Do you mean to say you have medical insurance etc??
Thanks for any information.
Medical Insurance

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a company that has medical insurance for its employees.  The company I work for now has just screwed us on the medical insurance and I am looking elsewhere.  Thanks. NM


Medical Insurance

I just want to remind everyone that the insurance coverage with a a company is very important, especially when single.  Do ask about the deductible.  Due to medical crisis, I faced 10 grand in medical bills which only added more stress to a very stressful situation.  And, that basically takes 10 thousand off my yearly income. 


Good insurance coverage means so much, especially when there is not a secondary ins. in place.


Just wanted to share this.  :)


I don't take the medical insurance either BUT
Their other benefits are phenomenal.  They provide LTD, STD, flexible spending account, 401K with match and they pay your vision insurance for the family.  They have an awesome PTO rate and you get paid for downtime IF you run out of work, which doesn't happen very often.  I can't remember the last time I was out of work.
Is the NWU offering medical insurance again?
I had great insurance at a great rate through them years and years ago, then they dropped it because the cost was prohibitive. If they are offering it again, I applaud them. They are a good union and very unconfrontational, well spoken (guess that's a mute point, eh?) but still don't have the big bucks it would take to promote the MT industry on the level that is needed. Almost every American MT would need to join and NWU would need to find a lobbying group to help.

Employee Medical Insurance
Are there any national companies that pay the full premium for employee medical coverage or is this only offered if you work outside the home?  Thanks.
That is so NOT the purpose of medical insurance. nm

How are the medical insurance rates?
Did they go up too? They were interested in me a couple of months ago, but I did not call them because I had already picked someone else. I know they are great, but did their insurance rate for employee and children, or family go up like everyone else? I am considering contacting them again. Although I don't want to change jobs at all, if their rates are good I won't have to spend most of my paycheck on medical. Please someone let us know here. It is an important issue!
So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
They don't pay for vision unless you have medical insurance.
When I first started they paid for vision, but unless you get medical coverage it is no longer free, unless it changed with the enrollment that is going on now. 
Medical insurance isn't about feelings. It's business. nm

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.
How is Transcend/MDI's medical insurance plan for employees?
Thanks
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Thanks for your honest reply. Unfortunately, I have also worked in the medical insurance billing
side of it and I see how our prices go up and how the insurance companies pay the doctors less and less, yet these insurance carriers gouge people with their ridiculuous preminums. I understand insurance companies having to raise rates due to skyrocketing health care costs but the kicker is the insurance companies are only allowing a fraction of the billed charges anyway. If they were actually paying out all these claims at full, I could understand the rise in preminums. Well good luck to you and do not think about it, pooping blood does not sound healthy at all and would call for a colonscopy and then a huge bill and then another rise in your preminum.  Vicious cycle I tell ya.
Isnt their family medical insurance kind of high. I think that is
why I passed on them previously and they only wanted to pay 7.5 cpl for 12 years of experience.
Survey - What type of medical insurance does your company offer?
Just curious about which company you work for and what type of medical insurance they offer.  HMO, PPO?  Cheap or expensive for you?
I agree. As medical insurance biller/coder/transcriptionist
I agree with the other poster. You're better off going with a group plan than on your own. Largely, because you pay the same premiums across the board as everyone else on your plan. When your on your own individual plan, I was scared to use my or have a new diagnosis because come renewal time, your premiums are adapt to go up staggering and there is nothing to can do about it, other than drop them and then you are in a worst situation. Yes, group insurance premiums usually go up every year but it's nothing like what will happen to if your on your own. Also, you do get a contracted adjustment based on your insurance's contracted allowable rate. Say your visit is $100 and the contracted rate/allowable through the insurance is $75, that means the doctor has to write off that $25 according to their contract.
Is there anyone else struggling to get the lines needed at Transcend for medical insurance? sm
Or is it just me??  TIA
MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
Heard Keystrokes was getting better benefits, medical insurance etc.. Anyone care to elaborate? I
ready for a change.
Transolutions? Anyone know how good their medical insurance benefits are, costs, etc..specifically
family coverage. They say you only have to work 32 hours to be eligible so I'm curious what their benefits are like. Thanks
Medware- Ballpark figure for cost of their family medical insurance. NM

Zylomed North Florida, Inc....is this the same as Zylomed?

And does anyone have any current info on them...do they hire IC?  Thanks!


401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
The insurance plan in my opinion is excellent insurance. I am not sure if it will change when it'
time to renew or not. I really hope not but I know that a lot of companies change every year in an effort to keep costs down because most insurance companies start raising rates after you have been with them a year. The insurance is Great West and they also have excellent dental and vision plans. I believe the cost is less than $70 a pay period for the employee.
Insurance sucks compared to my old insurance... sm
The insurance seems like they don't want to cover anything, even simple prescriptions I used to pay 4 or 10 dollars on I now pay 20 to 43 dollars.  I like the company/people so far, just don't like the insurance.
Zylomed

Any info on Zylomed in Naples Fl (not the North Fla one).  Was offered a job there.  Got mixed reviews in the archives but not sure which one was being reviewed. You can email me directly. Thanx.


Zylomed

Any info on this company, good or bad?  I am considering a position with them.  Thanks.


ZyloMed
Thanks for responding. How would this affect my working for them (sending offshore)?
ZyloMed
Thanks. I have decided against them now for more than one reason. I think they were a little too anxious to hire; they seemed desperate almost.
Zylomed

Get your facts straight before you post!  Zylomed does not offshore now and only did as the previoiusly poster said one small account and then the Indians could not even do it, so they gave up the account.


Zylomed is an EXCELLENT company to work for.  They have nice managers, and the owner Susan Sumner is by far one of the nicest women I have ever worked for in this industry.  They are a good company, they pay on time, and always have work, and when they do not the Lead MT who is over everyone makes sure that there is work to go round.  I speak from experience, as I worked for them part time, for about a year, and found them to be honest, upfront, and nice people.  They have lots of radiology.  I was sorry that I ever left, but had a family illness.


zylomed
I just started working for them and everyone is nice,helpful and polite and pay was on time. I would go for it.
Zylomed

Anybody know if Zylomed hires employees or just IC, and if employees do they provide health insurance? Thanks! TC


ZyloMed
Any info on ZyloMed? TIA
zylomed
I have been working for them for about 3 months.   It is a good company.  Pay is twice a month and automatically deposited and on time.   Good QA, system easy to learn.  People are nice.  If there is anything else you need to know let me know. 
Zylomed
Any current info available?  Do they offer health insurance. TIA. 
Zylomed
Great company. Very happy there. I only do radiology so cannot speak for other accounts.
Zylomed
Does anyone know about the Zylomed Transcription Service in Florida, are they a good company to work for, any information would help. Thanks - Alice
zylomed
I need some feedback/info on zylomed, are they any good?
Zylomed

I am in need of information on Zylomed out of Florida - good, bad or indifferent.


Zylomed

Never see much about Zylomed.  Does anyone know anything about them?


Thanks in advance.


Zylomed
Zylomed sent me their foot pedal and I have been on the phone for training - always with a problem that arises.  I have literally sat in front of my computer screen for 3 hours this afternoon waiting to hear from an IT person so that I can get on with my training.  Has anyone else had this experience?  Anyone know anything about this company.  I passed their test - which is why I got a call in the first place.  I was told that they had no idea when someone would contact me - maybe again on Monday - yikes!!!!!  Should I run now or later?
Zylomed

I will be doing an orthopedic and neurology account. The IT person called me this morning and when I finish my work for the other company I am working for he is going to help me - I have experienced some sort of problem with every company that I have worked for - in fact, when I lived in SC and worked for the local hospital there - it took me almost a month to get set up and going.
Zylomed
I have received two e-msils from Jim. He wants to call tomorrow, but now I am having second thoughts. He contacted me about rad work. It pays quite well, should I be worried? Has anyone done rad work for them? Please let me know so I know whether to take his call or not tomorrow.

I too had an unfortunate experience with them. I was very happy working for them for one year. Had two ESL's that I found easy to do eventually. The docs were very pleased with my work.

Then, I relocated and took some time off. When I came back, was told there wasn't enough work for me and was terminated that day. NO NOTICE, nothing. In addition, I have yet to receive my COBRA papers so I have no insurance. I have called them upteen times (Kelly is in charge of this and never returns calls)and now turned it over to the FL Dept of Labor. I hated doing this, but felt I had no recourse. Kelly blames the payroll people. Could be they are the problem, but no one is taking care of it.

And, I know what you mean about Jim. I thought he and I were friends (exchanged email jokes, etc), but he won't take my calls either. Jon, the IT guy is the best! Sad sad situation. Very disappointing.

I will be working with ATSI (radiology only) as they use the same platform. Anyone familiar with them?
ZyloMed

Anybody work for ZyloMed or know anything about them?


Zylomed
I was hired as an IC - sent a footpedal and their IT person could not get the platform to work - so they called and told me that I was fired - to which I responded they couldn't fire me because I was an IC and had never formally done any work for them. In looking further - the footpedal was broken - clipped/broken wires - this was their loss (15 years experience) not mine - glad I saw their true colors sooner than later. Check them out thoroughly before going with them.
ZyloMed
anyone familiar with Zylomed transcription company?
