Home transcription parttime

I have 20+ years of experience doing medical transcription, including inpatient and outpatient clinic notes. I have now partially retired but would like to do transcription at home, online preferred. I am finding that the earnings are fairly meager for doing home based transcription for large services. Therefore, I am interested in marketing my experience and skills to small primary health care organizations or specialty practices, but have to keep my hours as part-time. I would appreciate suggestions about how I might accomplish this.

Although the above ad was not generated by myself and I don't fully understand its origin,it is essentially correct in content except for a couple of points. I have never lived in Huntington, VT, and I will only do transcription out of my home office, online or tapes. Please make these corrections.

Thank you.

I am an RN and have recently graduated from At-Home Professions Medical Transcriptionist Course and am having difficulty in finding a part time postions working from home. It seems that most places want you to pay them to put out lists of postitions available. They don't take into account that I have been an RN, mostly hospital based in OB/GYN for 30 years. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at kbrzuch@buckeye-express.com

Would it make a different if you have a diploma or certificate for MT?

Hi,
Most of the jobs for MT that I have researched require a certificate. I have seen none asking for a diploma. Hope this helps.

In order to gain a certificate, as in Certified Medical Transciptionits (CMT), you need two years experience before you can even test to become a CMT. A certificate from a school is essentially same as a diploma.

I didn't realize that when a school tells you that you would that there certificate course that it wasn't really a certificate. Thank you for the info. Rene

I would appreciate any help in finding a part-time medical transcriptionist position, with flexible hours, and the ability to stay at home while I work and raise my children.

Yes, I am still seeking employment. I have not been pushing it too much this summer because I am so busy, but starting in August, I will be pushing for a position like crazy. Do you have something or some employment agency in mind? Kahry

Hello,
I am winding up a medical transcription course with Penn Foster College and would like to do at home transcribing. Is there anyone hiring at the entry level? I have also been a LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) for 8 yrs. Sevral years ago I transcribed for an attorney. I enjoyed transcribing and am looking forward to a career in medical transcription. Thank you Susan

Hi there,
I need some guide here. I have an associates in Admin Medical Assistant and enjoyed transcribing. I had transcribed during my intership but at that time only 10-15hrs were offered and I really needed a FT pos. Twenty years gone by and now I've come to the conclusion I've been missing on something and that is how much I had enjoyed transcribing and desire so much to a home-based career in MT. Anyway, I was wondering if I would have to take another course again? Also, has anyone her of Transam Associates, they so call train you free. (maybe so I can refresh) I don't know where to begin. I'm not getting any younger :) Plz help

Hi, You probably should go to the Medical Transcriptionist Site and see what schools are endorsed by them if you decide to take classes from home. You also can get a book published by the Medical Transcriptionist Association and after reading up on transcription, try hospitals, doctors offices, and look in the phone book for transcription services and get a resume together and contact them to see if they could use your services. Good luck!!!!!

Lynn: Trans Am is better known as Transcam. They will charge you $500 and promise a job upon meeting their requirements. Yo never will meet them, no one does. Check out the Better Business Bureau website and u will find all nothing but negativity. Do not give them money it is a waste of your time and money.

Also, you will probably need a refresher if you have not done it in 20 years. MT is not an easy field to get in to without the proper, current MT training. Good luck

Hi, I have been transcribing for 9 years in a small town but never received a certificate. I have a multitude of experience including hospital surgeries, admissions, discharges, opthalmology, and mainly chiropractic, which is all that I do now. I'm looking for full time work over the net. Should I take an MT course, or would someone give me a chance? I have references. Thanks.

Ever read the papers? People are losing their homes here, I think outsourcing is a disgusting practice.

I agree Joy. Why should Americans work to cushion the pockets of companies in India or other countries. Americans work for/in America.

Give it a try, you never know what you will come up with. Doctor's offices and clinics may give you a try especially since you have references.

Ok. Thank you for answering. Can you recommend a place to start on the web?

Hi, do you work at home? Im in Lakeworth.

Yes, I have worked off and on for the last 10 years at home for different doctors in my small town of Perry, 50 miles S of Tallahassee. Right now, there is not a lot of work and I am looking for something on line. Do you know of anything?
