How to Outsource Medical Transcription in the USA
The step-by-step playbook for moving your transcription to a US-based partner — what to evaluate, how the transition works, and why practices land on Sunrise.
Outsourcing Done Right Takes Days, Not Months
Practices decide to outsource medical transcription for familiar reasons — cost, staffing headaches, quality inconsistency — then stall on the fear that switching is disruptive. It isn't, when the process is structured. A good US-based partner handles the transition in a defined sequence: BAA execution, template and format configuration, provider dictation setup, a parallel-run trial period, and then full cutover.
That's exactly the onboarding Sunrise Transcription runs. We're headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, with US-based account management and support, serving practices in all 50 states. Your providers keep dictating the way they already do — app, toll-free line, or recorder — and documents start returning in your formats within days of the BAA being signed.
The outcome our clients report: substantial savings versus in-house staffing, quality that improved rather than dipped, and zero transcription management left on their plates. Start with a free trial running alongside your current process, and cut over only when the results convince you.

FAQ
Outsource Medical Transcription USA: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to outsource our transcription?
Most practices are fully transitioned within days: BAA and setup typically complete in 1-2 days, followed by a trial period you control.
Do we have to change how our physicians dictate?
No. We support secure app, toll-free dial-in, and standard digital recorders — providers keep their current habits.
Can we outsource gradually instead of all at once?
Yes. Many practices start with overflow, after-hours, or a single provider, then expand as results come in.
What happens to our existing templates and formats?
We replicate them during onboarding at no charge, so outsourced documents arrive indistinguishable from your current ones — minus the errors.
