cost for family coverage. I have left my email address if you want to send me a note.
I am on a quest to find a company with much more affordable rates than I have now so it would sure save me a lot of time and effort if I could find this out beforehand. Thanks in advance!

Can you give me an idea
on what you could do, say per week on VR?
No, sorry, no idea. Why not give them a call? nm

I think they do kind of give you an idea.
Most do anyway. Some of the ads are really long and almost read like a short novel. I am not sure they can all put each and every scenario for benefits, hours, etc. I think most recruiters will answer questions before you take the time to test though to see if it may be a good fit. Wow, there are a lot to choose from.
This may give you some idea of their value system.
I applied with this company, but because I was a newbie, I wasn't eligible.
However, I did receive a most thoughtful reply from them, giving me advice and suggestions on some ways to break into the business. A lot of time and effort was put forth with that e-mail.
While I don't work for them, this type of response may give you some idea of how they treat people.
Most companies simply ignore you. Some that do respond send out almost rude and nasty e-mails.
This company, however, sent a very compassionate, informatibe reply. To me, this is very telling.
Could someone please give me an idea of the pay rate for Focus?
I see the discussion below about whether they pay by the line or pay hourly, but could the QA's who currently work there now give me an idea of what they pay per line? I'm trying to decide whether going thru the testing and interview process is worth my time, and I don't want to go thru all of that just to find out I wouldn't be offered enough money. Thanks!
Legally, they cant give health insurance to SEs or ICs. They tried that before and had to stop it.

Webmedx - insurance
NC - could you e-mail me? I have a couple questions about Webmedx and their accounts and insurance. Thanks!
WEBMEDX INSURANCE
Please feel free to contact our recruiting department at 1-800-439-9974 regarding insurance rate costs. We will be happy to provide that information! 
Does anyone have insurance with Webmedx?
Is it expensive? Easy to use? What insurance company is it through? Any other comments about Webmedx? Thanks.
Webmedx insurance
I absolutely agree! They have the BEST coverage overall for self and/or family!!! They are definately worth checking out. They also have great incentives all the way around!
insurance - Webmedx
I believe the approx. costs for single coverage/month are:
Dental = $16
Vision = $3.72
Medical = $114.76 or $87.96
depending on plan
Not sure costs for family coverage. Hope this helps.

You have to work at least 35 hours a week and type at least 5000 lines a week to keep your full-time status and your benefits. You have to wait 90 days before you are eligible for benefits. The premiums for coverage are very reasonable (I am paying about $400 per month for family health insurance, vision, and dental). The coverage isn't that wonderful though. There is a either a $1000 or $2000 deductible depending on which plan you choose. I have had much better coverage in the past and wish that there was better coverage out there for MTs.
Can anyone give some input about Webmedx?
Are they a good company to work for?
Does Webmedx give raises and
can you work a Mon-Fri schedule? Do you have any holidays off or do you have to use PTO? TIA
Yes, Webmedx does have very affordable insurance. sm
I pay 145 a pay period for myself and husband for the gold type insurance (which is the best we can get).
Webmedx insurance question?
How long must one be employed by Webmedx before they are eligible for the health insurance? Also, what insurance company do they get their health ins. through?
Thanks for any replies!
Can anyone give me the pros and cons of Webmedx?
-
Is WEBMEDX's health insurance affordable?
Can anyone tell me more about their benefits, including the health insurance? Thanks so much.
Webmedx and Precyse and Medquist. Regarding their insurance (sm)
Do you have to maintain X number of lines per hour to qualify or just X number of lines per payperiod? Is the family coverage affordable and decent insurance?
Tested for WebMedX, could anybody give me the good, bad and the ugly on them. NM
Thank you.
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
How much are single insurance rates???? Webmedx, Axolotl, Keystrokes, TT, Transend?
Thanks for the info!
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.
"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

Nationals give at least a week to learn program. Give

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.
They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
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.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
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.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
Idea to help us all, maybe?
I've started an Excel chart noting objective information on companies. PTO, bennies, differentials, incentives, platform ease of use, spaces, all the stuff that helps to make a decision about whether a company is a good fit. So, I've really appreciated some of the information I've seen here today, good and bad. Keep it coming! 
No idea!

Here's an idea...sm
Why not just hire weekend people at a good rate? They won't have to pay benes, etc.
Here is a novel idea
Very well said!! I can name a few that do that such as, Ascend Health Care Systems, Transcend Services.... should I go on???
Have no idea.
:(
I LIKE that idea.
Let the recruiters compete for their paychecks like MTs do when companies overhire MTs (even if just for a week or so). 
Yes, I have an idea for you. sm
If you email me, I can give you the name of a company who offers this. Please be sure to put in your subject line of your email that it is in regard to a post at MT Stars, because I try to be careful of what email I open. Also, if you could give me an idea of how long you've been an MT, that would really help.
Anyone know how many MT's they have? I get the idea that
they are fairly large but the couple of times I have spoken with them they are really nice and pleasant and seem to be on the ball. They seem to treat people more like a small company.
I think the idea is that you tell them what
details are important to you, because no ad is going to give you all the details that might be very important to you. For instance, is good software more important than available IT help or whether there are ESLs or whether you can specialize, etc. When I've seen it discussed before, one person said they were referred to off-shore companies. Which would explain why posts might be removed from this site. But obviously you could stipulate it has to be an American company. I intended to use them when I got sick of sorting through companies myself, but found a good one in the nick of time. Good luck.
if your idea of
a good time is working like a dog for $11 an hour making some young white hotshot rich, this is an ideal career opportunity.
I had the same idea, but
the one job I found that was not MT, made me crazy - because all the rules were completely different... Try going back and forth and be able to keep them straight.
I'm still dizzy from that experience. That said, if I could have found straight data input, it would have been find. Let us know if you find something :)
Novel idea
nm
An even better idea - sm
How about the people who are not scheduled to work the holiday NOT work! Then those of us who are scheduled to work might actually get some work.
I have no idea but they sure need more
Some of the reports I come across are full of stupid errors that QA has never seen. They are far too easy on MTs and apparently don't do audits after you're released but maybe it's just me. I've been there nearly 2 years and have never been audited. I was surprised but am still careful just in case...
I think the TT niceness is carried too far when you have medical records with errors. So for all you potential naysayers who wonder how I know about the errors, with Dictaphone EXtext we have access to other reports and that is how we get samples. I would say at least have of them have some pretty bad errors.
I have an idea
Just let them know up front what you expect to get paid. I am sure they will be willing to oblige at that rate. Good luck!
An idea.....
How about a -----Watchdog Group---? Possibly representative(s) in each state. This group could appoint a committee to... say check on companies.....etc.
I'm sure that out of the thousands of US, some of you are good at writing letters getting a point across, organizing people, etc.
Personally, I had always thought AAMT was a bunch of baloney (just my opinion). They used OUR money to more or less screw us. Maybe there is something legal that can be done? Maybe they did a breech of contract so to speak.
Basically, senators, news media, etc. can help. At the end of the road, it is OUR problem. No one knows it like we do. Therefore, we are the ones with the solution.
Hey, now there's an idea!!!! s/m
You've got a deal! I loved to crab when I lived on the Texas Coast. We could always paint gourds when the crabs didn't have any meat in them, that was in the full moon wasn't it? I forget. I've slept since then. BTW, LT did you find a good new home? Haven't painted many gourds today, just loafing with a mini-migraine.
I have an idea for you!
You could always apply with SoftScript, Inc. They'll match your line rate (under certain criteria) and offer excellent benefits. After employee contibution, there are some plans that wouldn't cost you a penny out of pocket. Give it a shot!
