Generally, benefits cost the employer $3/hour, so that's sm
probably how yours would figure out, too. 9/cpl/65 is a respectable rate for benefits. Like the other poster said, it depends on what you need and what your scheduling preferences are.
generally, yes

Generally, no...
Acute care is considered H&Ps, operative reports, discharge summaries, and consultations, although some companies might include ER as acute care. I think it really depends on what you were told when you were hired.
I was just being generally silly - but not
sure who my cohorts are! I assure you, I'm a lone jokester.
How long does it generally take...sm
Focus Infomatics to let you know whether you passed or failed the testing for employment? 
Generally 3-4.5 cpl. Much lower than transcribing.

I actually meant this generally, I do not think it's all that different in other states....
from what I've been reading and hearing from others. My husband and I have separate insurance each with our own employer and pay a fair rate of 100 a month or so and they are very good plans and not that HMO garbage. BUT we don't have kids. We have an excellent income and live on the east coast too but that would not make it *okay* for me if we had to pay those rates. So, right now I'm thinking of definitely nixing that whole having a family idea we've been discussing. I was hesitant anyway because I feel this world is just not a nice safe place anymore. So this may just seal the deal for me. What a country, huh? : (
Birdie, where, generally, do you live?

I'm generally happy with my company. SM
I have great supervisor, lots of PTO, helpful coworkers. I have all the work I can do on a consistent basis and no one bothers me.
One problem: OUR PAY KEEPS GOING DOWN.
Thanks for listening.
A big MTSO generally doesn't lay off.
They'll come up with every excuse in the book not to authorize unemployment. Are you working now or have you been out of work since you contacted your supervisor? I would say contact your supervisor again and tell her that if you don't hear from her by (fill in your date), then you will be forced to apply for unemployment since there is no work and you haven't been offered a secondary account. Since you say that the other accounts are all sufficiently staffed, I don't know if this would do much good anyway because then they'll give you a secondary, but you still won't have work. Maybe it's time to start looking at other companies that are hiring.
Generally, will companies allow you that "learning curve"?
Most of the jobs advertised say Must have X years of acute or hospital experience . . . When I see that, I just move on. After so much time, don't they require that you do a certain # of lines? Were you able to reach that # and still feel like with all the time you spent researching, you still had a little bit of a life besides work?  I'll try to test for any company that will let me test for acute care just to see how I do. Thanks for sharing your experience. It gives me hope.
Conference dictations are generally extremely sm
tedious as the voice quality is awful. Consider that when I was in college back in 1970 I made $1.50 a page straight typing from text. You'll be transcribing, not straight typing, a conference or interview.
Work is generally slow all around. Easter
is early, plus spring break in lots of places. I've been on OT for the last 2-3 weeks and ran out of work yesterday and probably will today too. Enjoy it while you can.
I am just generally a worry wart but I am trying to work on it.
I guess that is why the e mails get to me. My job is really important to me, and I take pride in it, I always have. So, maybe I need to lighten up. I understand what the OP said, but I guess we have to make choices in life. The boss has a family, they understand we need lives. Guess do more than expected of us, and using the delete key is a good approach. Just need to quit the worrying habit!
Generally the length of time you are required to keep sm
records on file for a former client is codified in your contract with them.
I don't generally label cheerleaders as Management, but that has to be one. NM

Most generally lots of people on here to start trouble????
Bringing this back up from below posted by Babe People come here to get advice, and seeking opinions on companies good or bad. Sure, there are a few bad apples that will not be happy anywhere they go but I think most of us all want the same thing, an honest and good company to work for. To post only the positive would be great, but then as we all know, there are companies that do their advertising right here posing as MTs, only to find out later when we get burned and have to start the entire process of testing and bouncing yet to another job. You are either very naive about the MT world we live in today, or more likely you are a company official that doesn't like anything negative posted about your company, specially when its lots of it. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe everything they see here, but if you see a lot of specifics about a particular company and you experienced it yourself, then you have to give that some credibility and back that person up - this could be good information or bad information. My assessment of KS personally is that I have not seen anything that would sway me in any way. Any information I have seen here leaves me as feeling neutral.I think people just want an honest opinion, thats all. I guess you perceive a negative post warning about another company's ripoff techniques starting trouble Hmmm.. makes me wonder what chair you're sitting in, sure don't sound like an MT.
It's every two weeks on Monday, but with direct deposit you generally get it
on Saturday and I even know a couple of MTs who get it on Friday.
Generally, with holidays, patients put off elective procedures, sm
more doctors take off, and generally you can count on a lighter workload, especially with Christmas and Thanksgiving. I tell myself I will save up and prepare for it, but usually I end up scrounging frantically for work, so do not feel alone.
Oh, and pay no attention to the whining comments. Most of us have compassion and understand the panic that cam come along when you realize you have run out of work for the day or whatever.
Hang in there ... it will get better. 
Whatever it is, I've learned that it'll generally keep until morning.
Plus if I've been jangled awake in the night by the phone, and am only half-conscious (and wholly p****d off), I'm not going to be of much use, anyway.
If it's bad news, I'd rather read it as an email while I'm having my coffee in the morning.
Sorry to say, this is generally not a good place for support or info. sm
In fact, it's pretty much a cesspool (no offense to true cesspools worldwide) filled with just enough folks who get their jollies being contrary, rude, deceptive, nasty ... you name it.
There are other boards that require logins and therefore there's less of the anonymous sniping that is seen here.
And, of course, this post will be deleted, while the nasty ones remain.
Very sad.
Because in a production environment, the MT will generally produce a significantly higher number of
lines per day.
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

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.

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.

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.
