NextGBC offers a flexible and affordable pricing range depending upon the volume of work and the specific turnaround time desired.
We are flexible to various pricing modalities generally involved with Medical Transcription. These include but are not limited to character count (65 characters with spaces equal one line), gross line count per document, per document charge, per minute of dictation charge, etc.
All our transcriptionists are split into specialist teams, each team covering a particular medical specialty.
Each doctor, depending on their area of specialization, is then allocated to an individual transcriptionist. This ensures quality through familiarization on a regular basis. It allows them to get used to the specific environment and requirements including dictation habits, work types, templates and practitioner habits. The latest tools and reference materials are maintained on each transcriptionist's workstation.
In addition, we have maintained an in-house quality assurance mechanism whereby our Quality Control Analysts check files transcribed by each transcriptionist. This is followed by a final layer of checking by the Account Supervisors providing spot checks and proofreading before finally submitting the document to the customer. In addition, our Quality Control Analysts maintain an accuracy graph sheet in accordance with the HPI Sum Program on a daily basis for all transcriptionists.
This phenomenon enables us to maintain our quality standards on a persistent basis and in light of the above, we feel proud in declaring that "Our accuracy profile is as dictated by the dictator".

The Medical Transcription (MT) Operations Department works from Monday to Friday split between two working shifts. The first shift commences from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM local time and the second shift from 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM local time.
The working shifts for our Operations Department have been designed to cater the variable turnaround time requirements of our customers.
Medical transcription requires a practical knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, disease processes and the internal organization of medical reports. In addition, the MT should posses above average listening and English comprehension skills, as well as proficiency in the use of personal computers and MT specific software.
NextGBC conducts a periodic training program that is a two-month basic training. We follow, in addition to other educational tools, the internationally accepted and very comprehensive American Health Professions Institute (HPI) System Systems Unit Method or SUM Program. The course covers medical terminology, medical documentation, medico-legal concepts, pharmacology, laboratory procedures, diagnostic modalities, surgical procedures, etc. Moreover, our students spend a considerable time in improving their PC usage skills as well as listening to actual dictation from doctors.
Following training, we offer internship to the individuals ranging from two to six months depending upon their learning potential, which is followed by employment at NextGBC.
NextGBC’s MT training program is somewhat different from those being offered by other MT training institutes. We train MTs intensively so that they can be absorbed internally for our own projects.
The average turnaround time NextGBC offers its customers currently is 24 hours from the time of dictation upload to turning in of the transcribed report.
NextGBC’s workflow is designed to incorporate time zone differences between different regions of the world it serves. Based on this, we have a flexible TAT (turnaround time) offering ranging from 6 hours to 72 hours depending upon the requirements of the customers and the volume of work in terms of dictation minutes.
