How much do they make with medical transcription wages? I looked it up on salary.com and it said around 30,000 a year. But I was wanting to know from actual people with experience in it or from people who know people who do it/have done it. Is it a pretty decent income? Is it really 30,000 a year starting?
Thank you so much for your answers!
I was a medical transcriptionist working from home for 13 years. My best year was $36K, but the best part was being able to work around home and family. Many transcriptionists get their training through a course of study while others carry their medical terminology knowledge with them from other health related fields.
You would need to get the terminology down, and then get started. Many companies want experience so there’s a catch-22. However, doctors and hospitals may be hiring, and after a time you can work from home as many transcriptionists do.
There’s some excellent information for anyone considering a career in this field in the website listed below. No affiliation with any school or products, just good info, including real job listings in coding, billing, and transcription. They also have free listings in their directory for transcriptionists.

Is a medical transcription degree necessary?
This question is often asked by those interested in working as a medical transcriptionist.
In some cases the degree counts because it may get you more money. It is not essential to have one and often the employer only cares about whether you can do the job.
The important thing is to become a competent medical transcriptionist. Schooling is great and certainly necessary if you are totally inexperienced in both the medical field and at transcription work.
Workplace experience however, will build up your competence and it is amazing how fast you can learn when you are dropped in the deep end, so to speak.
Even with the work experience, there can be advantages in becoming qualified.
So bearing in mind all that – is it worth getting the degree?
Well our suggestion is to go and get a medical transcription degree. If there is an opportunity to get work and gain experience before you are qualified, then do so. It will benefit you in your study as well.
