By giving out only useful and truthful information about the field. Now that you know who I am and what I represent lets get down to the meat of the issue!Is Medical Transcription A Legitimate Home Based Business?Yes, it is and it has been for decades. It is not one of those widely advertised scams that you would see online or in newspapers like the medical billing industry is plagued with. Medical Transcriptionists have three options when deciding how they want to work:1) Work inside a practice, hospital, etc.- if you take this route then you could make the equivalent of $9-15 per hour depending on your skill, accuracy and geographic location. As with any other job you will be supplied with everything you need (including benefits) by your employer.2) Work as an independent/self employed medical transcriptionist - This is when you work completely for/by yourself, you take care of your taxes, you sign up and maintain your own client/accounts, you market your services, you provide your own benefits, etc.

You'll probably start out at the equivalent of $10-15 per hour (or 6-14c per line) and in time (years) you could be earning the equivalent of $15-$40 per hour depending upon the amount of work, clients and type of equipment that you use. I've really enjoyed the time we've spent together today and I hope that you learned what you need to consider before you decide to venture into the home based medical transcription business.Here's To Your Success,Paul Hackett "The Medical Business Mastermind"Paul G.
