Response to question about "How does it work? How much does it cost to have VRI in a hospital?" etc...

Here are the number breakdowns again:

Based on 2011 data from sample VRI co. and hospital:

Monthly cost to hospital for VRI package: $1,900
Cost per minute of interpreting: $1.95
Hourly cost for full hour of VRI: $117
Average hourly rate of pay to VRI interpreter: $30-45 (depends on after hours/emergency/weekends etc...)
Usually around $30-35/hr, and this is pre-tax income with no benefits

Amount of difference between VRI per hour and interpreter pay:
$117/hr - $35 = $82/hr for VRI overhead?

Comments and feedback welcomed as always!
