Welcome to Keystrokes :-) I have single coverage on the insurance sm

Posted By: LTMT on 2009-07-01
In Reply to: Keystrokes employees, could I ask some questions? sm - NEMT

so I cannot really answer your question about the family plan, but no one had responded, so I at least wanted to say hello.  I have medical ($1000 deductible), vision, and dental for $129.86 per pay period for single coverage.  I'm glad you cleared that up about the license thing because that threw me!  (smile).


I do not know what the percentage of ESLs is on my acccount.  It is a Meditech/C-phone count, and the lines are not really difficult to obtain.  The only problem I have is me ... can't seem to find my focus lately.  :(


Good luck!

How is the single coverage/premium at Keystrokes
nm
Keystrokes' insurance was not canceled. They are looking for better rates and coverage sm
in more states as Unicare is not in every state. I have Unicare with them and while it is a little on the high side IMO, it is less than what my husband's non-MT job offers for our family of 5.

They are not working on it long after their insurance is canceled. They are working to change, which can be done at any time although preferably at the beginning of a year or quarter.

And by the way, your grapevine is not that great. You should check facts before posting something that makes it look like they don't have any insurance.
Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
How much are single insurance rates???? Webmedx, Axolotl, Keystrokes, TT, Transend?
Thanks for the info!
That's not bad for single, but I really need family coverage.
Anyone know what these companies preminums are like for family coverage.. Thanks.
Single coverage at TH for medical is $52 a mo and add in sm
vision and dental takes it up to around $70, which is the most reasonable I have seen.
Probably pay 50% of single coverage and you pay the difference.

I love working for TH. I only have single coverage
but it is very affordable and is excellent coverage. I do not know what it is for family coverage but I know that the single coverage runs about half the cost of other companies. They are an awesome company.
BC/BS - single is reasonable and good coverage...
Family is outrageously expensive. I know they are trying to change it, but still expensive.
I have single coverage - affordable - but don't know about family. Call them.

I pay about $150 a month for single coverage, medical, dental, sm
vision, $750 deducible, $15 copay for PCP, $30 copay for PPO specialist.  Hope that helps.
I pay approximately $113 per pay period for single coverage, $1000 deductible.
Hope this helps.
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks
I did not take the insurance coverage - already had it. nm

Did MDI-FL ever change their insurance coverage? SM
I was told by the owner several months ago that she was looking for a cheaper policy for their medical coverage. 
Health Insurance Coverage
Anyone know of any companies that offer health insurance with a company other than Aetna.  Aetna is probably great insurance for most people but almost no preferred providers in my area.  Would like to find Blue Cross and Blue Shield or United Health Care.
When does insurance kick in? How much is single
nm
I have the insurance, single plan..I did NOT know..(sm)
there was dental and eye!  Are you sure about that?  How did I miss that? 
Single insurance rate
I work at Diskriter, and I pay 145.00 a month for single coverage. Dental is 14 extra per month, and vision is free for single.
group insurance usually has a broader coverage
than individual, or so I have been told. 
Do you know what the insurance costs are?? family or single?
Thanks. Looking for a new job.
Ok, the single gal who works here says that her insurance costs sm
64 dollars a pay period and that is for Blue Cross/Blue Shield Gold Plan, vision, and dental which is all combined and pretty darned cheap.

Webmdx, Diskriter: How much is single insurance?
nm
The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
I actually hope that they don't change, but I know that it is a big hassle for the office because they are in the middle. Too big to be individual coverage rates and too small for the best rates. I talked with the HR manager, and she told me that the rates they were given for one company tripled once all the worksheets were in. They based the price on the worst case scenario or worst health. Now they can get a flat rate but only if half of the FT employees sign up. I could here the frustration in her voice when I was talking to her. Insurance companies do not always play fair.
Axolotl insurance. They have great rates but what is the coverage
like?  Can anyone tell me what insurance company they use and what your experience has been?  TIA
Webmedx insurance question - coverage for self and spouse? (sm)

I saw posts regarding 1,000 and 2,000 deductible.  Is this the difference between BCBS gold and silver plan?  Also do they have a category for just yourself and spouse  or is it just family.  Since family could include umpteen children, I would think there would be a cheaper class for just you and spouse? 


Not eligible for quite a while and haven't receive info yet from company. Just trying to make sure this will work for us or if I need to seek different employment.  We will be needing me to cover us as hubby is retiring soon.



TIA


Re MedScribe in Fla. Can anyone share insurance info for emp/spouse coverage? SM

I am especially interested in rate, copays, deductible, and prescription coverage, if possible.  Thanks very much!


 


Does anyone know what DeVenture offers in terms of insurance for famly coverage, costwise?
Thanks
Can anyone tell me the insurance cost for Amphion per month or pay period? I am a single mother
with 2 children under age 10.  I know you can't give me the exact amount, but anything you can tell me would be great!  I have asked the recruiter but have not heard back as of yet and weighing my options.  TIA!!
Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....

I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.


 


Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet.  Any infor or recommendations appreciated ... 


Thanks!

You might want to check it out because I don't think KS is offering benefits any longer, I believe after the first of the year they went to IC status only.  But it could be a case-by-case basis, who knows.


I work for TransHealth and they have pretty good benefits, medical, life, dental and vision, PTO, sick days, and paid holidays, and direct deposit, and they do not hold anything back or do you have to wait to get paid like you do with some companies you have to wait a month before you get your first paycheck, or 3 weeks, with TH, I was paid like 10 days later for training, as well as, my money was in the bank when they said it was going to be there.  I like TH very much, nice company to work, for me.  TH is looking for MTs and I think they had a QA opening as well.  I would apply to TH if you need benefits.  Mine are very inexpensive, and there was no waiting period either, I started like September 15th, and my insurance was in effect on October 1st. 


Keystrokes insurance

Can someone give me details on the type and price of insurance available at Keystrokes.  Am thinking of applying with them in the near future but need insurance info as that would make my decision for me.  Price for family or employee/spouse, office visits covered with copay, prescriptions, etc.


Thanks for any information you may be able to give me.


 


 


Keystrokes Insurance
Has there been any change in Keystrokes health insurance yet? I need to know if they have gotten new coverage, how much it costs and how long does it take to get on it. Thanks for any info.
Keystrokes insurance
I was wondering if anyone who works for Keystrokes can email me privately or over this forum as to what their insurance costs per month.  Also, how is the coverage, etc?  Thanks!
Keystrokes insurance

This company's actions in this matter are simply disgraceful.  I was made to feel that I was the ONLY one in the company distressed over the inadequate insurance offerings.  When I received the AFLAC brochures, I trashed them.  Supplemental insurance is useless to those without comprehensive primary coverage.  Their excuses get more creative each time I inquire (i.e., The reason we can't get better coverage is because most of our employees are women...; most of our employees are married and covered already so they don't even CARE about insurance...; yada yada yada...).


So...while they continue to explore the options, and promise us weekly that things are almost finalized, many of us are just hoping to stay well.  In 2007 I was told that the only oustanding issue was whether office visits would cost $20 or $30.  Shame on them.


I'm at least relieved to know I'm not alone here.

Has anybody heard if there is any chance that we will be offered more affordable insurance? I love this company, but the insurance rates are killing me.

Please, I didn't mean to start another war. I just wanted to know about the cost of their insurance. Anyone working there have an answer to my question? I would really appreciate this as it will decide whether I even go through their testing process. Any useful information? Thanks

Keystrokes - Health Insurance
I think I remember that Keystrokes is supposed to be getting new health insurance that will be less expensive.  Can any Keystrokes employees tell me what is going on with that?  Do you have it yet?  How much is it a month?  I am considering a job at Keystrokes but I need the health insurance benefit, preferably low cost.  Thanks for replying.
What about Keystrokes insurance, is it reasonable?

Did Keystrokes ever get the new health insurance? NM

Just wondering.


Keystrokes Health Insurance
For single coverage:
$202 a month with $2500 deductible.

$251.30 a month with $1000 deductible
Keystrokes insurance vs mine
I just saw the post below on Keystrokes insurance. Count you blessings guys. My company's health insurance is only around $100/pay, family $900, but get this. The deductible is $5000 single/$10,000 for family, and if you have family coverage, the $10,000 must be met before anyone is eligible for coverage. This company does not really expect anyone to buy this insurance. This is insane. You are better off just to pay your own way, and take your chances. I pay $20 a month on my hospital bill, and there is nothing they can do as long as I am making payments. I don't know what else to do. I have lots of health issues and worry every day.
Is Keystrokes the beneficiary for the life insurance they pay for?
If so, I'd be a bit careful
Keystrokes is hiring. Can anyone tell me how much for their medical insurance benefits etc...
I am looking for a FT job with good medical benefits for either myself or family coverage. They are seeking ortho MTs and that is right up my alley. Thanks in advance for any help.
Does anyone know what the current family rate for insurance is with Keystrokes?
Im looking at comparison costs.
To Keystrokes employees: Has anyone heard anything about when a new, less expensive insurance (sm)
is starting?  I was told by a valid source it was to be February 1 but it apparently didn't happen then.  Has anyone else heard a different date?  TIA.
Does anyone know how long it takes before you qualify for insurance at Keystrokes? nm
