insurance 2 expensive?
Recently I was contacted by an agent of the company I work for and was told that basically they didn't know how much longer they could cover me on their insurance plan that I have been on for years. I am having a bit of a problem changing insurance companies right now because of a chronic illness. I gather that their portion is too expensive although I have no confirmation of that. Can they actually drop me off of their insurance for this reason? I suppose they could always terminate me or push me out, giving no reason, their right, but I already know why. Is this illegal or does it just fall under being a poorly run company?
I think their insurance is very very very expensive. nm

Yes!! I don't like the new insurance, more expensive and higher co-pay. nm

Last time I talked with them, nothing had changed, insurance still way too expensive. nm
.
I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.
To Keystrokes employees: Has anyone heard anything about when a new, less expensive insurance (sm)
is starting? I was told by a valid source it was to be February 1 but it apparently didn't happen then. Has anyone else heard a different date? TIA.
bad insurance, expensive & lousy line count
When Transform (in Wyo) started they used MDintouch which was great but with Vscript I spent more time waiting for new reports to open (because it would have to open Word EVERY SINGLE TIME instead of Word just staying open, and for them to finish sending. long reports were OK & you could make SOME lines/$$ but after 6 years I made less & less AND LESS until I quit because I would OWE on payday - yes, I was paying over $900 for really lousy insurance for hubby & I. I'm no slouch - being doing it for about 25 yr when I quit & typed about 110 wpm. So take no time to pound out a report but tooooo much time wasted waiting on things to grind up & download. HAS to be better offers...
TransTech is not less expensive than that...sm
my plan costs what you are paying now with the surcharge, but they have added a high deductible plan that is about 60% of the cost of a regular health plan.
I am getting a little desparate paying these premiums, too. I hope you find something better.
MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
TransTech insurance
I believe it's still Humana.
TransTech insurance
Hi. Anybody who's ever worked for TransTech--how would you compare the health insurance they offer, versus that offered by other companies, e.g., say, OSi? Thanks muchly.
Health insurance at TransTech? sm
Anyone willing to tell me what they pay for their health insurance plan through TransTech? I just had a great offer from Keystrokes that I guess I am going to have to turn down because their health insurance plan costs more than I can get one for on my own! bummer disappointment! So I am going to pursue Transtech but don't want to end up in the same boat again....TIA.
Diskriter or TransTech for insurance...sm
I'm curious about the insurance rates for a family of 4 for these 2 companies and if you can you make a decent wage to help pay for these insurance premiums? I worked at one place that had pretty good insurance but had a tough time making enough money to pay for it (and still pay my bills, etc). Any info would be great -- thanks!
TransTech and Keystrokes insurance
Can anyone tell me who carries the major medical with these companies? Thinking of applying with both companies but want to know who they have their major medical with before I apply. TIA
TransTech health insurance
Does anyone have info on family plan health insurance at TT. I have heard they have a few to choose from. I don't want to spend my time going through the whole testing process if all the options are outrageously expensive. Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
Is Transtech's insurance reasonable?
TransTech - is their insurance affordable? How much do they contribute? sm
For family coverage, about how much is the monthly premium? Do they pay well? Do you have to work a set schedule or can you get your lines in within a 24-hour window? Thanks!
TransTech has NINE health insurance plans

Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm

Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?
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!
With Transtech insurance, do you have to meet deductible before office visits are covered? nm

VERY expensive
I think it was almost $300/mo for single and much more for kids/family. No dental.
Have you looked to see if your state offers some kind of subsidized health plan for kids? There's one in my state and the income guidelines are quite generous and it was very easy to sign up for - downloaded the forms off the internet and sent them in. I would suggest you do a little research in that direction.
MQ has good benefits, but good luck to a newbie getting the 150 lph on those teaching hospital accounts that you'll need to maintain your benefits.
That is really expensive
for insurance. I could never afford that.
You have to buy a lot of very expensive
equipment - a $300 router, a special modem, and their special telephony equipment. They only do overflow work, accounts not too bad, but there are problems there.
Self-pay for me is less expensive
I work for Keystrokes but unfortuantely their group insurance is more for me than what I pay on my own. I am told it is because of the overall health status of the group involved. If you are healthy, have no preexisting medical conditions,take no medications, and do not smoke you will find that a private plan is more reasonable than a group plan where the majority enrolled are over weight, have chronic illnesses and take prescription medications. Another good reason to stay in shape girls. :)
Very expensive
COBRA is normally offered when your personal or job insurance is no longer active (ex: you quit your job, you were let go). The rates are generally high, there is a cost for others added on to your insurance, and I believe it is only good for 18 months. You may want to check with other medical insurance companies and compare pricing. If there are any pre-exisiting conditions, you will want to find out about the waiting period for that (normally 6 months) as long as you have been covered within the last 6 months. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, no. The last job I had the COBRA was too expensive, so I did
not get it, and had about a 4-month lapse.
I guess India got too expensive.
Glad I quit.
I thought they were looking for less expensive plans

Psychiatric help is also expensive, but I think you should check into it anyway. nm
You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

There's 49 other states who are tired of hearing how expensive CA is. nm,

You sound like the "gambling is expensive" nutcase. nm
She's right above -- just go away.
Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm

For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month. If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
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.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
The new exam is less expensive than the old exam was.
It used to be taken in two parts and believe me it was $150 per part. If you did not pass the first part, you could not take the second part so you had to take the first part and repeat the entire cost until you passed. To those folks who might not have passed the first part for several tries, it was expensive. I still consider $300 (the old price) high. Now, today's **I think** is only $150. The price is at the AAMT website but that is only half of what it used to cost and so much easier as far as location and not needing a proctor etc
insurance sm
You may be better off going directly to the source, so to speak. I do not have the insurance, but I have seen the rates, and they are reasonable, even affordable! I believe it's through either Blue Cross or UHC, or it may be both, you get to choose. Anyways, I do get the eye insurance for my family, which is at no cost to me. As I said before, your best source is to ask MQ itself. Good luck, and don't count MQ out just because of all of the negative posts on this board! I'm very happy w/them, and have been for over four years now! 
MQ insurance
I don't know if it's still the same, but when I worked for MQ, I cancelled my insurance and went to IC status when the family coverage went up to $900/month. I asked them how could that be with the largest transcription company in the world, and they claimed it was based on the area I lived in.
Insurance
They don't let you go, they make you a statutory employee. If they let you go, then they would put themselves in a situation to where they may have to pay unemployment. If they move you to statutory and take all your benefits, then they don't have to pay your insurance or PTO days. Working off the clock is just free labor for them. So basically, it is going to benefit them either way.
insurance
I carry myself and my husband and it costs me between $30 and $40 monthly. This is for an HMO. I think they told me the PPO was between $80 and 120 monthly, but the HMO had more providers in my area so I went with it. There were several choices between HMO and PPO. Like I said before, this will vary depending on which hospital. I work for a hospital in PA. I'm not sure about details for the Florida hospitals.
For the insurance directly through Diskriter (if you work for them directly), I think they quoted me around $300 a month for two people.
PT Insurance
There is a company in WI who offers insurance at 30 or 32 hours a week. For the life of me I can't remember the name but out of Waukesha, WI. Hopefully someone can jump in and give you the name.
PT Insurance
I keep wondering why more companies don't offer an option like the hospitals where you pay a little more as PT, but can at least obtain insurance as part of their group. Or for that matter, why AAMT cannot offer a group option for insurance for all the ICs, etc.
