Gosh..does this company start with an F. In any event, you need to double check with your insurance

provider to see the exact date the policy was cancelled. Sometimes, companies have to pay preminums ahead of time. I would just make sure and if they are still taking the money out, you need to send a certified letter telling them to return your money at the point you were paid up and the policy cancelled or reinstate the insurance. Why pay for something your not getting.

The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
Always double check your
And then check it again.
You might double check this...
In the 3 states I have lived in, they did not charge to change your phone number if you were changing it due to harassment. And this certainly sounds like harassment!! I can't imagine being called that much by a company I don't work for, telemarketers are bad enough, but at least they have to stop at a certain time of night. Caller ID was the greatest invention ever, I don't answer unless I know who it is and that I want to talk to them. Good luck to you.
Somebody needs to double check
The laws that apply to someone who is an EMPLOYEE may not apply to someone who is a STATUTORY EMPLOYEE, which are two distinctly different classifications. I'll contact TPTB and see what I can find out.
Gosh.. really a "former" insurance clerk. I cannot believe you qualified for such a honored po
Wow, an insurance clerk. What kind of education do you need for that. I feel your best suited for a position that would include working as the spelling police. Some people.. You should get a life!
FYI - If you go there, better double check your lines!!!!!! nm

Double check - are you sure they didn't say

If and when you find one, be sure do double check yourself that you are being paid for what they
:P
Double check your line counts.

I routinely double check line counts
I have audited my line counts often using Sylcount and the line counts are always pretty much right on compared to BayScribe.  I have no reason to believe they fudge on line counts, but I would never take someone's word for it, so I always run audits periodically myself.  It has never been a problem. 
Maybe they want to make sure people double check their spelling.
If you are not sure of how they are spelled, you really should look them up.

They are well known brands and easy to look up.
Actually, I didn't, but my point is taking out double premiums for insurance sm
and I am glad that you find my distress so amusing.  Perhaps you can go pick some wings off flies too while you're at it.
Oh my gosh yes! I started at a company about 6 months ago,

starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company.  However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day.  It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously.  I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would. 


 


I'll check the COC but wanted to start looking now
to get a head start.
Anyone else new with MedWare still waiting on your first check? DD doesn't start until

Axolotl and Spheris supposedly start insurance early, too. nm

It means to double check what THEY say your count it. Count

Insurance took 1/2 of pay check (sm)
and then there was $1500 deductible for anything other than office visits.

How are you in control of what you make when they can deduct the entire lines of any report they want, saying that you made an Expander mistake the hospital noticed. Good way to harass people until they quit.
I'd check insurance rates
I'd check how much it would be to buy insurance for yourself and then you can compare the two rates better. I can buy health insurance on my own cheaper than the premiums that many companies offer, so I take the higher IC pay and buy insurance on the side.
That sounds wonderful, I also know someone who is an event planner, SM
along the same line, they interact with catering. Thanks for the good news!
Yes I have applied to both. Just wanted to know in the event both call me. nm

So start your own company. That's what they did. nm

would that company start with a "T" and
end in a d? If so, I know all too well! It makes me sick. I've been doing this for 11 years and it really is getting worse and worse for MTs. They are pretty manipulative in making us think we will make more. We're not that stupid, though, to believe them. Aren't there any companies who just stick to using human MTs instead of these ignorant VR systems? If so, tell me who, please - I'm ready to throw in the towel with the company I'm at now.
No, the company do not start with an M

Does this company name start with A? nm

Does that company start with a

Does the name of this company start
with an M?
Does the company name start with a T??
I have been there and done that!!
What company is this? Maybe I should start looking
NM
Just curious. Does your new company start with a P? nm
nm
Yes, I'd have a backup job..Also, does this company start with a C?? Thanks NM

This company's name doesn't start with a "K", but......
sorry you had the same experience with another company. It stinks when you are told you have failed a test but aren't given any further details.
It is a good company, how many others start - sm
you higher than 0.08 a line anymore? Very few and far between. They don't make a fortune off of you, they are not getting .20 a line and you .08, nothing like that. I have been working there for a year now, and yes some days I only make $50, others $80-$100, just depends on how much I chose to work. Have plenty of work, too much actually right now, all my accts have gone crazy lately it seems. But if any one sees this and has questions just let me know.
I start tomorrow with a small company exactly as you
Hope it works out but I've had good success in the past from companies who don't advertise.
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
optimal - start-up flip company

Optimal readings is a start-up flip company. The CEO has been involved with numerous flips with other companies he's helped start. They are backed by investors with deep pockets, which it needs for the acquisitions they conducted last year and going forward. Because of these acquisitions, they've gone from a start-up in late 2006 to the No. 4 Teleradiology service provider in the nation. They've positioned themselves in an attractive position for one of the top 3 to buy them out. The major draw back of this company is the fact that their overhead is very high (radiologists aren't cheap, up to $350/hr) and they've resolved to billing insurance and individuals instead of billing the hospitals directly. Collections of this nature are in the 30%-40% range. While they use Billed revenue to make themeselves look attractive, their actual 'collected' revenue is significantly lower. Any company that buys Optimal Readings (which may be going under a different name now after their Dec. 6th 2007 acquisition), will be buying a money pit and will likely just liquidate their assets and adapt their clients into their system.

I also could have written your post.. Does your company start with a .....
T...??? It just sounds way too familiar and I have cut back on working for them because I'm sick of getting the garage that they won't send to the Indians
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Don'r forget, when you first start direct deposit with any company sm

sometimes you get a paper check the first pay period.


I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.
x
Does your company start with a T... If so, I feel your pain and it does no good to complain. No one
cares. Tell me how you go from over 200 jobs in a queue to nothing in a few hours. Hmmmm. I smell offsourcing. Not happy. I just got a second job and thank goodness. It will save me when there is no work which is too often for my liking.
If you know who the insurance company
is, contact them. If that is who you have been calling, contact HR at your company. SOmetimes it does take a while to get the cards, as long as you have the information on the insurance company you can give to treating facility, if you need it, you should be covered.
You'd better check out the Company
Board on them. Doesn't sound like a very good place to work. Posts say they charge you for using their software, etc. and pay using Paypal. Click on Company Board, put Medgarde in search and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Company Check
Has anyone heard of Just Your Type transcriptions? How is the company? Any resources will help.
We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work

on already and take our accounts back from Transcend.  I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend.  Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete.  They can't have it both ways.


But they own the other company and it's a big company. Why would they then start
a competing company in the same state? What do you think they are up to?
Anyone know what company OSI's health insurance is through?
TIA
Insurance question. The company SM

I now work for has something called consumer driven insurance.


I would like to know the names of MT companies that offer HMO or PPO. I do not care what the premiums are; just if they offer regular health insurance and not the above-mentioned type.


Please help. Thank you.


Just dealt with that with my insurance company
Makes me insane!! Health insurance issues are pretty important to me, especially when the bills are a couple thousand dollars. It would be nice to be able to understand what they are saying and be understood!
How can I check this, and can you share the name of the 2nd company? nm

Why would a company do a credit check?

They are not loaning you money and you're not purchasing anything on credit are you?
