That's a cross to bear with most co's...sm

In Reply to: Nice people there. Depends on what platform. sm - If it's their online one, slow.

This demographic BS, looking up Dr's names, addresses, CCs aud nauseum, etc, etc, is just another sample of MT exploitation we have to deal with these MTSOs, and they practically all do it....ironically, it's the demos/unpaid duties that QA gives you the most flack about.  (The client wants it just so ....if he wants it just so...means client is paying for this service, while we get to do it GRATIS.  They really think we're that dumb ,not to know the difference between paid work and voluntary work, our our gift to their stockholders.

You also need to bear in mind that
even though the new job says they have more than enough work to keep you busy, that might not be the case.  It has been my experience that rarely is it true these days that the work is bountiful and abundant ANYWHERE.  That's why so many of us juggle 2, 3, and 4 part-time gigs. You really should try to hang onto both till you know for certain.   
u r right, they are a bear to get: LINE THIEVES
The overtime is offered to make up for the lines they steal on some accounts trying to entice people to stay I guess. Forget it.
Please just bear with us a while. Lots of new hires (sm)
who have lots of questions and this will calm down soon.

Kind of happens anytime a company starts a new account or hires on a lot for whatever reason.


"if you can't bear that, find another job".

Thanks for the advice about reading further down, but I couldn't bear
to read any further than I unfortunately did.  Yes, GB and Cindy MT have a right to their opinion but this thread went beyond that to down right vindictive, mean and angry.  All I meant is we all don't need to read this kind of stuff right now with the way things are.  One size doesn't fit all, so if it doesn't fit, move on.  The kind of anger displayed in this thread can only be destructive and not a benefit to anyone.  Obviously, there are some happy at TT or they would be out of business, as with MQ and other MTSOs.  This post went way beyond opinions, at least constructively!
somebody must be taking it or it wouldn't be offered - whatever the market will bear, ya know--

BARE BONES. Not bear need a spell check!

cross training
Please call me and I will see what I can do to help you out.
I got one and used it to try out my new cross-cut shredder.

Worked great!


Cross-eyed from VR
Okay, here is my spill about VR. The way VR is sold to the MTSO is that it is going to be wonderful and save them money. That may be true, because of course they are now paying the MT less per line which means the MT has to do more lines to make the same amount of money. When an MT used to produce 1000 lines a day, she now has to produce 1300. No matter what they say, VR is entirely different than transcribing. It is like playing a piano when someone has messed up the notes on your sheet music and you have to keep up with the band while transposing the notes and playing the correct ones when the wrong ones are written. It is very hard on the eyes and the brain, and is NOTHING like transcribing. If anything, they should pay us MORE as we never get into any zone, can never close and rest our eyes, and basically it is a miserable brain drain. Sometimes I feel like telling them it is like trying to ride a bike with two flat tires -- and you get paid by the mile. Because we refused to unionize we are sunk. To anyone who will listen: Go back to school, MTing is like being on the Titanic.
So, why don't they just cross train?? NM

Yes, per year and it's Blue Cross also.

Cross your eyes and your toes too. :-) The only
than I read but once you get used to it and it learns your particular account, you should be able to do OK with it.  It's picking up more and more all the time, less things you have to fix on certain worktypes but I look at it as job insurance, not displacement.  No matter how they tout this thing, it'll never replace us completely.  And it's good for a laugh now and then. 
TransTech has Blue Cross nm

Acusis has Blue Cross.

If you find a company to cross-train in
can you please post the name of the company. I have been wanting to get into radiology. I probably know more than I think I do. However, radiology and medical records transcription were done in separate parts of the hospital, so never got to practice what I learned.

thanks
I'd have to third that motion. In this biz, I never burn bridges I may have to cross later or sta
on. I do my best to work both until I see how it will work. Trust me, I have seen in only a day if there was potential or not at a new job. You get a feel for support, difficulty of work types, and overall general feel of what this new place is like.  Besides that, when I first came home to do transcription and had to give notice, as this is what i had one previously in the outside world. Boy was I shocked when after giving my 2 weeks notice I found out I was locked out of the account. Apparently, my 2 weeks notice ended NOW....so beware and be cautious.  
I'm fine with the coverage - Blue Cross - sm
and somethings are covered w/o going into your deductible. Copays are $20; drug plan; mammos, Paps covered free. However, lab work falls into the out of pocket going to your deductible; ugh.

I love the dental through MetLife.
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Heck, I don't care what it costs. It's Blue Cross, sm
accepted everywhere in my area.  Only one of my docs was in the preferred tier with the last insurance and I didn't want to switch so I just paid out of my pocket. I only have myself and the rate is cheaper for me.
I have a single plan with Affordablue with Blue Cross for $184/month. sm

Not sure about the pre-existing conditions clause -- might be a 3 or 6 month waiting period.   I have a $25 co-pay for office visits (5 per year), but $1000 deductible.  If you're relatively healthy and just need well visit checks, it is ideal, but not sure about your situation. 


I did find a site:  www.healthinsurancesort.com that might help you.


Good luck! 


Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental.  Hope this helps.     
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
I think it starts at 90 days; Blue Cross Blue Shield. Delta dental. nm
.
Any companies have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance? sm
I am an IC looking for a new job as an employee- need healthcare bad!  Due to a pre-existing condition, Blue Cross has been the only company that will insure me so looking to get them again.  Anyone know of companies that have this?
i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
