with only occasional questions and blanks in order to remain at an experienced line rate.

We have internet -based accounts with acute care and specialty practice work, as well as voice system work, such as Lanier and Dictaphone.  Both the proprietary Word-based software we use for some transcription as well as our internet platform, provide a very high rate of production for experienced MTs. 

We feel our line rates are competitive and fair. We consistently revise our MT program to provide the most productivity possible. Our rewards are paid every two weeks, in each paycheck, so that the benefits of doing extra work are realized immediately.   We feel that looking at how much you can make an hour on our platforms should determine the benefits of working for Phoenix , not the line rate of one company versus another. Whether or not you can make a fair and/ or significant rate per hour on our programs should be the deciding factor.

If the account you are transcribing has an 800 line and/or internet access, there will be no phone costs incurred. If, however, the number is a dial up number, we will reimburse all flat rate phone plans each month. We have information on many telecom carriers that can save you money and we will be happy to send that information on to you after testing.

With Phoenix , you only type the reports. The program automatically generates the log as you type, and it also counts your lines. Communication with our main office is minimal and usually via e-mail so your production isn’t interrupted. Completed reports are also sent via FTP, so there are no transmission costs. There is no requirement for faxing back and forth from the office. It’s a nice, clean system, allowing you to simply transcribe and we do the clerical.

If a Lanier system or Dictaphone system is required, Phoenix has them available.

We realize that as ICs, you set your own hours. However, we have commitments to our clients that must be met contractually, so the ICs with whom we contract work within our client's requirements. On most accounts, MTs have a full 24 hours to complete their commitment. If work is due in the late afternoon, you have the next 24 hours to complete the next day's work commitment.  We require 600 lines/day, but that can be done throughout the 24-hour period; they don't have to be consecutive hours, but they must be transcribed by the client's required 'cut off' time.  (For example, 600 lines due in Monday at 5 p.m., and another 600 lines due in by 5 p.m. on Tuesday).  At times, we also accept a lower line commitment for internet doctor specialty work of 400 lines per day.

Direct Deposit is offered free of charge, and will begin at the start of the third pay period.

All our MTs are Independent Contractors, and we provide tips on tax situations for anyone just starting out as an IC. There are many advantages to working this way, and we try to help each MT realize those advantages. For more information, please contact HR@phoenixmedcom.com
