Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
For me the family insurance...
is high compared to my husband's insurance, but then again, his insurance is AWESOME, so I did not need the coverage. This is based where I live, and I am in PA. Their vision IS better than my husband's though so I did get that, and the dental coverage is not bad either, but again, my husband's covers ortho whereas they do not. Overally, they do have good benefits compared to other companies I have worked for. HTH
How much is insurance for a family at TT

How much does insurance for family
coverage cost with Axolotl? I could not find anything on their web site that said.
Does anyone on here work for them that knows. Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a co. that has decent family insurance.
I cannot afford to stay working for the company I am presently with. Low to no work and the family insurance rates are over $700 a month. I have over 13 years of experience and I am hoping there is a company out there that rewards that with decent benefits.
Do you know what the insurance costs are?? family or single?
Thanks. Looking for a new job.
How much if family health insurance at these companies?

Transtech, SOAP, Futurenet, and Transolutions?


Do they include dental and/or vision with that?


Needing to make a choice and health insurance is the most important thing right now with 2 small children.


Thanks!


Does anyone know what the current family rate for insurance is with Keystrokes?
Im looking at comparison costs.
family plan insurance - which company has the best prices? sm
pathetic and true -- I'm basing my decisions on that :(  i just can't spend 1200 a month on insurance.  HELLLP.
$600 a month for family?? Yikes.. better pass. I need better insurance than that. Thanks

I am the sole insurance provider for my family and I work for TT
Unfortunately, I did not know about the rate, but I am staying to work more. I am not there for the warm fuzzies necessarily. It is nice. I am there because I can trust the boss to know who I am and that the boss will provide the lines for me to type so I can pay the higher rate. I am willing to work longer hours and stay. I could go elsewhere but I have been in every situation including hospitals where the boss is abusive. Believe me, there was not 1 place worth staying because I am here now. I am not sucking up, nor am I being kushy but as far as I know, this is the best choice for me and my family. I work at home, don't pay gas prices, get reimbursed for cable which is my commute, no one else does that. I don't have to buy clothes or lunches out because I work outside of the house. I don't have to pay for daycare because the boss worked with me and my scheduling needs. My goodness! They are not just warm fuzzy. They are business people who know that their profit goes up if the workforce is happy. Not their fault the cost of insurance goes up. Go talk to the insurance companies. Besides, I said several other times on here that this is not their final rate, they are working to come up with some other plan if possible.
So quit with the warm fuzzy business and make a check list of business facts of why this company is growing both in labor pool and clientelle. I am glad you are happy at your company but please don't speak for breadwinners of TT, because I do not like your speaking for me or about me. Thanks in advance.
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.
Anyone pay less than $800 a month for family insurance?? I work for a small MTSO
and it's not like I make a ton anyway, but the insurance is so high for my family. I feel like I'm just working for the insurance. My husband is self-employed so he obviously doesnt have insurance through his job to provide this so it is up to me and I'm dying here. Any suggestions? We have tried individual plans but it is a fortune for high deductible and yucky coverage. I need to maybe find a larger company to work for where the benefits are a little better.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Medware- Ballpark figure for cost of their family medical insurance. NM

The ad says they treat MTs like family ... what a family that must be! LOL nm

SW runs out of work
SW MQ office does run out of work.  Rarely but it does.
DSG runs out of work a lot...
nm
That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource.  After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house.  After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex.  So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
Spheris never runs out of work
I have never run out of work working for Spheris.

Platform runs too slow for my expander

Spell checker you have to provide.  Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed.  Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid.   Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise.  They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual.  Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not.  Good luck either way!


Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago.  She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing.  It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL

RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT

i couldn't take it and the crew that runs it? forgetaboutit. double horrid.
sorry you got screwed... go far far away from them. they dont' deserve you
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


BTW I work part time too. 


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.
The 2nd one was NOT family. Again, get your sm
facts straight.
Family

No ... not being catered to.  The company pays the same portion of my insurance for my family plan as it does for the employee who has no family.  With the new plan, for health and dental for myself and my family, I will be paying a grand total of $738.93 a month, which is down from $977.00 I was paying.  I hardly call $738.00 a month being catered too.  I'm just happy it came down.  The employee only rates are still very, very good from my point of view, and it does seem like it is really good coverage.


this is for family?

No family? sm
Then who is that cutie in the picture? 
You say family comes first?
All the love in the world goes out the window if you are hungry. Check and see just what are the basic needs. Love is not the first thing on the list.
family plan
Anyone know what the cost would be for a family plan?
family plan
I can't find the info they sent me...It should be here somewhere.  I'll look some more Sunday and see if I can find it. 
family plan
I've looked everywhere and can't find the initial info they sent.  Maybe someone else who has a family plan through MQ or at least can find their introductory info on the insurance plan can answer this.  Sorry! 
They do not pay anything on family coverage, IMO. That is why I would rather be an IC and buy

my own policy versus being an employee of a service.  When you think about it, being an employee for most of the services out there offers no real benefits at all.  I have found that the PTO that some of these companies offer as part of their benefits package is a crappy.  You basically get paid a base hourly rate for any PTO you take and that base rate never EVER equals what you actually make when typing.  So you are basically penalized for taking time off.


And health insurance benefit packages are a joke!  They pay nothing for family coverage and not to mention there is always the threat looming over your head that if your production falls, they can take your benefits away.


If I were you, I would either be an IC and buy your own policy or try to get on with a hospital that offers work at home MT jobs.  Hospitals are the only places that offer decent health insurance coverage for families.  I have my own accounts and bought a health insurance policy for my kids and I, but recently I took a job with a hospital just for the insurance.  So now I have my own accounts plus I work FT for a hospital from home.  I pay $175 a month for family coverage with a $1000 family deductible.  It was financially a smarter move for me to go to work as an employee with the hospital because I'm saving a bundle on insurance.


Again, let me say, I would NEVER go back to work as an employee for a service.  They don't offer anything that I would consider benefits.  You're better off buying your own policy.


If you are single and have no family

go for it.   My situation was a bit different in that I wasn't running out of work, just testing the waters.  I applied to about a dozen companies, offered positions with each, took 3 positions to figure which I liked best.  I had worked for a small local company for 13 years as my only experience so was really clueless.   I found it really difficult to switch from the various accounts and scheduling became a nightmare because I really had no clear-cut hours or line counts.  It got to where I wasn't doing a good job, just doing the lines and not caring about the product, plus I was screaming at my son for bothering me while I was trying to work.  Just wasn't worth it. 


 


 


Single or family? nm
