  • Medical journals, magazines and monthlies are subscribed to, with a view to create awareness among transcriptionists about the latest developments in the medical arena.
  • Proofreading of transcripts is carried out repeatedly as it passes down to many transcriptionists. This is also called the “many-hands” approach.

Our policy for billing

We follow an absolutely transparent policy as far as billing for our services is concerned. This policy ensures that no factor stays hidden during the stage of price negotiation. In fact, we have grouped together a team of accountants to help you compare different quotes from vendors you have approached and the quality cum price benefit we will be offering you. Transcript lengths are measured using mind-boggling number of units, like 55-character gross line, gross line, word page, 65 characters, 65-character gross line etc. Most medical transcription service providers project their rates using these myriad number of transcription length units, befuddling the customers in the process. We have found out that the final cost can vary by a humongous 40%, for different units used. That is, you have to be careful in choosing the correct unit of measurement for the length of the transcript while affixing its cost. Again, we shall have our accountants will make all things crystal clear, so that you can go with the most cost-effective service on offer.
