More elderly would have health problems than young people... sm

Although anyone can be sick... yes, this slants the bias against older Americans.

You must be very young and your wish list
seems very unrealistic. I think a matched 401k is great and something we all need. You seem to want a lot, what are you giving back to the company for all the wishes? A dedicated employee, one who supports the company and doesn't backbite, one who works any and all OT when they need help? Why do MTs feel they deserve anymore than what they agree to when they take a job? I hope you can find all you wish, but I think it's a fantasy in reality.
You sound really young.
I can overlook your statements on that account.
Jan, you sound very, very young. sm
Also, I didn't know Xanax made people abstain from alcohol. LOL!!!
Hun! How young are you. How long you been MT'ing.
I know it is possible, but I can promise you as the years keeping on passing you will slow down...16-17 hours a day for 6 days a week? What life?
No, I'm not that young, but I am a newbie. Thank you for the info.
.
I beg ur pardon, young lady!
I was NOT being sarcastic! Medquist truly IS my best company - my previous company paid $9/hr. and at the Q I make $25 - U may open mouth and insert foot now, missy!
3000 each day? Wish I was young again-LOL - good for you!

If they point, I suppose she's young.

Yeah, and she's probably young and cute too! LOL (nm)

Grandchildren keep me young. I have had 2 FT this summer (sm)
and occasional trips to town for teenaged grandson who has stayed at home this summer. Sometimes it is hectic and I feel stressed getting my hours/lines in, but then I take my mother to the Senior Center and watch all those people with so little to occupy their time and I feel really lucky.

During school year the 2 youngest still catch the bus here and come here after school. I am able to adjust my schedule so I can attend school functions/lunches during the day if their mom can't.

There may be a lot of problems with MT work anymore, but these are the reasons I and many other stay with it.


I'm afraid I'm 2 young 4 andropause, missy!

"making some young white hotshot"

Wow....and I thought I had issues!    


I worked for a guy who owned a landscape nursery who was just like that though...He was younger than most everyone there and couldn't have weighed 90 pounds soakin' wet AND he had to look up at all of us (barely made 5 feet!)...it was so hard to keep a straight face when he got all upset and pissy over something.  You'd never see him walking around his domain to keep an eye on things...uh oh.  He'd be tooling around in his Bobcat shouting orders from over a bullhorn.  Oh my god it was a riot! 


To be fair to the above poster, $11/hour gross is kinda low though, so I can see how someone would be tweeked at that. 


 


There are young children who have hearing issues
from babies on up. Why do you think this is age discrimination and why would you say sue?
Thank you, I am young. Do NOT drink alcohol if you take Xanax, dummy..
MT advanced to a recruiter, LMAO !

They snowballed you. The owner is a young man who inherited the business. sm
He has no transcription background, although that does not always matter.

Most of their accounts are Meditech. They are fairly small, with about 80 MT's.

No negative feedback on them so far, which is always a plus.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances.  It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company.  They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!!  Never seen anything like it before.
You are right about the health
insurance, it is not very good.
get health ins
You can join your local chamber of commerce and get a group rate or check what your state has for the uninsured.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
Entente Health?
Has anyone heard of Entente Health? 
Does anyone have any information on HIP (Health
Information Partners)?  Consistent work?  Good platform?  Anything else?  Thanks in advance!!
Do you know how much your health insurance is? sm
I applied today and took the online test.  I am confident I did well.  I am sure, though, there are a lot of others doing the same.  I was just wondering how much health insurance cost monthly.  Do you get paid by the line or by the hour?  Are they pretty fair? 
Health Insurance
I'm also looking to Webmedx.  I was wondering if you, or someone else out there, might have an idea what the cost of health insurance for family would be.  Thank you!
TT health insurance

Are any of you taking out the insurance. I just started in October with the big hire, and should be eligible February 1, 2007, right? Anybody know.


I have also been curious about the PTO time accrued.


Does anyone know the new Health Ins rates?

Trying to decide


Health Information First, LLC
Hi, does anyone have any experience with this company out of Maryland?  I just tested with them.
Is the health insurance

a good policy. Is the premium super high.


 


HEALTH BENEFITS
ABOUT 340 PER MONTH, BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD. THEY ARE STABLE BENEFITS FOR SURE.
health insurance
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what companies give a pretty good rate for health insurance?  Thanks!
IC, what do you do about health insurance. sm
It is way expensive on the outside if you know what I mean.
MDI-MD have health insurance for MTs?
I'm in their site and I can't find mention of benefits anywhere?
I'm a new hire for the Occ Health...
account too. I am looking forward to getting started with them, as I have heard so many good things. In the meantime, I'm enjoying this weekend, preparing my desk, computer, etc. getting ready to get set up, and taking some time for myself to relax and enjoy some downtime (hoping that we'll have PLENTY of work soon enough).

I would like to know about the health benefits (cost) for a single parent and one child. I wonder how much health bennies will be just to get an idea as to what to plan for.

I hope to meet up with the new hires on the Occ Health account so we can help each other out if stuck, etc.

I am so excited!!! Hope to meet you all real soon!


health insurance
Amen to everything that has been posted on this ongoing subject. I too have heard promises of new insurance over and over for the past couple years.

What's worse is that employees had to answer personal questions in a phone interview for insurance that never materialized.

And why was that AFLAC phone conference manditory? After reading through the materials they sent in the mail, I already knew I didn't want to waste my money on supplemental insurance.

Finally, if KS can't find better/cheaper health insurance, why can't they at least start paying for a portion of the premiums on the current insurance plan??

These are all questions that will probably go unanswered.
health insurance
I have had a gap, I was covered through end of November. I have been on meds, but there are some plans that define PEC as receiving treatment i.e. seeing a doctor, and just being on meds continuously doesn't count (Premera plans typically work this way). I have an offer from a company with a Premera plan that has a 3 month PEC so I am fine on that one. But with that company I can't afford to cover my spouse ($400/month paycheck deduction for him, $66 paycheck deduction for me).
health insurance
I am aware of this, that is why I am trying to look into all possibilities for now and also a couple years down the road. May have to keep a day job for a couple years while doing IC part time or something.
But I do know of a couple companies so far that will take a well-educated newbie that offer benes, and I am also starting to figure out what my goal companies are for later, from people's feedback.
Everyone's feebback is invaluable on this subject, for me and other newbies who have this question.
NEED HEALTH INSURANCE!

Isn't life a joy!  Thought I was going through menopause and it turns out I'm pregnant!  I've been with my current employer for 6 years, they have the worst insurance I've ever seen in my life.  Does anyone know of any companies that are currently hiring with half way decent health insurance, maybe a deductible that won't bankrupt me!??


health insurance?
Does anyone know of a company with good health insurance benefits that won't cost an arm and a leg to pay for?
How soon can one get health benefits with them?
I am looking for a company that has dental coverage without the $1000 annual limit in payouts.
IC Health Insurance

I will be starting 2 new IC positions soon and am looking into healthcare options, as hubby and I absolutely need this.  If you are willing to share the info pumpernickel, I would like to hear more about how/where you obtained healthcare,costs, etc.  Please feel free to email me


MDI - Health INsurance
yes but will they ever offer health benefits and PTO?
Health plan
Guess they will wake up when it happens to one of their parents, grandparents, or themselves.  Won't they be surprised.
Her words were to see how their health is
was. I never saw the statement about age in her statement at all.

As far as that goes, again sickness, ill health and death are not only played out in older people. I see absolutely nothing wrong with a company, especially as she was stating, in a high income category wanting to know about a person's health if it is their policy and you want to be hired. there. I find nothing in her statement that even hints at any kind of discrimination.

I am looking for family coverage.

Great people there, good pay, and always have work.  What more could you want!

regarding spheris health insurance
hi,

thanks for the reply, but my questions is yesterday i got interviwed. The recruiter told me that the family insurance will be 202 for every two weeks and the money goes from our pay check only it looks more cost for insurance and excluding dental and vision is that everyone is getting the same insurance offer from Spheris for family or it depends on plan.
