Jobs in Medical Transcription: Questions & Answers

Here is another question and answer to starting out as a medical transcriptionists.

Is it Difficult to Get Started in Medical Transcription?

No, not when you compare it to other types of businesses, a medical transcription business is actually quite easy to start. You need to register your business (this can be easily done at City Hall or online), a business checking account (really easy once you register your business) and a good accountant to help you keep track of your taxes and records.

You don't really need any special license other than a general business license and the start up costs are minimal since you're working from home.

Once you have all the technical sides of your business set up you'll want to find a few medical transcription jobs. we've found the best way to do this is by sending out an account seeking sales letter to your local hospitals, clinics and doctors offices.

Follow up a few days later with a telephone call. This approach has worked really well for myself and other MTs and it's a great way of getting accounts. Once you get the first one or two accounts, it should be easy from there as most of your future clients should come from word of mouth.

If you provide a reliable, neat and affordable service word about your  business will soon get around.
