Focus Infomatics--Anyone have any experience with their insurance benefits, good rate, etc..
Yes, I know all there is to know about them in the negative form but people respond only if you know about their insurance plan. Thanks
Interested in information on Focus Infomatics health insurance
I am curious as to what the costs of their health insurance plan, and if they offer family insurance, what that cost is. I really need a job with benefits.
Focus Infomatics information please.
Does anyone work for Focus Infomatics? Need advice on whether to apply. Need to know what kind of money they make.
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.
Insurance cost
It all depends on where you live. I am in Florida and pay $450 per month for myself and 2 kids. It is different for other states.
Cost of Insurance @ KS
Can you tell me how long it takes to be covered under their insurance plan and how much it is for individual coverage? I had read earlier it was very expensive but they were working on it.
TIA
If you are IC and pay for your insurance, that cost

Insurance cost
Geesh.... I thought mine was high. Are you paying for family coverage or just you and spouse? And if you don'the mind my asking who you work for. You may replay by my email if you'd rather do that. I appreciate your reply. I will definitely not be looking into Acusis or All Type! Webmedx is a good company other than I thought their insurance was awful high. Up until last summer we had insurance through my husband's company, which was very reasonable as it was a large company, but they went out of business so he is now without a job and it's up to me to carry the coverage.
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.
Cost for Transolution's insurance sm
Can you tell me how much it costs the employee for Transolution's health insurance for employee and spouse? What insurance company do they use? Also, is it more if you just work the 32 hours? Thanks
Insurance is no cost at all to my husband
and me thru teamsters, $20.00 copay when going to the doctor, PTO. That is the good part- now the bad- if he should die before me, no insurance for me. Well, since I am 10 years older, will possibly have Medicare before him, who knows??
Does anyone know cost of Axolotl's insurance?

Can you share what is the cost of WMX's insurance .... SM
especially health insurance. I need employee/spouse coverage and I know family is always somewhat higher. You may email me, if you want. Thanks very much!
Transcend insurance cost ?
Can anyone working for Transcend tell me the employee's cost for insurance? For example, how much per paycheck is taken out if you want to cover just yourself (no husband or dependents) for medical, dental and,vision (I have been told they offer all 3). Thanks for your answers.
Would you know the cost of benefits - for single and head of household with kids? nm

All Type pays 80% of the cost of health insurance
if you are a full-time employee; for exact amount, contact HR. You get PTO, holiday pay, quarterly bonuses as well.
Cost of DeVenture's health insurance for families, anyone??
Considering applying, but in the past, the cost was just too high. TIA
Does anyone know what Opti-Script's health insurance cost?
What is it like as far as deductible etc. I am thinking about applying but insurance benefits are very important, but more importantly is that it does not take half your check to pay for it. Thanks for any input.
Anyone with Focus Infomatics?
Please tell all the good and bad!!
Thanks

Horrible, horrible. Stay away. I went with them in between jobs and did not know at first that they were from India. The netcare system is down almost every day. I worked there for two weeks and left, but was still on their email list for months later. All I ever saw was apologies from "management" about netcare was down and how the transcriptionists had to add this to their lists and that to their lists of doctors and protocol. I ran from there and they never paid me.
Focus Infomatics
Are you with FI right now? Just wondering if your full time or part time. I would only go on part time and wonder if that would keep the work consistent?
Thanks, again!!
Focus Infomatics
I've taken part of the test at Focus Infomatics and they called me asking why I hadn't finished it, if I needed help, etc (I was just putting it off). I have 2 years hospital experience.
Anyone worked for them? After some of the archives I looked at I'm starting to get a little nervous... and their website has minimal information about them.
Pros, cons? Benefits? Any input would be appreciated!

Anyone working for Focus Infomatics? Are their bosses and training people in USA? Are the companies they staff for the same?
Focus Infomatics
Does anyone have any info about Focus Infomatics?

If you like your sanity, do not apply with this firm. The manager, Bobbi, is a horror!! I applied because it was out of Massachusetts, and that is where I was born, and all my relatives are. She does nothing but put you down. The Editor position is $.03 a line. Who can live on that?
Focus Infomatics
Does anyone know if they pay QA an hourly rate or line rate? Is the pay decent?
Focus Infomatics - QA Pay
Hello - I interviewed with a very nice woman; however.... the QA pay is 3 cpl, they have absolutely no benefits, no PTO plan in place, no shift differential, lots of no's and the 3cpl - I believe that, if memory serves, there is a quota as well !!! However, according to the woman I spoke with; their VR software actually increases the MTs line production up to ---- ARE YOU READY ?? ---- 400% (yes, that is 400 percent)!!! Wow, and I'm not impressed as that is not realistic .... you be the judge.
They don't mention they outsource work either  - Most all of the Transcription Companies are outsourcing work because the MT work force is slowly dwindling - there are no young women or young men taking the places of those of us who have been working since just after the chisel and stone. I just want to know when I inquire that a company is telling the truth. If they hide information or provide mis-information up-front what do you think your work relationship will be ???
Focus Infomatics
Does anyone work for Focus Infomatics. I started today and am having trouble with the software. I cannot get the patient information to pull up. Does this job get easier.

I've been offered a job with Focus Infomatics Inc. as a newbie. Any comments about working for this company?
Focus Infomatics
I work for Focus and I think they are as good as any other company out there. They always answer the phone when I call the office. Also, they will work with you for whatever your needs are. I never get IM. They are very flexible as well. Most transcription companies do outsourse overseas, so just because they are an Indian company don't let that stop you.
Focus Infomatics
I just started with them this month. They do IM, but not to death. Only when there is a stat job that needs to be done, they will let me know it is coming up next. They are very flexible with my work hours. So far I have no complaints. Yes they do deduct for errors, but they let you know that before you sign on with them in their contract, so there are no surprises. They want an accuracy of 98% and above, and any good MT can maintain that. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Focus Infomatics
They do not IM me and I am not management. What I said is true. They do email me about every other day, but they know that I dont do stats. I dont know why they would IM you all the time unless you are making huge mistakes.
focus infomatics
Just curious, thanks.
Focus Infomatics
I have worked for Focus Infomatics. It is hard to make any money with them. Also, all their team leaders, managers, QA are all in India. You will be reporting to people only in India. You have to tell them the same thing over and over.
Focus Infomatics
Just to clarify; my only problem is that I am not making money. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
Focus Infomatics
Okay, I read the posts below on Focus Infomatics and seems some were not happy with them. Is there anyone who is happy with them?? Just wondering as I was offered a job opportunity. Thanks for the input.
Focus Infomatics
I can only see 1 prior message on Focus Infomatics, it being a moderator asking people to stop speaking about the company. If anyone knows why, I'd appreciate it as I've applied. They were rated very high as a transcription company. Thanks
Focus Infomatics
I have been waiting 2 weeks now to be trained. I get excuse that they are having technical problems. If they are having technical problems, how is the work handled? The person who trained me on Dictaphone was rude. I am still waiting to be trained. I don't recommend them.
Focus Infomatics
Has anyone ever heard of this company - Focus Infomatics?  Any info would be great. Thanks.
Focus Infomatics, Inc
Anyone work for this company? They've made an offer but I'm not hot on the deduction of pay for errors (not that I'm prone to making big ones). How's the insurance coverage? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Focus Infomatics
Say - i work for Focus Infomatics - been there about 2 months now - I get paid on time always - never got my pay docked - seem to have work when I need it - true 4 cents for editing and 8 cents for transcription for acute care which might be a little low but plan on asking for a raise in 6 months - anyway, everything I've been reading is not true - pay isn't the greatest but then most MT companies the pay isn't that good - unless you work for a physician direct you are not going to get big money doing MTing - I receive soc sec so this job is just a supplement but for younger people who want to support themselves doing MT I would say get out of this business - you are not going to make big money to support yourself doing this unless you work direct - I dont know where this profession is going - but we are definitely ALL underpaid - and one more thing - there is so much negativity of companies on this board - why dont the happy MTs share where they work so a lot of us can apply to good companies - instead all I read is how bad every company is - if this is the going trend and that there are not very many good companies - it's time to leave the MT profession and go on to greener pastures - we work very hard - these words are not easy and we are all UNDERpaid - but unless we all get together and unionize i don't believe this profession will ever improve.

Does anyone have any information on working for Focus Infomatics? Thank you!
Focus Infomatics
Anyone had any dealings with Focus Infomatics? If so, how is the compensation? Thanks.

FOCUS INFOMATICS
Hello, I was just hired by Focus Informatics near Boston and had a lot of start-up questions, of course. I found threads here, they were about 50/50 in terms of positivity, so I thought I'd start another string. I am mainly concerned about gaps in my my income while I learn the initial MT (and later, the editing), and I am also concerned about the difficulty level I am going to have when I graduate to editing the VR text--is it as simple as they profess? Lots of MEs complained of inconsistent work so that has my concerned, and then the last thing, I guess, was they were super motivated and super fast to hire me, which is always a bit of a red flag...they tell me a story of a woman who was just an average Editor and MT and in no time flat she was earning over $4000/month--does this sound feasible at all?
I made the commitment and am too burnt out to look for another MTSO so it's going to be Focus for me. I'd appreciate any positive and whatever negative comments there are to share. Oh--one last thing--they are adding offices to their main headquarters near boston, one in LA...I perceive that, of course, as a good thing, and your comments on this and comments on my post in general are very welcome. Thank you very much for your guidance!
