A
Medical Transcription At Home Career
by
Michele Miller
As a medical
transcriptionist, I get asked several times a month how I
got started in this business. So many people nowadays want
to work from home, especially mothers with young children.
That's the primary reason I started
my home business ten years ago, so I could be there for my
daughter. I didn't want someone else taking care of her after
school instead of me.
It's
really not hard to start a medical transcription business.
The start-up costs are low compared to many other home-based
businesses.
You
need a form of education, via home study courses or by attending
your local community college. You do NOT need a degree in
medical transcription to start a business either. In a short
amount of time, usually nine months or less, you can be
working from the comfort of your own home, just like me.
You
will need some equipment, such as a computer, a printer,
a transcriber, and some reference books. All of which can
be purchased second hand if need be. The latest and greatest
equipment is not necessary to get started.
Now,
there are some special skills you will need, outside of
the education, which include:
- Ability
to type - your speed will increase with experience.
- Excellent
grammar skills.
- Good
listening skills.
- Basic
computer skills with a work processing program.
- Research
skills.
-
Must be detail oriented.
- Ability
to work on your own.
- Ability
to maintain work deadlines and be a self-motivator.
You will
also need some computer programs such as a medical spellchecker
and a word expander utility to cut down on the amount of actual
typing you do. Some programs, such as Microsoft Word® include
this type of utility. It is the best invention by far, in
my opinion.
Basic
bookkeeping is necessary, but not difficult. A good bookkeeper
is great to have when it comes to taxes and advising you
about saving money with tax deductions for your business.
Medical
transcription is usually paid by the amount of work transcribed.
Therefore, it is quite normal to charge your clients by
the line. If you charge 13 cents per line and type 200 lines
per hour, (this is a very comfortable speed to type) your
hourly rate would end up being about $26.00.
Being
self-employed does have some pitfalls. One must consider,
as with any home based business, that once you become self-employed
you are responsible for securing your own health insurance,
and putting away money for retirement.
However,
there are many positive things about being self-employed,
as I'm sure you can imagine. For me, what I love the most,
is the flexibility I have with my time. If I want to work
late in the day I can, and if I want to work early in the
morning, that¹s up to me. Running a home-based medical transcription
business is a lot of fun.
Medical
transcription is not for everyone, and it is important before
venturing in to any business that you weigh up the pros
and cons of it all and do what is best for your situation.
