Medical Transcription - A Beginners Guide 

If you are looking to do some type of typing from home,
Medical Transcription might be of interest to you.  This
article will reveal to you the steps you need to take in order to
do Medical Transcription from home.

Medical Transcription is a process by which an individual learns
how to type or transcribe quickly, doctors notes or other items
that will be discussed in a moment. It does involve receiving the
dictated reports via a digital system, tape or voice mail.  It is
very important to have the right equipment for this job.  You will
need a good transcriber, the use of ear phones and a foot pedal for
start-stop control.  It’s also important to have a good word
processing program. Some types of dictation you may be performing
are office notes, history files, discharge summaries, letters to
other physicians, radiology reports and pathology reports and many
more items. Once you have transcribed the necessary notes on typing

paper, you will then return them to the physician for payment. 

There are many online correspondence courses available for you to
learn Medical Transcription from home.  Taking a home study course
may be the best opportunity for you while you are working or taking
care of your children.  After passing your online course, most employers
require that you have at least 2 years of service under your belt
before you plan on working from home.  You may want to contact a local
physician in your area to do work for them.  The going rate for working
as an employee can be anywhere from $8 - 12 per hour.  As an independent
contractor, physicians will usually pay you 6-14 cents per line.  It depends in

what area of the country you want to work in.

Becoming a Medical Transcriptionist can be a very rewarding job
especially if once you have done the required 2 years experience,
you can pick up many of your clients and work from home.
