The other benefits such as PTO and 401K, and anything else I can't think of right now, kick in after 90 days. I forgot about this before.

ADDENDUM
Also interested to know amounts of deductible and percentage of coverage under the medical plan.
addendum--sm
and please don't pee while you are dictating. I can hear this and it is disgusting. thank you.
addendum to above...
Sorry I meant dial up. This is a bit slower but still works. They send you their software VoiceWave player to download on your computer and they will provide footpedal and earplugs. They will also provide you a spellcheck if you don't have one. They type in Word and when you complete your report it automatically uploads to thier server.
Addendum
That is you may not get your required lines in only 8 hours, you may need more time than that (depending how the lines are counted etc.) Ask questions and make sure you know all there is to know.
Addendum
Make sure you CYA and email the Help Desk when you run out of work - that gives you an official record.
As an addendum
to my previous reply. Of the people I mentioned that underwent gastric bypass and lap banding, here are the results:
As mentioned, one died. His mom also underwent gastric bypass at the same time. She has since gained the weight back and some.
Then there is a mom and her two daughters. Mom almost died from lap band surgery as gangrene set in. One daughter has to go in every few months of so and have adhesions lasered so she can eat. The other daughter's surgery turned out perfect with no complications.
I have a friend who underwent gastric bypass in March 2007, thinking losing weight would help her rheumatoid arthritis. She has been in and out of the hospital at least a dozen times since. Potassium level dangerously low, no appetite, not eating at all. Yeah, she has lost 80 pounds since March but what a price to pay.
It just seems so risky to me. Yes, I had my surgery scheduled but after my friend died I changed my mind.
Addendum...
If you don't mind sharing where you are that you like that'd be good too ;)
addendum
I meant subq instead of subcutaneous -- I take pride in my work and this was insane. The other thing as well was that a portion of the report on my end was 'garbled' -- QA person said 'you should have understood this i had NO clue as to what the doctor said, but it apparently was some kind of store or whatever. New account for BOTH services -- I knew the geographic location, but did not know the town where this hospital was located etc. Hmm again, maybe my ESP should have come into play.
Addendum
Go into your firewall settings under exceptions and make sure that the boxes are checked that say VPN. I think that may be what I had to do.
Addendum: It would probably take 15 minutes sm
of typing time to do a full page (that's if you can hear all the voices clearly, able to identify them in a snap, etc. So, plan on earning $5 an hour.
ADDENDUM TO POST
Also, it would be to my employers benefit to have us go with this service, have it not pan out for us, and then they do not have to pay us unemployment benefits.
I will add an addendum to this post...
The argument could be based on quality, but I also do not think that is a great argument. And I know this next statement may upset some, but it's true: There are many, many US MTs who are not producing quality transcripts, either. It is a fact. Another fact is that many hospitals/physicians are not extremely concerned about quality. If you have ever had access to hospital EMR, you will notice how many mistakes are input by physicians and nurses...even drug allergies are spelled phonetically. It appears that they just do not care about quality.
Is Addendum the name of a company? Do they have a website?
ADDENDUM: The REAL truth is . .
. . that if some of the posters say the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name they are MTSO's
ADDENDUM to "late" last night postSM
I have worked as an IC for 10 years or so and the company provides the line count, the MT merely okays the count on the invoice and sends it in. All I have worked for have done it this way. We don't have a say in the count.
THEY provide(have a tally) of the count to the client, so they get paid. SO.... THEY KNOW what is what. You should get paid, 3000 lines is a great deal of money, especially now days.
I would like to learn how this played out. Keep us posted
Also looking into them. Do they have benefits?
TIA.
How are the benefits and
do they pay according to experience, i.e. will they match what you are making elsewhere if they have more work than one can handle lately if one tests high with them? If you know, please tell.
DSG benefits
Quoted me at over $1000 per month for two people. Needless to say, did not take it!
Same here! What benefits?

? Benefits
What health insurance benefits does KS have? I have heard they are not paying anything toward it and it is very expensive.
Benefits
I just put in a call today as I am looking for benefits now as my husband was just laid off. I can take Unicare for $354 per month until January 1st when Blue Cross/Blue Shield kicks in. The cost on that is $256 per month (my share) as Keystrokes picks up 25% of the employee portion. Seems to be average as that is around what my husband paid at his old company.
Benefits
SAAAWEEET!!  I LOVE KEYSTROKES!! Just when you think they were the best... THEY GET BETTER!!!
No benefits necessary

How about FT with benefits?

Benefits
I think Cymed is worth looking at. They have a few different options and deductibles so you can try and find a fit with your needs. Also it is BC/BS, plus dental and vision. Not sure how their costs compare to others out there, but no matter where you go the cost of benefits has gone through the roof unless you can actually hook up with a hospital. Good luck.
PS - got many more benefits where I went
LOL - much, much better.
How about benefits?
Medical, PTO, etc. TIA.
Benefits
Do they provide benefits?
Benefits
For health insurance, all the plans had fairly high deductibles. The lowest deductible and most expensive to the employee was $1500 up to $3000. Dental seemed to be basic. Also, they don't kick in until 1st of the month after your 90-day probationary period, assuming you are meeting your production. Didn't stay long enough to qualify.
FN benefits
I really don't see what ALL the hullabaloo is about regarding FutureNet and whether they offer this or that as far as benefits, DD or whatever. As an independent contractor, if you have to get health insurance for yourself and dependents, look at the cost as a tax deduction for heaven's sake.
To be eligibile for DD, you have to CONSISTENTLY make 14K lines a pay period and I for one, would much RATHER pay the extra $25 and know that my check is going to get to me by 12 noon the next day. You will receive an email with the tracking # etc, the Thursday before.
Take into consideration too, that there are a LOT of services out there that do NOT offer benefits or direct deposit. I have been in this business 25 years, and I for one, LOVE the flexibility of being able to work for a service when I want to, and not having to work someone's set schedule, just because of benefits or whatever. It's a choice that YOU and only YOU can make.
No benefits. IC only. nm

Benefits
No more than anywhere now a days and definitely cheaper than trying to get them on your own. Benefits have gone through the roof pretty much everywhere.
benefits
The way I see it is I will pay nearly $400-500 out of every check for benefits? Is that true?
benefits
thats about right
Benefits
Where are you coming up with that figure? Is that for a full family?
benefits
Yes that's for a full family. I got that from some information I was given by them.
Benefits
Hi, I work there too and that's about right for a family plan, if my recollection is right. The insurance is not too bad for just the employee but when you add husb or kids it get up there, but then again it seems to be like that at most places nowdays. I think their plan/coverage is pretty good though. I have been lucky and have been covered by my husband's policy and the kids are grown now, so I don't need to buy the coverage, you can also buy disability/life ins plans, etc. Other benefits are paid days off, but that takes years to accrue that and extra pay on holidays, etc. (but everyone is required to work 4 hours on the holiday) I have always worked partime at physicians office or else as an IC, so I never had benefits anywhere and have always worked 6-7 days a week and holidays as an IC (only time I could get caught up was on the holidays). The only thing I benefit from now is the extra holiday pay, and they do have 401-K and match a limited amount which is nice. Hope this helps.. talk to your contact person if you have questions, they can probably answer them in more detail. Good luck.
Benefits
Are there any companies that offer benefits that aren't a joke. I have talked to a few offering insurance but the premiums are ridiculous, I could get just as cheap on my own.....
benefits
The benefits ARE good, but you definitely earn them. If ESLs don't make you crazy, you'll like it there. Me, after tearing my hair out for awhile, took a lower-paying job elsewhere with easier dictators and actually bring home more $$$ now, but not good benefits. It's a trade-off.
NO BENEFITS
There are no benefits at all at this time, but it is in the workings.
benefits
Does anyone know of a company who offers part-time benefits?
no benefits.
xx
How's the benefits
Are the benefits at Medware costly or reasonable? I went to work for Diskriter, but was trying to choose between Medware and Diskriter. I chose Diskriter because they gave me the low down on their insurance costs.
Benefits
I don't believe Amphion offers medical benefits for P/T.
benefits
any company out there with decent benefits with decent deductibles and rates?
Benefits
Anyone willing to share their benefit information? This is such a big part of a job now a days and I would love to see companies that actually have a good package (are there any?) get the recognition.
Benefits
Thanks to all who replied. It sounds like the bottom line is benefits are a rarity in the MT world. I just don't get how we are supposedly in such demand, but salaries keep dropping and benefits are a joke.
Benefits
The benefits are awesome!!!! The insurance costs are just unbelievable. I cover myself and my children on vision, dental, and health and it's less than 130 biweekly I believe. The vacation/sick leave allowance is pretty good too!
The benefits are okay, better than
some and not as good as others. There are several health insurance options and some cost way more than others, it depends on the coverage you want. I find it very hard to get a good line count with this company because I have a lot of difficult accents and poor speakers, nitpick on the QA, and not paid for spaces. This is definitely the lowest line count per hour I have ever made with any company.
Benefits?
Don't work there for 90 days before you find out their only benefit is medical care, and it's a worthless policy. Get the details up front, before you start working.
no benefits
I dont know any place that offers benefits for pt.
Wished I did.
