IN-HOUSE LABOUR COSTS The major part of the expense incurred, is the wages paid to a medical transcriber, costing the company US $.39832 annually, add to that the other costs in the form of benefit expenses of 5%, the payroll taxes of 2% on the wages, and the sick/ vacation allowances, which will add to the total cost of US $.44134.40 annually.

IN-HOUSE EQUIPMENT COSTS The investment into equipment such as the workman’s computer, dictation and transcription equipment and miscellaneous software will cost another US $.1450, and assuming that such equipment will serve the company for the next three years, the depreciation value of 33% or US $ 478.50 will have to be added to the operational cost annually..

IN-HOUSE COSTS OF A SINGLE TRANSCRIBBED LINE For the purpose of trying to analyze the cost that an in-house transcription process may incur for transcribing a single line of a Medical record, let us first split the annual expenditure of US $52,130.74 by 52 working weeks of a year, the operational cost thus will be US $1002.50 a week, and if a medical transcriber is able to transcribe 4000 linesof medical records a week, a simple math calculation will tell us that a single line of transcription can cost an in-house medical transcription process $ 0.25cents, and when you compare that to the US $ 0.08cents we charge our customers, a hospital or a healthcare provider in CALIFORNIA can save a mammoth 68% of costs by assigning all their medical transcription needs to us.
