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.

    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?
    FTP & Hippo
    FTP means file transfer protocol. It's a common way to transfer files over the internet, but you will need to download a program to do so. Hippo is the brand name of just one of many, many different FTP clients out there to choose from.

    As an IC, you are responsible for acquiring your own equipment necessary for performing the job in question.

    I am guessing she wants you to purchase Hippo FTP specifically because she wants to utilize the encryption function that may not work with other FTP clients. I am not sure about that though; just a guess.

    You could use HIPPO as your primary FTP client on other accounts if you did purchase it, however.




    Hippo question
    I am considering working for someone as an IC.  They want me to pay them $39 for HIPPO.  Not sure what that is but it seems to be a free download.  Anybody know exactly what it is? Thanks!
    I think Hippo is FTP client software

    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!!!
    Yes, per year and it's Blue Cross also.

    You hang in there, sleep well at night?
    Anyone know of Proveros? They sent me an email out of the blue.
    nm
    TransTech has Blue Cross nm

    Acusis has Blue Cross.

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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? 


     


    Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
    I don't know if they offer other options or not.
    Make sure that it is the Word version not the old blue screen. nm

    I use Wild Blue, no problems here but the companies I work for use FTP

    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! 


    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!
    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.     
    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.
