Work at Home - Medical Transcriptionists

Take a look at the links below and launch them if you are interested. Before you do anything further, look at the rest of the website. You can always get to the main website by typing in the www. insert name of company .com, org. net, or other simple ending. If you think any of these look promising, you will then need to do enough research to ensure that any company you would like to work with is solid and legitimate – and pays.

There are a lot of companies that specialize in medical transcription. Using Google [also try your own variety of word combinations] on the advanced search ‑‑ use “work at home” on the first line and “medical transcription” on the second line, then search. Scroll and read the links that appear that you might want to see. I ignore the advertisements to the right when searching for information.

I also tried monster.com and typed in [on the front page] “medical transcription” without filling in any location or other criteria. Try your local yellow pages to locate companies close to you that might hire work at home MT’s.

Note that you might have to really search the website to find information about medical transcription work. It might be at the top or bottom of the page, in a sidebar or might be in a dropdown menu. You might see the words “career” or “employment” somewhere or not at all. Even if you don’t see this, it doesn’t mean they don’t use remote transcriptionists.

It might be evident from a perusal of the website they probably use remote help (i.e., work at home employees or independent contractors) from hints you see on the site. They might have a system where any medical professional from practically anywhere can reach them and you see the word “digital” in connection with the discussion on equipment needed or they will help with a system for them, stay interested. There’s a lot of other signs, many of which are meant not to be obvious.

If you just cannot locate any information at all – then contact the company and ask. Many professional companies that advertise on the intranet for clients who need medical transcription (and whatever other services they offer) are only all about just that. This is done for a variety of reasons – avoiding competitors, avoiding the client reading about their internal work policies, keeping the site strictly professional, all about how promptly and accurately the client’s needs can be fulfilled.

Most companies want well‑experienced and often, in addition, specialty-experienced medical transcriptionists. Find the right company that is legitimate and your skills could earn you not only good money at home, but some have benefits as well. It’s worthwhile to scrutinize what is available.

It is also worthwhile to carefully scrutinize the requirements of various companies – they aren’t all the same, and weigh the circumstances carefully if they seem onerous. And, most importantly, don’t quit your day job until you have found a legitimate company, worked with them, and decided it’s for you. Give it a long enough trial before you decide to make a career location change. MT is hard work and not an easy job.

Companies that are hiring often want resumes, and will test for knowledge and typing skills.

Legitimate companies don’t require a fee to hire you.

As with any work at home link on this site, none of these have been researched before placing them on this blog, but they looked like [maybe] possibilities.
