Experienced transcriptionist for IMEs and record reviews

October 10, 2024

Industry: Private

Employment Type:- Full Time

Work Hours:- 8 Hours

Locations:- USA

Full Job Description:-

Do you have the knowledge and stamina to handle lengthy and complex IME dictations? Do you have experience in reading and understanding medical records? Do you know Microsoft Word inside and out? If so, we encourage you to apply for an independent contractor position as a medical transcriptionist with our company. See How to Apply below for requirements!

Ideal Candidate:

Successful transcriptionists who work with us are capable of understanding and following complex written instructions with minimal supervision and are able to use (or can successfully research how to use) Word’s advanced formatting features, including space between paragraphs, hanging indents, complicated tables, and the concept of keep-with-next formatting. You will also be responsible for populating data in report templates of varying complexity.

Please be aware that we do NOT transcribe simple clinic notes, short daily visit notes, or any similar reports. Reports are long and complicated, sometimes taking days to transcribe a single document. Also, if you consider yourself to be strictly a “visual learner” who has difficulty following written instructions, you will not be a good fit for this position. If you are seeking a “typical” medical transcription gig, this is not it! We transcribe legal reports that contain medical terminology. However, if you think you have what it takes, we look forward to reviewing your resume and your testing materials.
