Per Study rate

I've been offered an opportunity to charge per study, as opposed to per diem/hourly/salary. Has anyone ever heard of this? If so, what are the typical per study fees that people charge?

A few years back I worked a side job that was great!! I was paid $35 a patient and I could do 16-23 patients a day at this outpatient facility. I became good at talking claustrophobic patients into getting their study done. Being paid per patient makes you better at getting them in scanner:) I had been a ARRT MRI technologist for 15 years back then with a background in Xray. It depends on your training. Pay is much lower if only MRI tech. A couple times patients to our(secretary and me) surprise were actually scheduled for Xrays also (script)so of course I did their xrays to and the facility loved that

If you are just licensed in MRI you should make $12-14 an hour. $18-19 per patient

More nonsense from "Christian" (Kira) lol....like it or not..MRI is headed in the same direction as nuclear medicine and ultrasound.....as a separate modality NOT requiring x-xay.

Hey everyone take Dallas's opinion and go with it, you can blame that misinformed person for your inability to get a job while others went the high road. Finally ARRT has put out long overdue requirement that takes affect Jan 2015 if not sooner. Technologist will need a minimum of a A.S. Degree in their field as 90% of Programs already require.

A) As usual, you are mistaken. ARRT techs will be required to have an associates degree. It DOES NOT have to be " in their field". It DOES NOT have to be an "A.S." degree. Techs will have the option of attending a certifcate program, so long as it is combined with ANY associates degree. ie A.A.S. A.S. A.A. Want me to cut and paste the actual requirement word for word, so that everybody can see what an idiot you are?

B) Techs only certified in MRI can get an assocites degree also..this has nothing to do with being certified in x-ray or not.

C) Techs graduating before the new policy takes place are not subject to it.

Actually, I just know that the current wording says the degree does not have to be in radiological technology for those who attend a certificate/hospital based program. Those people will either have to already have an associates in something before applying to the program, or obtain one afterwards. I am actually not sure about the A.S. vs A.A.S. vs. A.A. or whatever other initials you want to use....there are all kinds of degrees available out there.
