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.

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.
!60-180 a month is average for decent coverage.
Remember to multiply what you have taken out every 2 weeks by 26 or twice a month by 24, then divide by 12 and you will see what you really pay.

I believe they have several to choose from - affordable and decent coverage, IMO

Are there ANY companies out there that actually offer decent family medical coverage??
Some are just downright ridiculous amounts. Right now, I am with a company that offers decent single coverage but the family is like $750 a month and I cannot just work for insurance. There has to be something left over to like....eat on... or pay bills. Any suggestions out there. I do have over 13 years of experience.
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.
group insurance usually has a broader coverage
than individual, or so I have been told.
Welcome to Keystrokes :-) I have single coverage on the insurance sm
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! 
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.
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
Any of the former or current employees, can you make decent money there?
Thanks
Umm - decent insurance? - nm

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!
Who has decent health insurance?
I just got notice from TransHealth that they are changing our (already sucky) insurance in two weeks to an even suckier plan. I cannot afford a $1000 deductible. If I had that lying around, I wouldn't need to work!!!
Is there any company out there with a decent FAMILY healt insurance plan that won't cost $1000 a month in premiums?? I have 10+ years of acute care and multispecialty experience with 99% accuracy. Why can't I insure my family!?
Does anyone know what DeVenture offers in terms of insurance for famly coverage, costwise?
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.
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!
Diskriter--Anyone know if they have decent insurance rates for their employees??
Any help is appreciated.
BC/BS - single is reasonable and good coverage...
Family is outrageously expensive. I know they are trying to change it, but still expensive.
Dental is thru Metlife (good coverage). sm
Platform is their own, uses ShortHand for expander.
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Thanks.. I really needed to have good family coverage.. I guess MDI is out for me.. nm

No, not Humana. It's First Health. Pretty good coverage.

Does anyone know what the current family rate for insurance is with Keystrokes?
Im looking at comparison costs.
The pay was decent and everything was good except
I never knew how much work I would have - sometimes too much and sometimes not enough. That was a while back, though.
Who are the good companies that do ASR and pay a decent rate?
I have been an MT a long time - 19 yrs and I am interested in learning ASR, but I need to get informed and rate, companies, realist expectations on lph, etc. If you can help me out and share your knowledge, I would really appreciate it. TIA. I am going to try to line my e-mail in here, so you can e-mail me if you would like.
Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
From what I remember not very long. They are flexible, pay is decent, good dictators,
I have never had any problem with them.
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
Spheris supes/QA are good, insurance not good; they offshore
nm
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
When I find decent people who know the value of decent wages, I will!
tyvm
Thanks. Can you make any decent pay with them and are the accounts decent. What is your feeling
that. Thank you.
OSI, any CURRENT information, good, bad??? TIA nm
.
Of course it's good to get a current MT's perspective
.
Any current information on Interpro- good or bad. Thanks
nm
ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
Insurance not good
I work for Spheris and I have had their insurance for the past 2 years. In that time i have never been to the doctor. However, I have a history of breast cancer and was told I would not be covered as far as getting mammograms. Also the deductible is 3000. So, I will just have to go without insurance.
Pay and health insurance good.
Some of the QA who work for Precyse are the finest people this side of heaven. I couldn't keep up with my lines and what I had typed, so I moved on. Overall, a good company and they handle a lot of Baptist accounts with people you can understand.
How much is the insurance, is it good, affordable?
I really need insurance and don't want to apply if it is not affordable.
Re: Diskriter. How good is the insurance and what's
nm
They pay half and it is really, really good insurance. nm

Does anyone know of any GOOD, reasonably priced, health insurance?- sm
I would love to find a good health insurance company that I can purchase independently. I LOVE the company I work for but unfortunately they do not offer health benefits. I greatly want to stay with them, but in need of some serious health insurance. Does anyone know of a plan that I could look into that is reasonably priced? Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated since one trip to the ER could make a huge bill....Thanks!
