The folks who had the assignment open just filled it, but I got the scoop for the future. You have to go through an agency to get the contracts. They do have traveling assignments for transcription - just like travel nursing. See the country, yay! This assignment was for 6 months in Fresno, CA.
The agency pays for your housing, car, professional insurance etc. You get a flat hourly rate for your services and some agencies will provide health benefits, etc. I asked which agency they recommend and they said MSN Health (http://www.msnhealth.com/).
The agency gets around $55/hr to cover your services, housing, car, their profit, etc.
