For what its worth, in my entire career, the pay has never been the same for an HTL with a bachelors and the same experience as any MT, and sometimes less than an MLT. I think maybe only once or twice I did get paid more ( like 5 cents) for having an HTL versus HT. Hospitals are horrible about that in general.
