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.


Family coverage
is about $217 per pay period. I think you have to get this one if you have more than one child.
Yes they have family coverage

but I do not need that right now.  I have a schedule but they are flexible hours so that really helps.  Pay does include all spaces, but what I like is the direct deposit and the steady work.  I have been with Medware for 2 years and always have work.  If my primary is out they give you a back up account.  Finally my income meets my needs and I can move ahead with some things around the house that needed fixing.  Plus it's nice knowing I have good health insurance.


WMX has best overall family coverage
I absolutely agree 1000%!!! It has great benefits.
That is for family coverage.
Maybe there are people that might have had a different experience, but just giving my opinion. I have also heard their platform sucks before from other people.
I have it 2. Pay about $50 for full family coverage.
Yep, all maintenance is paid 100% - major stuff pays very well, too. I really like it, and have had it for years and years.  Nothing exciting, but good basic dental coverage. I like the $1000 a year per kid for braces! Sure helps with 3 in them!!  I think its just the normal probationary period til it starts - 3 months? Honestly don't remember reading anything about waiting a year for braces though. 
That's not bad for single, but I really need family coverage.
Anyone know what these companies preminums are like for family coverage.. Thanks.
Goodness. I have coverage for a family of 4 for
less than that.  I would have looked at options long ago. 
My family coverage amount
I work for Axolotl and our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year, but I pay 134.00 every 2 weeks for mine. It's Aetna PPO insurance. I have coverage for myself, son and husband.
WEBMDX FAMILY COVERAGE INS-Does anyone know how much it is?

affordable health coverage

Could anyone one give the names of companies they work for with good health and dental coverage (individual plans) at an afforadable cost?  Any info given is appreciated.  I consider affordable as not too much more than $100 per month---80/20 plans okay, but prefer 100% coverage plans if they are out there with reasonable deductibles.  I know this is a tall order!  It can also be a noncompany plan, if anyone knows of a great insurance company plan outside of the job.  I am 45 and in good health, just borderline hypertensive (if there is such a thing---although it does make my rate go up).


 


Thanks!


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.
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.
Is OSI's the cost family coverage fairly reasonable or sky-high? nm
xx
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.
Would ya'll say that Medware's family ins coverage is relatively reasonable cost-wise? nm
xx
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks
Transcend health ins. for family -how much is it? nm
nm
No, not Humana. It's First Health. Pretty good coverage.
x
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!


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

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. 


MAYBE they only need coverage
during those times. They might have other employees/ICs that cover other times so they only need them then. If you don't want to work then, then don't work there. As an IC you do not have the right to jump in whenever. You only have the right to say I will work xx to xx; or say no, I will not work xx to xx.
AllType, Inc.
Anyone familiar with this company?  Could find nothing in archives.  They have a job ad on job board.  Would like to know anything about them before applying or taking tests.  TIA.
alltype
I had posted below, but I had to make another post in answer to this one. I have been with the company for 2 years now and have never had a problem with being to do more than what I signed on for. As far as tech support, everyone has been extremely helpful to me. I just moved cross country and one of our tech guys was nice enough to set up my computer to be compatible with wireless internet. As far as offshoring, I do not think so. Honestly, you sound a little hostile, so maybe that is why things did not work out for you.

AllType
Can anyone tell me about AllType?
alltype
Thank you ex-alltyper. I was starting to feel like I was the only one who felt this way. I actually ended up finding another place that provides better. Another complaint would be that they have a tendency to need you when they need you and then when work is low and you ask for more all of a sudden they cannot help you.
alltype
I have 5 accounts on 1 system and 2 that I learned in vein on the other as every time I have wanted to work on them during a slow period it is always caught up. I would look somewhere else.
AllType
What do you folks know about Alltype?  Thanks in advance.
AllType has an ad now for ops...NM

alltype
hi all!  what is the deal with alltype.  I have considered possible employment with them.  Do they still have different systems to learn?  thanks in advance
Alltype
I just talked with them last week - what's the deal. They offered me a cent less per line than I make now - but I am looking for more work. Please let us know details.
AllType
Can anyone tell me about their insurance benefits, cost, etc.?
Alltype
I worked for them 2 years ago Said I would be getting great accounts Make $$$ Sometimes I would but mostly especially on weekend I would get one ESL dictator who was constantly behind in his dictation. I am not a newbie, have over 12 years experience but he was just horrible. When I complained they said I would get better accounts as time wore on but I couldn't take it after 4 months and moved on.
Alltype

Any info on Allltype regarding tech help, flexibility, TA+ platform, good line counts, organized, PTO, etc...good, bad and ugly


Thank you


Alltype
Anyone have any experience with this company out of New Jersey?
What's up with AllType?
Is there anyone else who was pretty much forced out by the new policies at AllType? The hourly people are being put on production at 3.5 cpl unless you can make 2500-3000 lines per day editing, listening to offshore op notes and all that (about 95% offshore work). Everything just changed overnight. It went from bonuses and talk of growth and stability to now I hear the HR department was downsized and the experienced people who made a decent wage are hitting the door. Does anybody know what REALLY happened with this company? I was a lead QA person and I had to train new employees, do reviews and all that, and then was notified that in addition to this I would have to maintain the ridiculously high line count. I just don't get it.
HERE'S WHAT'S UP WITH ALLTYPE

I obviously can't know who is doing the posting of e-mails regarding ALLTYPE's pilot quality assurance program, but those of you who want accurate answers, I invite you to write to me (gkelly@alltype) or call me directly 800-560-8973. 



I will attempt one last time here to set the record straight.  Let me first acknowledge that I understand the anxiety that comes with moving from hourly pay to production pay.  I remember when this happened in transcription in the 90s.  But, let's remember too, that hard-working, high-producing MTs who tolerated no interruptions in their work day actually saw an increase in pay, and other MTs paid a heavy price in loss of income. 


Moving quality assurance to production pay is keeping in line with the industry moving to speech recognition.  As I have stated in a previous posting, editors are full-time benefit eligible at 2000 lines reviewed per day (3 hrs 20 min of dictation reviewed). QA tiered incentives start at 2001 lines and go to 4 cents per line at 2500 lines reviewed per day. FTE editors get 80% paid health insurance, accrued PTO, holiday pay, overtime pay, monthly TAT bonus, and quarterly QA bonus.  This program pays a nice hourly wage.  For instance, at 3000 lines per day, 30000 lines in two weeks, editors make $13.59/hr.  At 3500 lines per day, 35,000 lines in two weeks, editors make $16.00/hr.  And remember ALL lines in every report are payable.  Three thousand (3000) lines per day is 5 hours of dictation reviewed in 8 hours, 3500 lines per day is less than 6 hours of dictation reviewed in 8 hours. And it is not necessary to do 100% voice-to-text relisten on all files. 


We have worked hard to take care of our editing staff, reward our star performers, and keep our model in line with the industry.  Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information.

What's new at AllType?
I'm looking to possibly apply for an Editor position at AllType and would like current information if possible.  I have read the archives and would like to know if their editor production pay is actually worth it.  Thanks in advance.
AllType
Does anyone have any info...good or bad....on this company? I have been offered a position there.
alltype
run dont walk away from this company
AllType
Can you give me anything specific? Any personal experiences or rationale for such dramatic advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can email me if you want. Thanks!
alltype
pay is always on time but the 24 hour Tech support you are supoposed to have is never available. you are the one that is blamed when you cant work your shift.
Alltype
I don't know if it is the same Alltype, but I was offered a job with them. Did all the paper work ect. She told me I needed a C-phone. I told her I did not have one. She said she would send me one. I got a USB pedal (which I had already) and headset! Tech support was supposed to tell me how to get files via the Internet -- never happened. Still waiting for a response. This has been well over 2 years now. She had called on the phone and said work should start in a week -- never did get set-up and by this time I had returned her pedal/headset saying I was no longer interested. I asked about billing/blanks the answer? Both??? Both??? What is that supposed to mean? It was clear to me this person/owner did not have a clue about medical transcription. I never used a C-phone but I know it is not a USB pedal and headset. Good luck to you.
AllType
None of this sounds too good and this company is not my only option. Thanks for the comments. If anyone else has something to contribute...please do!
