BCBS PPO at Webmedx

nm


BCBS - Webmedx
BCBS silver or gold plans.
Webmedx offers BCBS
Not too expensive (cheapest family coverage I have found). Coverage good, except labs are not covered :(
HOW IS IT YOU RATE BONUS INCENTIVES = SM
while everyone else is struggling - or are only a select few getting offered bonuses? Rest of us are asked to Pleeze help before the account goes out of TAT. Lot of MTs out on PTO. Some of us would like to get in on that PTO (lots are ineligible) as well as the bonuses.
Much more flexible than MQ. 12-hr window to do your work. Rate is lower, but they do have incentives
Haven's started yet, but E-mail me if you'd like and I'll tell you what I can. The Q was just unbearable to me.
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm
.
Webmedx - some accts ran out a few times from Wed. on (sm)

Then we were told we could make up lines Friday evening or Saturday a.m.  All well and good, but now the 2 accounts I am on have 0, count them 0, jobs in them.  I work 8 hours tomorrow!!!! Last day of pay period and I am concerned  I will be at the computer all day scratching out the lines/hours I need. 


Really like this company, but with Christmas and winter gas bills coming up, I am wondering if I should think about another PT gig on the side.  I know all companies are keeping closer TAT than in the past, I understand that.  Just worried. 


 


Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
Bummed!!! Apparently the MDI-FL side doesnt get incentives. It seems like the benefits/incentives
would apply to everyone. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time.
Incentives? What incentives? Lucky I can get the minimum lines.

Webmedx and other companies. What pay rate for VR? (sm)
I work for MQ now and they pay 70% of your regular transcription line rate for voice recognition/editing.  Just wondering about Webmedx and any other companies.  Thanks in advance. 
Same for Webmedx - 70% of your regular line rate. sm
That's better than some - I hear a few pay a flat rate of 2 or 3 cpl for editing!
Webmedx also pays 70% of your current rate. nm
.
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.
s
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
You DO get a line rate increase for passing the CMT at Webmedx. sm
Ask your supervisor.
Webmedx pays 70% of your regular line rate. nm
.
She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm
.
Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm

Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees.  No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0.  If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week.  If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance.  Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again.  As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day. 
BCBS
I have a private policy through BCBS and pay 350/month for a family of 4.
Regarding your insurance: BCBS sm
for an individual in your age group for $300 a month and only a $250 deductible sounds pretty good!

Re #3, you need not mention the fit at all if you're looking for an at-home position. If asked, just mention they were happy with your work. We at-home MTs don't do phones!

Good luck to you!

oops, s/b BCBS
 
Who offers BCBS?

What MT employers offer BCBS?


I have BCBS individual policies for myself and
my last home-living son. When all my children were still at home, they had individual policies that they could take with them.

It was cheaper for me to do buy each of us an individual policy and know that I can keep us insured 100% of the time regardless of whether I changed jobs or not.

The plan I chose for ours has a $5000 major medical deductible but we have not ever had to use hospitalization and I can pay out $5000 one way or another. Office visits are covered 100%. That was my main concern as I wanted the routine items covered. I can handle facing the other big ticket items. I also wanted the lowest premium possible. It was a great bargain for us.

You google to get BCBS #, call and tell them you

90 days/Highmark BCBS

BCBS customer service number sm
Can someone email me with the BCBS customer service number for health insurance through Webmedx? I am thinking of signing on with them but want to ask them a question about coverage first.

Thanks!
Any companies hiring with BCBS as the insurance?
If there are, do they pay well? By well I mean 9-10 cpl.
It was a web-inar showing how to use the BCBS insurance site, mostly. sm
Talk to HR if you need more help. It was presented by BCBS, not our HR group. Showed how to access your account, benefit stuff online.
Dental is Metlife; medical is BCBS w/medication plan sm
$1000 deductible but office visits are $25 co-pay. I think there is a vision option but I don't take it. DD, payday every other Monday; my checks have always been on time. Incentive plan based on total # lines produced, as well as shift differential (not much but there is one). 6 paid holidays, PTO (which is not much first year but rises after that).

As for hours, talk to the recruiter about what you want; I believe schedules are based on which accounts have needs at the time you apply.

401K - no matching.
MQ has a 70% reduction in pay for ASR, what is the reduction rate for Webmedx? nm

ARE THEIR INCENTIVES
IF SO, WHAT ARE THE RATES?
What about incentives? Are there any at all? nm
.
How is pay at KS? Incentives? nm

Incentives - who has them?
I've read a couple of posts where MTs mention incentives, goals, bonuses and I'm interested in finding out which companies actually reward or motivate MTs to do more than just the minimum required, aside from just getting more lines. Thanks!
TT incentives
Does anybody know how TTs incentive tiers work? I know that if you type 13,000 lines, you get 0.25 cents more for the entire 13,000, and if you do 20,000 lines, you get a penny more, but what are the in between amounts?
incentives
I have seen accounts that run incentives based on minutes of dictation, but they also do it on number of reports done or lines typed. Just depends on the account I guess.

Don't be afraid to ask for a backup account, by the way. Some accounts have lots of work.
incentives
AND if you maintain under 10% QA another 0.25 cpl back to the first line!!!!  They also have a great benefits package.
Pay better than most, no incentives, but
lots of OT available, 6 pd vacation days, a week PTO, get paid for down time, though there hasn't been any of that lately thankfully.   They provide all equip/software.  $500 sign-on bonus, $500 every year on anniversary.  QA fairly strict, minimum score 98.5. 
10cpl plus incentives
I have 13 yrs exp and with MQ I am getting 10cpl plus incentives but before my office closed, raises were given out all the time, all you had to do was asked. We were never given a yearly review, I learned that by calling every year, that was the way that I got a raise.-HMMM-maybe that is why my office was one of the ones to close
FOCUS INCENTIVES
Just found out after much prodding and after seeing a recruitment ad for Focus that they have put an incentive plan in effect for some employees and not others. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware.   
Focus incentives
Well, a while back I saw an ad from Focus trying to hire new MTs. It stated there were incentives being offered. I have worked for Focus for 9 months, no incentives, work weekends, eves, and holidays, too. Emailed office and asked. Was told they were discussing this. Kept prodding and emailing and find out tonight via email the MTs working on Netcare only will get incentives. Not sure what they will be or even have been.
MQ incentives/bonus SM

I was told the following:


$1,000 bonus after three months....have to meet standards (full time, 12,000 lines per pay).


$1,000 after three more months, same as above


Lines are 65 characters including spaces


14-18,000 lines in two weeks = .5 cpl bonus


18,001 -20,000 lines in two weeks = 1 cpl bonus


23,000+ lines in two weeks = 1.5 cpl bonus


Also...after 15,000 lines I get .5 cpl retroactively added to my original line count pay of 8 cpl.


Also...$50 bonus for anything over 20,000 lines


Let's hope this is all true...I'm not quitting my other job yet for them due to all of the bad press, I'll work two, the money will be nice for X-mas.


Spheris incentives?

Does anyone know if Spheris offers any incentives/bonuses?  Do they pay for spaces, headers and footers?  What is their base line rate range?



TIA!!


MDI incentives/holidays
Unfortunately there is no holiday pay/weekend pay. There are sometimes incentives offered when accounts get behind.
Incentives? Anyone who works there getting them?
I just read the ad and saw that they offer production-based incentives? I've worked there for a little while, and I have yet to hear anything about this. Does anyone get them? If so, what are they?
Incentives Which Companies Offer Them?
and which companies used to offer them but are changing their policy now?
Not even with incentives are you making .12 a line
It is impossible to make .16 a line at Transcend. Typing more than the max incentive of 23,000 lines per pay period will only add 1.5 cents per line.
Maybe since work is low they should offer some incentives..sm

Maybe offer more on their line rate.  Maybe that would keep people around since nobody can get their line counts in.  I am barely making it.  My house payment is 2 behind, my bills are behind....Just because I am TRYING to have faith in them and hope things will turn around.  I like the company and 95% of the people, but it is really getting hard - too hard to live with these little paydays.  I just hope something turns around fast.  Maybe the ones that really don't have faith in them will leave and there will be more work for the ones that have the faith. 


I am getting frustrated but I am hanging in there....
