That's all mine had on it too. I wondered about that, even though I don't need family.

sure you got the same email? According to mine, the family
and what they are moving away from is (was) top notch.

You only pay a deductible for certain services (hospitilizations and such) but for office visits and routine well care and RX, the copays are decent. The vision plan and dental plan stayed about the same.
The ad says they treat MTs like family ... what a family that must be! LOL nm

That's what I wondered. Thanks.

I wondered too!!
I found it a couple of weeks ago but nobody was in there  I think it would be a great thing to utilize!!
I wondered about that....
I've went through the testing and everything, just waiting for a call or email! :)
I wondered.....
I missed the earlier posts because I've been working and haven't had a chance to read much on here. I left there about 2 years ago and am glad I did. I feel for those who are still there, especially dealing with the cesspool, and now this, if it is true.
Thanks... that's what I wondered.
It wasn't me actually. It was someone else and the story they told me. I just wondered if there wasn't something more than just the 97-something percent, one time review that was the reason. It doesn't really make sense.
Just saw the ad and wondered
no message.
Ok. Just wondered.
Maybe that's why I have no work today??? lol
I wondered about that...
It doesn't say anything about direct deposit on their website or their ad. Thanks for the info!
I have wondered
the same thing myself...what happens to other benefits when there is little to no work?
OMG!!! I wondered why I didn't see her on IM.
She told me that she did not like using the IM but to still always let her or anyone in quality know if we had a question. She was very patient with me and gave me so much feedback, like all the time. It was a hard account, lot of ESL but she knew all about it. She was awesome. I don't know who to ask now for questions.
Wondered the same thing myself.
Are health care benefits 100% paid by employee?
I wondered that, too. There was a number in
I wonder?
I've wondered the same -
Could they be building up to sell out high? Seems to be a scramble to grab up companies, a race between us and any other country with enough money.

But what do I know, I'm only here for the food(Ever After).
I've often wondered if... sm
the transcriptionists that do 2000 lines a day are not rushing through for production sake and sending reports in with mistakes and not looking things up.  I verify everything and fix the template to look neat and tidy since the template I work on needs a lot of fixing before I can even start typing.  I always wondered if being too obsessive about it was one of the reason I never seem to make any lines.  Also, when I have first started with a few different companies and they sent me example reports I have spotted mistakes in them, and then I figured the initials on the bottom of the example report must be from one of their high producers.
I always wondered what the going rate for rad was
At W I only make 7.5 cpl doing rad, but I didn't have much experience, so I thought it was fair.
I've often wondered the same thing...
Why offshore to save money if you're just going to have to hire editors to correct the mistakes? Sounds like it DUH-feats the whole purpose of it to me!
I've wondered the same thing...

Sure has been quiet since they started bouncing checks, not paying their MTs at all, etc.  I just assumed they had changed their name and were incognito somewhere here.


I've wondered about the same thing if...
the IT guy came in remotely and cleaned off anything related to the company and its activities so you were just left with a clean system. Sometime you just like a computer that works great and it would be nice to own it for cheap when leaving a company rather than them paying for shipping back and doing who knows what with it as a used computer when they get it back. Just my thoughts, nothing I have ever done or asked for.
Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst.  Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the insurance.
I know a few years ago the insurance was really high so I never applied.  Does anyonoe know how much for family insurance? What insurance is it? Blue Cross, Aetna etc...? Thanks again
I noticed the ad a few times before too. Just wondered about that. nm
,,
That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm

I wondered about that too. Could it be a typo? Thought someone had said 125/hr a few years ago.
xx
Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
similar post a month ago or so, someone wondered this....
nm
Good question - I've always wondered that myself.
I don't think the companies want us to know how work is assigned, though.
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port.   I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like.  I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it. 
Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


BTW I work part time too. 


There was an ad posted yesterday "Editors needed," signed TMMG. I wondered if anyone knew who
was.  TIA.
The 2nd one was NOT family. Again, get your sm
facts straight.
Family

No ... not being catered to.  The company pays the same portion of my insurance for my family plan as it does for the employee who has no family.  With the new plan, for health and dental for myself and my family, I will be paying a grand total of $738.93 a month, which is down from $977.00 I was paying.  I hardly call $738.00 a month being catered too.  I'm just happy it came down.  The employee only rates are still very, very good from my point of view, and it does seem like it is really good coverage.


this is for family?

No family? sm
Then who is that cutie in the picture? 
You say family comes first?
All the love in the world goes out the window if you are hungry. Check and see just what are the basic needs. Love is not the first thing on the list.
family plan
Anyone know what the cost would be for a family plan?
family plan
I can't find the info they sent me...It should be here somewhere.  I'll look some more Sunday and see if I can find it. 
family plan
I've looked everywhere and can't find the initial info they sent.  Maybe someone else who has a family plan through MQ or at least can find their introductory info on the insurance plan can answer this.  Sorry! 
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.


If you are single and have no family

go for it.   My situation was a bit different in that I wasn't running out of work, just testing the waters.  I applied to about a dozen companies, offered positions with each, took 3 positions to figure which I liked best.  I had worked for a small local company for 13 years as my only experience so was really clueless.   I found it really difficult to switch from the various accounts and scheduling became a nightmare because I really had no clear-cut hours or line counts.  It got to where I wasn't doing a good job, just doing the lines and not caring about the product, plus I was screaming at my son for bothering me while I was trying to work.  Just wasn't worth it. 


 


 


Single or family? nm

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.


Family is about $240 or so a pay period
Including dental and vision.
WMX has best overall family coverage
I absolutely agree 1000%!!! It has great benefits.
For me the family insurance...
is high compared to my husband's insurance, but then again, his insurance is AWESOME, so I did not need the coverage. This is based where I live, and I am in PA. Their vision IS better than my husband's though so I did get that, and the dental coverage is not bad either, but again, my husband's covers ortho whereas they do not. Overally, they do have good benefits compared to other companies I have worked for. HTH
Less than $360 for family at MQ. Med/Den/Vision
nm
It's an American family; however
looking at their website, it does say they have significant private equity in India.
