pregnancy is a preexisting condition. No one will sm
probably hire you anyway being pregnant. How old are you??
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.

[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
nm
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!!!


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

Does this include
being an employee under employee status that a computer, software and reference materials be supplied also. If so, that does not happen here either.
does that include MDI MLS's in there? I always thought they
were one of the big companies but that is pretty average, isn't it?
Not unless you include the account updates - LOL!
nm
Do you know if this rate would include your DH if needed? Thanks. nm

Plus your medical records include your SS#, too! nm
.
The numbers on the Q above do not include ILPs.
There is a difference.
Does that include the equipment failures
for the ancient Lanier equipment that doesn't work half the time, the numerous phone numbers that must be dialed to even obtain the work, the numerous ESLs who can barely speak English, the demands to work extra and constantly even though an MT meets her quota, the inconsistent account profiles and QA feedback, or the promise of being left on an account only to be moved around? I'm really curious.
What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:
Thanks, does this include an expander and dictionary, or did you have to buy your own? Nm

They need to include the American firms
.
It can include Ops, but lots of companies
offer positions with or without ops, so acute care doesn't necessarily mean Ops.  Acute care is hospital setting and can be any report type, basic 4 would include Ops usually.
Looking into medical records and include
this into the criteria to hire somebody or not, yes, this I would regard as overall discrimination.

But to be subjected to a hearing test to be hired for an MT job, is not discrimination of any sort.
Does that 200 LPH include voice recognition, or is it
nm
Does that include the overhiring practice of Transcend's
so none of us can make a decent living, or the miserable platform transcend brought with it?
Does Precyse include the ADT entries or headers in
nm
Definitely is spaces include, black and white.
Indeed it is.
Forgot to include my e-mail address
My e-mail address is neuhausel@epix.net. Forgot to include that in my last message.

On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures.  It looks like there is no message (there is though)


Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it.  This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians.  Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this. 


This year's will include roadkill recipes

So lets all get our recipes ready to submit to some suit that did NOT take a pay cut, so she can dole them out to us and lead the old team cheer!


What I love the most - they way they announce they're forcing the whole company to go ISR and take a pay cut - and then exhort us to give our extra all to worry about quality.  Its REMARKABLE how they have the cojones to guilt trip us while they're yanking our money away!


We ARE worried about quality - the quality of our resumes as we start looking for different jobs.  I'm worried about the quality of my PAYCHECK and the quality of my TIME wasted looking at NSA hour after hour, night after night.  And that's the QUALITY you've forced us to concentrate on!


Which is less in American $ and doesn't include dues. nm

PTO, sick pay, paid holidays, benefits include...sm
Medical, dental, vision, drug coverage.  Great company.  I like my accounts.  Plenty of work.
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.
Does background check include credit check?

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.

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.

Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.

Has anyone out there worked for Medware?  I have gotten a job offer from them and just wondered how they are to work for.  Thanks for any help

Hi, am thinking about Medware.  How do you like it?  What is it really like.  Do they have a good training program.  I was very impressed with the marketeer.  He seemed very accommodating and willing to work with me.  Just wondering what the scoop is.  Thanks in advance
Medware
ty so much for your response. w/ so many companies out there unsure of what to do. I have been transcribing for 3 years and just getting my line count up. Plus being fairly new on the block was unsure whether I would fit in. Just how easy would it be for a fairly new comer to fit in. I need a little encouragement and a small amount of TLC, but just for a short time.

Does Medware pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
