I think it starts at 90 days; Blue Cross Blue Shield. Delta dental. nm
.
Any companies have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance? sm
I am an IC looking for a new job as an employee- need healthcare bad! Due to a pre-existing condition, Blue Cross has been the only company that will insure me so looking to get them again. Anyone know of companies that have this?
Yes, per year and it's Blue Cross also.

Acusis has Blue Cross.
I'm fine with the coverage - Blue Cross - sm
and somethings are covered w/o going into your deductible. Copays are $20; drug plan; mammos, Paps covered free. However, lab work falls into the out of pocket going to your deductible; ugh.
I love the dental through MetLife.
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Heck, I don't care what it costs. It's Blue Cross, sm
accepted everywhere in my area. Only one of my docs was in the preferred tier with the last insurance and I didn't want to switch so I just paid out of my pocket. I only have myself and the rate is cheaper for me.
I have a single plan with Affordablue with Blue Cross for $184/month. sm
Not sure about the pre-existing conditions clause -- might be a 3 or 6 month waiting period. I have a $25 co-pay for office visits (5 per year), but $1000 deductible. If you're relatively healthy and just need well visit checks, it is ideal, but not sure about your situation.
I did find a site: www.healthinsurancesort.com that might help you.
Good luck!
Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental. Hope this helps. 
cross training
Please call me and I will see what I can do to help you out.
I got one and used it to try out my new cross-cut shredder.
Worked great!
That's a cross to bear with most co's...sm
This demographic BS, looking up Dr's names, addresses, CCs aud nauseum, etc, etc, is just another sample of MT exploitation we have to deal with these MTSOs, and they practically all do it....ironically, it's the demos/unpaid duties that QA gives you the most flack about. (The client wants it just so ....if he wants it just so...means client is paying for this service, while we get to do it GRATIS. They really think we're that dumb , not to know the difference between paid work and voluntary work, our our gift to their stockholders. 
Cross-eyed from VR
Okay, here is my spill about VR. The way VR is sold to the MTSO is that it is going to be wonderful and save them money. That may be true, because of course they are now paying the MT less per line which means the MT has to do more lines to make the same amount of money. When an MT used to produce 1000 lines a day, she now has to produce 1300. No matter what they say, VR is entirely different than transcribing. It is like playing a piano when someone has messed up the notes on your sheet music and you have to keep up with the band while transposing the notes and playing the correct ones when the wrong ones are written. It is very hard on the eyes and the brain, and is NOTHING like transcribing. If anything, they should pay us MORE as we never get into any zone, can never close and rest our eyes, and basically it is a miserable brain drain. Sometimes I feel like telling them it is like trying to ride a bike with two flat tires -- and you get paid by the mile. Because we refused to unionize we are sunk. To anyone who will listen: Go back to school, MTing is like being on the Titanic.
So, why don't they just cross train?? NM

Cross your eyes and your toes too. :-) The only
than I read but once you get used to it and it learns your particular account, you should be able to do OK with it. It's picking up more and more all the time, less things you have to fix on certain worktypes but I look at it as job insurance, not displacement. No matter how they tout this thing, it'll never replace us completely. And it's good for a laugh now and then.
If you find a company to cross-train in
can you please post the name of the company. I have been wanting to get into radiology. I probably know more than I think I do. However, radiology and medical records transcription were done in separate parts of the hospital, so never got to practice what I learned.
thanks
I'd have to third that motion. In this biz, I never burn bridges I may have to cross later or sta
on. I do my best to work both until I see how it will work. Trust me, I have seen in only a day if there was potential or not at a new job. You get a feel for support, difficulty of work types, and overall general feel of what this new place is like. Besides that, when I first came home to do transcription and had to give notice, as this is what i had one previously in the outside world. Boy was I shocked when after giving my 2 weeks notice I found out I was locked out of the account. Apparently, my 2 weeks notice ended NOW....so beware and be cautious.
Called out of the blue...sm
Have you ever been called out of the blue by a company which you did NOT submit an ap or resume to be offered a job? Happened to me last night and I was a bit shocked. It was what you would call a cold call, I guess. Seemed odd...has anyone had a similar experience?
RE: Called out of the blue...........
If it was from Spheris, RUN LIKE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and don't look back!!!
spheris out of blue
Was contacted out of the blue by Spheris. They and MQ will fail. 
spheris out of the blue
One can only hope they fail.
Blue Meditech
The blue Meditech was the BEST (but it did not have word Expander or spell check). BUT WHO CARES, at that time you could actually get 14,000 lines a week for gross lines... no more with all of the companies not even paying for spaces! Enjoy this platform, I think it is the BEST.
The blue belts? OMG! sm
I remember those blue Dictaphone belts, too, that the doc wrote on with a white waxy pencil. We're BOTH really old MTs!
blue team
There are 4 teams, each with different managers, accounts, etc. I'm on the red team...just curious if I'd run into you!
I'm on the Blue Team!!!
You'll love our supervisor, she's the best! QA is pretty good too, though haven't had much dealings with her. She is very, very fair though and if you ever dispute your score, our supervisor will go to bat for you. Good luck...I'm sure I'll *see* you there!!!
Try Blue Hippo
Try www.bluehippo.com They don't do credit checks and you can get a computer on a weekly payment plan. I have not used them personally so can't comment there. You may also want to consider a Rent-A-Center type place. Good Luck.
Spoken like a true blue
You hang in there, sleep well at night?
Anyone know of Proveros? They sent me an email out of the blue.
nm
A blue team account is gone
It's been around for a long time but late last week the e-mail said if working on the account to log off now, business with them has now been completed. People were switched to new primary accounts. If you didn't work on this account as a primary or secondary, you wouldn't notice a difference in the amount of work obviously.
What in the blue blazes is your problem???
Do you always have to post something negative and childish after every one of Gourdpainter's posts? I'd say you were using Mommie's PC but the kids are back in school now, so methinks this is one of the vindictive TT management trolls, angry over the fact that even though they sued her for $294.50 for defamation of character, she had the NERVE to keep posting, not properly chastised and slinking away quietly. So, I suggest YOU GO! You are really making a fool out of yourself.
Keep up the good fight, GP!!
Look in the blue column on the left- youll see
CONTACTS toward the bottom of the page. There is an option where you can email MTStars to ask this question. I'm sure that none of us can answer your question.
Spoken like a true blue manager
Ahh loyalty..... what a wonderful quality. Defend to the end will we UNTIL the table turns on you!
No one has mentioned Blue Choice for Kids
to family insurance. For instance, individual rate is around $37 for an employee. It's adding the *family* that makes it jump sky high. Blue Choice for Kids lets you insure your kid without the parent having the underlying insurance, and rates are around $110 (depending on 3 different options) per month, which comes out to around $50 a pay period. They also give basic dental check-ups, vision, and prescriptions, and doctor visits are around $35 co-pay. I did the math, and my $37 plus $50 for Blue Choice ends up being a lot cheaper than the *family* rate of $200-350 at most companies. I might mention I'm a single mom with 1 kid, so adding just one person makes the rate astronomical. Also, as a warning, I'm not sure Blue Choice is available in all states, so you'll have to check.
WMX question on update this a.m. Little blue box and numbers (sm)
in upper right hand, I think the numbers might be line count, what is the other one in the blue box?
Make sure that it is the Word version not the old blue screen. nm
xx
I use Wild Blue, no problems here but the companies I work for use FTP
x
I use Meditech with them, but it is Client Server version. Not the old blue screen! sm
I actually like the program and I really like ShortHand but I converted my abbreviations from another program into there so I did not have to start over.
yes, Blue Fox Software out of Illinois. Microsoft partner, Gold Standard, etc.
they make White Tiger, a business intelligence system, and their top programmer is Tom. I'm sure they can make something very nice for you. Tell them Jo sent you! link below
I love it! Nothing like the old blue screen Meditech. User friendly and easy to use! sm
I also get paid gross line, which helps, but very easy to use!
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
the rest
There are two types of Meditech. One is Meditech Magic, which has a blue sm
screen and is like WP5.1. It is a bit cumbersome but not bad once you get used to it.
The other is Meditech Client, which is WONDERFUL. It opens into Word and populates the demographics for you.
Neither are bad once you get used to them. I make great money using Magic and a lot of others complain about it.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech
s
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH
Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA 
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.
TransTech.

TransTech
I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
