Also, Medware switches insurance companies OFTEN, which can be inconvenient. sm

I have had to switch primary providers more than once because of this, and had to switch dentists twice before I finally just dropped the dental plan. I think we have had 4 different health insurance companies in 8 years.

TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Medware insurance
Insurance for an employee is about $75 a month, they use United Healthcare, $250 deductable. I did not ask about the family plan. Also includes a prescription card. It doesn't start for 90 days but I am finding that pretty much everywhere. I just interviewed with them and I liked what they had to say, and the pay is better that where I am now. You have to commit to a schedule but I do that now. They have a bonus of 1/2 cpl if you type 12,000 in a 2 week pay period. Hope that helps, that is from my interview notes. I hope they make me an offer because they sounded like a decent company to work for. Good luck to you.
Anyone from Medware out there who can tell me what they pay for insurance?
Really interested in family coverage but could also go with single coverage. Thanks.
MedWare insurance
[quote]such as the fact the insurance plan, assuming you make the lines when there is no work because the indians grabbed it, lots of static, and lousy dictators, YOU then PAY the larger portion (read 100s of dollars) for your own insurance. Good luck.[/quote]
I'm not sure which insurance plan you have with them, but I pay around $400 per month for myself and 2 kids for a plan that has no deductible, open access to any specialists, and drug prices from $10 per prescription. Pretty reasonable, in my book.
What's the insurance like at Medware, and do

Medware health insurance
Does anyone know how much the health insurance at Medware costs the employee for eimployee and spouse? Thanks
Is Medware's health insurance affordable?
I am looking for either family coverage or just husband and wife coverage. Any idea of how much their insurance costs? I remember a while back they had their rates listed on their website and they seemed very reasonable.
Can anyone give me an estimate on how much they pay for their health insurance for family. This would be for the PPO insurance, as I do not reside in Florida.
Thanks guys!!!
Does Medware's insurance include preexisting? nm

Has to be soon since the account switches over the end
of the month.
I have one of those KVM switches to switch SM
between my personal computer and my WMX PC. This way I can share one monitor and one keyboard. If I need to do anything personal on the computer, I flip over to my personal PC. I know that doesn't answer your question about whether they are monitoring, but I would venture to say that they can watch anytime they feel the need. I never wanted to find out! LOL
She switches the company name around, Priority Medical, etc. SM

Medware- Ballpark figure for cost of their family medical insurance. NM

I am sure a lot of insurance companies are trying to do that...

Not only Medware, but other companies out there, ahem,

Thanks--that's very helpful. Just the insurance companies

Do companies really contribute to insurance?
I am not sure if it is where I live or what, but I just discussed employee status with my company, and they wanted over $450 a month for health insurance for a very high deductible plan (5000 family) with a copay (20%). I specifically asked if the company paid part of that, and she said yes, 50%.
I went online to e-insurance and priced out a comparable policy, and it was around $200 a month for a family high-deductable policy with an HSA option. How can it be that a group policy costs over 3 times what an individual policy costs? Or do the companies fudge a little bit when they say 50%? I find it really hard to believe that my company will not give me any kind of raise but will automatically pay $5400 a year towards my insurance without batting an eye. (BTW, the other option was $850 a month which would put them paying over $10000 a year for insurance).
What am I missing here? 
You have a choice of 2 insurance companies, sm
and various plans. I have the choice plan with Coventry, single coverage, and for medical, vision, and dental, it runs about $65 a pay period.
Insurance companies pay out 10s of thousands
that are not guaranteed. They tell you every surgery has no guarantee its going to work and we type that phrase daily. I believe IVF should be covered under every policy as a necessity for maternal and parental well being.
companies with reasonable insurance
... but not enough to have my premiums double from one payday to the next. Surely there are companies still with reasonable insurance. I get it that everything is going up everywhere but please if you have information on companies wtih still reasonable rates I need to know. 
Medquist and Medware good companies? NO.
They may be good for their stockholders, but they are not good for their employees....what kind of a list is this anyway?
Call insurance companies in your local
yellow pages that advertise health insurance. Call several to get comparisons.
Check einsurance.com.
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!
Do any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? sm
Does anyone happen to know if any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? I have been in this business for nearly a decade and have been doing QA for the last 4, but I would take a job right now with just about anyone as long as they offered insurance that covered IVF. It is so expensive out of pocket, and I really need the coverage. I have even been considering taking a job out of the transcription industry to get this coverage. So, I guess if anyone knows anywhere at all I can get this coverage.. please help!!! I am unfortunately in a state where this coverage is not mandated... so it is very hard to come by... :(
I am not sure if this was the right board... but I thought it was worth a shot... :P
With so many IC jobs/companies, would think MTs are buying insurance outside
v
Any companies hiring with BCBS as the insurance?
If there are, do they pay well? By well I mean 9-10 cpl.
Companies that provide afforable health insurance?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what companies provide affordable health insurance. I need to provide insurance for my family with good coverage and affordable premiums. I can't wait 90 days or more before benefits start. I need to work at a company that provides benefits pretty quickly. I know...seems impossible these days. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Any companies have "team mail" type feature like Medware?
I'm sure other companies call it something else, but Medware has team mail which occurs at the bottom of your screen real-time. I found this helpful when asking about sounds like help and made me much more accurate and productive, as other team members can help you out when you draw a blank or get stuck.
Do any other companies out there have this type of feature? Thanks!
Any companies letting part-timers buy in on the health insurance? sm
Just wondering if there are any transcription companies where you can work 20 or 25 hours a week and get in on the health insurance plan even if you have to pay the whole premium yourself? Thanks
Any companies offer health insurance for part time?
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
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!
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?
401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.
I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.
The insurance plan in my opinion is excellent insurance. I am not sure if it will change when it'
time to renew or not. I really hope not but I know that a lot of companies change every year in an effort to keep costs down because most insurance companies start raising rates after you have been with them a year. The insurance is Great West and they also have excellent dental and vision plans. I believe the cost is less than $70 a pay period for the employee.
Insurance sucks compared to my old insurance... sm
The insurance seems like they don't want to cover anything, even simple prescriptions I used to pay 4 or 10 dollars on I now pay 20 to 43 dollars. I like the company/people so far, just don't like the insurance.
Insurance Questions: Can you tell me what you pay for insurance through your
MTSO, which MTSO it is and whether the coverage is decent? I currently pay $92.00 a pay period for decent coverage but am trying to figure out if I am getting a good deal or if I could do better elsewhere.
TIA.
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm
no message
Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate. I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
How do you know which companies are Nationals and which are smaller companies.
Is there a list somewhere? I'm new to this.
By "most of the companies", I meant MORE than MT companies.
clarification
Sten-Tel is the platform. Different companies use it, pay and how companies run are different. nm
:P
Medware
Does anyone have any comments on working for Medware? Thanks!
Medware
Thanks for your input!! I'm job shopping and want to make a better decision this time.
Medware
Does anyone know what Medware is paying these days? They seem to have a lot of ads for help in transcription and for the Dictaphone platform.
medware pay
I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me. They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp). I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.
Medware for me
Love my account, direct deposit every 2 weeks and the insurance is affordable. My supervisor is really cool and understanding, we get along great. 1 year and counting, hope for many more. Good luck to you.
Medware
Hi! I just started with them last week and so far it has been really great. They are all really nice and I have had wonderful training. You get paid by the hour for the first 4 weeks so you have time to learn the system (which the system itself is excellent and extremely easy)Your rate is determined by experience so I don't know other than my own. I guess you have to ask them about the schedule, but mine is just what I need. The staff is very, very nice. I think you would really like it. If you will notice, there is tons of negative stuff about all the MT companies on this board, but Medware has a lot less negative than some of the others (I looked through it before I started.) I think you should try it.
I am with Medware
Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.
