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 has great rates

 


We have several plans to choose from and it also depends on what state in which you reside.  For my family plan, my rates ranged from $100 twice a month to approximately $200 twice a month.  They have some high-tech plans  too but it was pretty outrageous.  The plans I am talking about have good/great coverage. This is the medical.  Dental ranges from $12 to $14 a pay period and they pay the vision insurance.


How much are single insurance rates???? Webmedx, Axolotl, Keystrokes, TT, Transend?
Thanks for the info!
AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance.  Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY.  They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety.  STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay.  OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!! 
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE, BC/BS
Axolotl carries BS/BC with very great rates and coverage!
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has a great insurance plan with very competitive prices. 
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE, BC/BS
Single plan $52 up to $150 for family bimonthly.  They pay for vision.  Dental ranges from $3 to 13 bimonthly.
Axolotl has great affordable insurance!
Their rates are better than any MT company that I know of.
Best selection, rates, & coverage

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.
Axolotl line rates
Could you share a ballpark cpl for someone with 20+ years experience? TIA
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! 


The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
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.
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


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.
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!


 


Webmedx does. Great coverage. nm
.
The insurance rates are the same for everyone who
signs up for that particular coverage. If you are signing up for employee only it will obviously be the lowest cost. If you add children and/or spouse and/or family coverage, those are all different coverage plans and each has a cost.

The benefits for Spheris are not negotiable. Therefore, if $202 was what they told you would be the cost of your insurance, then everyone who has the same coverage will pay that same rate.


about insurance rates
A Tennessee-based MT company has decided to go with a high deductible insurance policy with a well-known insurance company.  It is going to cost the employees $2500 out of pocket before Blue Cross covers any medications.  It will cover the $20 copay to the doctor, but not medicines.  Is this right or way off base?  Would like some info on what others think. 
insurance rates
Can anyone tell me the cost of health insurance at Alltype? Does anyone know of a company that has AFFORDABLE health insurance? My company has a deductible of $5000. I may as well go without insurance I am just trying to stay alive here. Thanks in advance.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Does anyone know what DeVenture offers in terms of insurance for famly coverage, costwise?
Thanks
How about insurance rates for emp + spouse? sm
Also, their line requirements for FTE?
How are the medical insurance rates?
Did they go up too? They were interested in me a couple of months ago, but I did not call them because I had already picked someone else. I know they are great, but did their insurance rate for employee and children, or family go up like everyone else? I am considering contacting them again. Although I don't want to change jobs at all, if their rates are good I won't have to spend most of my paycheck on medical. Please someone let us know here. It is an important issue!
I'd check insurance rates
I'd check how much it would be to buy insurance for yourself and then you can compare the two rates better. I can buy health insurance on my own cheaper than the premiums that many companies offer, so I take the higher IC pay and buy insurance on the side.
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.
TransTech health insurance rates for 2008
I thought I had found the perfect job in Transtech. My bubble just popped. Anybody else out there in cardiac arrest right now over the just published rates for open enrollment. As I need a family plan, unless they can come up with something quickly (she said they are searching for some better options), I will have absolutely no paycheck to speak of.

I hate to consider leaving, but it is a strong consideration!
Sorry..I meant to say I called into the insurance company but forgot to ask about rates! (nm)

Well, kudos to you!! Great rates! Congrats!! nm

Does anyone know cost of Axolotl's insurance?

AXOLOTL, insurance after 30 days
Axolotl offers their insurance after 30 days.  It also very affordable and the coverage is good. 
Axolotl insurance questions
Can somebody tell me if you go to work for Axolotl, how soon the insurance kicks in?  Is it good insurance?  Also curious if anybody willing to tell ballpark pay scale for Rad.
Axolotl has insurance that starts the first day of the
month are you are hired, so if you were hired today, your insurance would start December 1.  Premiums reasonable.  The pre-existing situation usually isn't an issue if you have had continuous insurance.  Apply via website. 
Axolotl's insurance starts in 30 days

Cost for family is less than $300 for medical, dental and vision with good coverage.


I'm not sure what they meant by "cheaper." We had a great insuranc policy but now the rates
higher than the old policy so I guess they never accomplished what they set up to do. All in all, it's not the worst insurance rates out there but could be better. I am interviewing with our local hospital next week and I know they have them beat on insurance rates so I may have to quit. My family needs better rates.
Axolotl insurance is very reasonable. Unfortunately, I did not pass the testing with 14 years exp.
I'm not sure what my problem was. I thought the transcription testing was easy but apparently my headphones are just an awful quality because I just did not hear what it actually was on some parts of the test.  In any event, obviously people have and do pass their tests. I was in the same situation. I needed affordable insurance and Axolotl was very reasonable, I want to say like $300 a month for family so I was pretty bummed when I did not pass the test but best wishes on whatever you decide.
Axolotl and Spheris supposedly start insurance early, too. nm

What is so great about Axolotl?
just curious..............
Thanks! Axolotl sounds great!
I just sent in my resume for Axolotl. They sound great. Just looking for steady work flow, dependable and accurate paycheck and a little bit of respect in turn for the same. Thanks again!
Does Axolotl have VR? They sound great. nm

Read on several boards that Axolotl can be great
but that there are some killer accounts, while others are great, and same with QA, some fair and some brutal.  I know I'd get stuck with both the killer account and killer QA.   Not a good combo for happiness or making money, just to me.
Unless something has changed, health insurance rates vary state by state, so we may not have the
info you need.  I'm an IC so I don't have benefits.
right, and the insurance is not that great
pay is 6.5 to 8 cpl, unless you're on a special team where you move around alot on accounts you get 9, the insurance is not cheap and has a huge deductible.
Great company and they pay employee insurance. nm

Yep...great insurance, but I HATED working for them.
For years I had wanted so badly to work for Axolotl. I was finally hired and found it to be one of the biggest disappointments ever. Left there and never looked back.
Great news on insurance, I never doubted this would happen

Well, see, TT did come through on helping more with the insurance.  Rates dropped considerably AND they are still doing research for getting even better rates and plans.


Nay sayers, you could have given them time and had a little faith.  I worried, but wasted time worrying, because the big boss did what she said, and they always do.  Congrats TT MTs. Things looking better every day.


Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm
