MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION AT HOME
Start A Medical Transcription At Home Career
From the creator of "The Step-by-Step Guide to Medical Transcription at Home":
"As a medical transcriptionist, I do 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 business doing medical transcription at home. 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:
* Excellent grammar skills
* Good Listening Skills,
* Must be detail oriented
* Ability to maintain work deadlines and be a self-motivator
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. This is something you could outsource if you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself.
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.
