Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
They do not pay anything on family coverage, IMO. That is why I would rather be an IC and buy

my own policy versus being an employee of a service.  When you think about it, being an employee for most of the services out there offers no real benefits at all.  I have found that the PTO that some of these companies offer as part of their benefits package is a crappy.  You basically get paid a base hourly rate for any PTO you take and that base rate never EVER equals what you actually make when typing.  So you are basically penalized for taking time off.


And health insurance benefit packages are a joke!  They pay nothing for family coverage and not to mention there is always the threat looming over your head that if your production falls, they can take your benefits away.


If I were you, I would either be an IC and buy your own policy or try to get on with a hospital that offers work at home MT jobs.  Hospitals are the only places that offer decent health insurance coverage for families.  I have my own accounts and bought a health insurance policy for my kids and I, but recently I took a job with a hospital just for the insurance.  So now I have my own accounts plus I work FT for a hospital from home.  I pay $175 a month for family coverage with a $1000 family deductible.  It was financially a smarter move for me to go to work as an employee with the hospital because I'm saving a bundle on insurance.


Again, let me say, I would NEVER go back to work as an employee for a service.  They don't offer anything that I would consider benefits.  You're better off buying your own policy.


Family coverage
is about $217 per pay period. I think you have to get this one if you have more than one child.
Yes they have family coverage

but I do not need that right now.  I have a schedule but they are flexible hours so that really helps.  Pay does include all spaces, but what I like is the direct deposit and the steady work.  I have been with Medware for 2 years and always have work.  If my primary is out they give you a back up account.  Finally my income meets my needs and I can move ahead with some things around the house that needed fixing.  Plus it's nice knowing I have good health insurance.


WMX has best overall family coverage
I absolutely agree 1000%!!! It has great benefits.
That is for family coverage.
Maybe there are people that might have had a different experience, but just giving my opinion. I have also heard their platform sucks before from other people.
I have it 2. Pay about $50 for full family coverage.
Yep, all maintenance is paid 100% - major stuff pays very well, too. I really like it, and have had it for years and years.  Nothing exciting, but good basic dental coverage. I like the $1000 a year per kid for braces! Sure helps with 3 in them!!  I think its just the normal probationary period til it starts - 3 months? Honestly don't remember reading anything about waiting a year for braces though. 
That's not bad for single, but I really need family coverage.
Anyone know what these companies preminums are like for family coverage.. Thanks.
Goodness. I have coverage for a family of 4 for
less than that.  I would have looked at options long ago. 
My family coverage amount
I work for Axolotl and our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year, but I pay 134.00 every 2 weeks for mine. It's Aetna PPO insurance. I have coverage for myself, son and husband.
WEBMDX FAMILY COVERAGE INS-Does anyone know how much it is?

What is family health coverage like at AllType?

Thanks.. I really needed to have good family coverage.. I guess MDI is out for me.. nm
nm
I have single coverage - affordable - but don't know about family. Call them.

Is OSI's the cost family coverage fairly reasonable or sky-high? nm

Are there ANY companies out there that actually offer decent family medical coverage??
Some are just downright ridiculous amounts. Right now, I am with a company that offers decent single coverage but the family is like $750 a month and I cannot just work for insurance. There has to be something left over to like....eat on... or pay bills. Any suggestions out there. I do have over 13 years of experience.
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks
I was thinking about applying

I work every sunday now, and I would really like my weekends free.  I also don't like the software too much, and I have to pay LD.


Thanks for all the info you gave me.

Thank you.  I appreciate your reply.

Do they pay more than 3 cpl for editing? I need to make some money and that's the best offer I've seen so far and it's pitiful from what I've read on the boards.
Was thinking about applying at Transcend.

I've heard a lot about VR and the VR platform.  Are all their accounts on this?


I was thinking about applying for this company
myself as an SE but I had been reading some bad things about it and got scared off. However, I have read some very good things about MQ too!

Has anyone heard of Transcript USA or have any information? Thinking of applying
I have no found no real information on them. Thanks for your time.
I'm thinking about applying at Keystrokes for a radiology position.
Could anyone tell me if they pay per report, how much they start you with and if there are increases along the way. Have seen past post with different amounts and have seen a post in the archives stating 1.25 per report and 1.25 more for reports over 2 minutes long.
What line count problem? I'm thinking about applying
nm
Wow. One of my friends was thinking of applying there. I'll have to caution her!
I had no idea they were so bad! They offered me a position a year ago, but I turned it down and ended up going with Keystrokes, and I'm glad that I did! They kick you off the system when there is low work? That's screwed up!
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks
nm
Is Keystrokes a big company or small? I am thinking of applying. Time to leave the Q. nm
The sad thing is that I do not even think they would notice if I left. I am a high producer but not very vocal and they seem to have forgotten about me :(
Does Transcription, Technology, & Support send work to India? Thinking of applying if not.
Does anybody know. 
Medware or MDI-FI. Considering applying. Unsure of best choice.

Medware's test hold people back from applying.
