At first glance, hiring an onsite scribe may seem like a comparable alternative. But the total cost tells a very different story. 

Let’s break it down: 

Typical Onsite Scribe Monthly Costs 

• Base salary or hourly wage: $4,000 to $6,000/month 

• Hiring and onboarding expenses 

• Ongoing training and supervision 

• HR, payroll, and benefits administration 

• Coverage gaps during leave or turnover 

Once these overheads are factored in, the real cost of an onsite scribe can climb significantly higher than expected, often exceeding $6,500 to $7,500 per month. 

Virtual Scribes at a Fraction of the Cost 

By comparison, TransDyne’s Virtual Scribes cost only 10–15% of a traditional onsite scribe, with: 

• No training or onboarding burden 

• No benefits or HR overhead 

• No scheduling or coverage headaches 
• Immediate deployment and flexible scaling 

You get consistent, professional documentation support without the operational complexity of hiring, training, and managing another employee. 

Indirect Savings You Can’t Ignore 

Beyond direct wage savings, TransDyne offers value through: 

• Eliminated overtime documentation 

• Streamlined billing workflows 

• Reduced administrative burnout 

• Improved patient satisfaction (as physicians spend more time engaging, less time typing) 

Over time, these savings translate into better retention, smoother operations, and higher profitability for your entire practice.
