TransTech is not less expensive than that...sm

Posted By: ndmt on 2009-01-28
In Reply to: Insurance - stressedout

my plan costs what you are paying now with the surcharge, but they have added a high deductible plan that is about 60% of the cost of a regular health plan.


I am getting a little desparate paying these premiums, too.  I hope you find something better.

Can someone please tell me how expensive Transtech insurance is.....sm
for self only?  low deductibles.
VERY expensive
I think it was almost $300/mo for single and much more for kids/family. No dental.

Have you looked to see if your state offers some kind of subsidized health plan for kids? There's one in my state and the income guidelines are quite generous and it was very easy to sign up for - downloaded the forms off the internet and sent them in. I would suggest you do a little research in that direction.

MQ has good benefits, but good luck to a newbie getting the 150 lph on those teaching hospital accounts that you'll need to maintain your benefits.
That is really expensive
for insurance. I could never afford that.
You have to buy a lot of very expensive
equipment - a $300 router, a special modem, and their special telephony equipment. They only do overflow work, accounts not too bad, but there are problems there.
Self-pay for me is less expensive
I work for Keystrokes but unfortuantely their group insurance is more for me than what I pay on my own. I am told it is because of the overall health status of the group involved. If you are healthy, have no preexisting medical conditions,take no medications, and do not smoke you will find that a private plan is more reasonable than a group plan where the majority enrolled are over weight, have chronic illnesses and take prescription medications. Another good reason to stay in shape girls. :)
Very expensive
COBRA is normally offered when your personal or job insurance is no longer active (ex: you quit your job, you were let go). The rates are generally high, there is a cost for others added on to your insurance, and I believe it is only good for 18 months. You may want to check with other medical insurance companies and compare pricing. If there are any pre-exisiting conditions, you will want to find out about the waiting period for that (normally 6 months) as long as you have been covered within the last 6 months. Hope this helps.
insurance 2 expensive?

Recently I was contacted by an agent of the company I work for and was told that basically they didn't know how much longer they could cover me on their insurance plan that I have been on for years.  I am having a bit of a problem changing insurance companies right now because of a chronic illness. I gather that their portion is too expensive although I have no confirmation of that.  Can they actually drop me off of their insurance for this reason?  I suppose they could always terminate me or push me out, giving no reason, their right, but I already know why.  Is this illegal or does it just fall under being a poorly run company?


I think their insurance is very very very expensive. nm

Unfortunately, no. The last job I had the COBRA was too expensive, so I did
not get it, and had about a 4-month lapse.
I guess India got too expensive.
Glad I quit.
I thought they were looking for less expensive plans

Yes!! I don't like the new insurance, more expensive and higher co-pay. nm

Psychiatric help is also expensive, but I think you should check into it anyway. nm

You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

There's 49 other states who are tired of hearing how expensive CA is. nm,

You sound like the "gambling is expensive" nutcase. nm
She's right above -- just go away.
Last time I talked with them, nothing had changed, insurance still way too expensive. nm
.
I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.


To Keystrokes employees: Has anyone heard anything about when a new, less expensive insurance (sm)
is starting?  I was told by a valid source it was to be February 1 but it apparently didn't happen then.  Has anyone else heard a different date?  TIA.
bad insurance, expensive & lousy line count
When Transform (in Wyo) started they used MDintouch which was great but with Vscript I spent more time waiting for new reports to open (because it would have to open Word EVERY SINGLE TIME instead of Word just staying open, and for them to finish sending. long reports were OK & you could make SOME lines/$$ but after 6 years I made less & less AND LESS until I quit because I would OWE on payday - yes, I was paying over $900 for really lousy insurance for hubby & I. I'm no slouch - being doing it for about 25 yr when I quit & typed about 110 wpm. So take no time to pound out a report but tooooo much time wasted waiting on things to grind up & download. HAS to be better offers...
Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm

For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month.  If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
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.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
The new exam is less expensive than the old exam was.
It used to be taken in two parts and believe me it was $150 per part. If you did not pass the first part, you could not take the second part so you had to take the first part and repeat the entire cost until you passed. To those folks who might not have passed the first part for several tries, it was expensive. I still consider $300 (the old price) high. Now, today's **I think** is only $150. The price is at the AAMT website but that is only half of what it used to cost and so much easier as far as location and not needing a proctor etc
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board.  I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie).  She is really a nice lady.  They have a M-F schedule listed.

Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions? 


TIA


TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made.  The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them.  If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too.  Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful.  The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work.  The "owner" is NOT moody.  The people are the finest in the industry.  They value their MTs.  The are awesome to work with and for.

I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me.  I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them).  I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate.  I always have work (an abundance of it!!).  TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy.  They have a very good QA team who are very helpful.  They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring.  TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer.  Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website:  http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html   Good luck in your job search.

They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs.  What is the story?


transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.

 Anyone have any info on TransTech.  I have an interview today.

Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech

Give Transtech a try.  I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for.  I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out.  I now work for TransTech and they are a great company.  You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be?  TIA.

Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there.  I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for.  Do they pay for spaces?  What is their average starting cpl?  TIA

I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it.  Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work.  It works for me !!
