Actually, I didn't, but my point is taking out double premiums for insurance sm
and I am glad that you find my distress so amusing. Perhaps you can go pick some wings off flies too while you're at it.
TransHealth: What is the insurance and premiums
nm
You can't deduct insurance premiums if
they are taken out pretax if FT employee.
With regard to insurance premiums, sm
Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision. It is probably another 100 a month.
Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?
Insurance premiums question
Are there any companies that have health+dental insurance premiums for self, spouse and child(ren) for less than $400 total in premiums a month? Meaning, less than $200 taken out of each paycheck for premiums? Thank you for any leads.
Lower Health Insurance Premiums
Can anyone provide your average monthly cost for individual and/or family health insurance premiums? I'm looking to change employers and most companies will not provide this information until after an applicant has gone through all the testing. Who wants to bother with all that if the monthly health insurance premiums are outrageous? The company I am with now has a very reasonable plan, and I need to find something comparable. I would greatly appreciate any information you can give. Thanks so much for your time!!
9 cpl for IC, 7.5 cpl for employee. Insurance premiums are high.
Not to mention that they want you to only type one space instead of two after a period. That may not be an issue for you, but I am am just giving my opinion. I wasn't going to do it.
premiums
How much are the premiums going to be? I turned down employment a while back because of the high price tag for health insurance.
(and what their premiums/copays are) sm
I can get insurance but there is a huge deductible, preexisting condition clause (of course) and OK copay--that is only relevent IF you can get through the $2000 deductible. How sick do you need to be make this kind of insurance work for you? If you just have well care visits, yearly stuff, you dont even get through that deductible and its cheaper to pay it yourself!
Medware raised premiums
Medware no longer has good benefits, at least as far as affordability goes. They recently increased the premiums and if you live in certain states, they are extremely high. Expect to pay between $100 to $200 a month in premiums depending on which state you live in.
Yes, that is pretty average in family ins premiums.
Maybe that'll help you some.
With little to no work, the company doubled my premiums - nm

Dishonest
Got the same treatment,sounds like alot of us did, not just us 2 I am sure.
dishonest
Why are they dishonest? What do or have they done to make you feel this way?
DISHONEST TIMES 2!
I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
Could you explain what was dishonest?
I got an email saying that I could not sustain my life with 1 doctor - so they would have to let me go - that = you aren't working here anymore. So, the next step is to call your unemployment office - they determine whether you are eligible to receive benefits or not - and because of the emails that the lead MT sent - she is the one who hung KS - it was determined that I was eligible. Then you look for work - for which there are many different aspects of what you apply for and what you do or do not accept - there are not so many employment positions for MTs -more IC jobs which do not count as employment. I did everything as layed out in the guidelines. KS just didn't want to be responsible for their part of the unemployment - siting laws in their state - which are not the same as those in the state where I live - and you state's laws are the ones that count - not theirs. Please tell me what is dishonest about this. I did nothing dishonest while working for KS - all I did was work. Oh, I did miss one TAT because my broadband was down - and that was in a year.
Well that's just plain dishonest then.
I wonder if the MTstars quote was actually written by the the recruiter him/herself then. I think I'll pass on this company then.
Actually, I think we all would like to forget them. It has been proven that they are dishonest.

Right on Sista!! They are dishonest and friendly until
NM
Defending dishonesty is being dishonest
.
I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
Yeah..they are dishonest. They most certainly are in India. Do you really want to work for someone
that is dishonest?? not me..
Why take it to email. Shouldn't we all know if this is an employer who is dishonest to their
employees. Inquiring minds would like to know if they really offshore..
Most Indians in the MT business are dishonest scum
nm
If you are such a dishonest person, maybe they saw through that and let you fall to the wayside inte
You should be ashamed of yourself. This is called FRAUD. It is ILLEGAL and can give you prison time. You deserve it. You give MTs a bad name and I hope no company EVER has to deal with you that they have a way to talk to KS or any other company you have ever done this to.
I also hope they catch you and prosecute you.
Please look at your posts defending dishonest cherry-pickers, then look at yourself.

RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT
I've feel for the same thing and tired of dishonest people.
My favorite was when a recruiter would actually do all of her recruiting by pretending to be an MT. She went to great length singing the praises of her company, even though others were badmouthing the company. She was very convincing until I put two and two together. Actually, she wasn't too smart. She private emailed me from the board as the MT saying that she would contact her boss to recommend me.. Well, though and behold her boss and her both had the same email. Now, do I look like a moron or what. So, honestly, I rarely trust those cheerleaders on here and just take it with a grain of salt because you never know who your talking to.
Oh, no. Think I may have just signed on
Can you give a general idea of the misrepresented positions? Frankly, I'm going into the thing expecting the worst.
I signed on for that
and I've yet to see any work. I check daily. They don't care either if you don't have any work.
Well when I first signed on
they had work comming out of their ears, when I left there was hardly anything. I have heard they picked up again. I had 2 different supes. One on the training team, one on my team after traninng. They were both great.
They have 2 platforms, ex-text and Merit. I worked on Merit (sp). It had some good features and then some features EX text had that I wished it had. It ran great on my 6 yo cheapo computer I got from Wal-Mart.
The hospital that I am working at say they are going to ASR. They have not said, but I bet that means we will be getting a pay cut. They have already quit paying us for headers, footers. I don't know but if things get too bad I will probably look back into Medware FT if that tells you anything. HTH. 
Tell them you signed up as an IC and will
work when you are able and/or want to. As an IC, let them know that they cannot hold you to specific hours as was agreed upon when you started with them.
Co-Signed!!!
I've even worked with *seasoned/experienced* MTs who refuse to change one single word of what a physician dictates, even when it is BLATANTLY an error and the correct word is obvious (calm down, I'm not talking medical lingo here, I'm talking basic English words). I've also worked with MTs who, if the dictator says *Discharge diagnoses, Same,* types precisely THAT, *Same*, rather than copying and pasting the admission diagnoses, even though she knows this is what she is supposed to do. *That's not what he/she said, he/she said 'SAME'.* I've seen those same careless your/you're, they're/their errors more times than I care to count as well.
I understand the faster we go, the more money we make but at the end of the day, I'm willing to make a little less in exchange for turning out an accurate, quality report.
Those are my initials at the bottom of that patient record. I couldn't sleep at night or look myself in the mirror if I knew I was shipping through a lesser quality report just to make a few more cents.
And if it was your mother/father/sister/brother/child lying in that hospital bed or terminally ill attending a clinic, would you want an MT rushing through their report at breakneck speed, accuracy thrown to the wayside?
Errors like this don't make the work of US MTs any better than that of the Indian MTs, I'm sad to say.
Yep she is the one who signed up
Ummm - we care about our interests too. That's why we DIDN'T sign up. Sorry you were fooled. Did you already run out of work or something? The ads say they have tons of work?
Have you signed a contract with them yet? sm
I haven't even set up a time to train yet but I just faxed my contract in this morning and I am supposed to get my lanier sometime next week. I guess I probably pestered her; I would rather say I was persistent : ). I had another company with an offer standing and I didn't have time to wait around and let the other one slip by in case things didn't work out. Luckily, they did and I am very happy with my choice.
Not much, but I'm all signed up to start there!
I think it's going to be great. :o>
Many have signed noncompete re:
You cant just make contact with a client of a company - if you have signed a noncompete / no contact - if they are money hungry / desperate they will sue for any contact with a client - however, if they go out of business - no competition there.
Even if you did not sign, I am sure they would find a way to tie up your life and be an annoyance.
When I signed on a year ago
I got an hourly rate for 3 weeks. The pay depends on your cpl offered x125 (lph) x 8.
I just signed on with Transcend
a week ago and am getting their stats now although I have not officially started working. The workload does look low. I had also tested with another company one day last week called Precyse. I received an e-mail today saying that I passed their test and will be contacting me so I will see what they have to offer. I thought I was in luck because this local hospital ran an ad in our local newspaper saying they want a Medical Records Clerk, FT with excellent benefits. That is all the ad read. I went and applied this morning. Fully steady pay with benefits sounds so good. The hospital is a block away and I can leave my work there and not have it staring me in the face 24/7. I am just afraid that the word clerk in the ad means minimum wage.
You signed on with the company sm
based on what you saw on the board? Didn't you ask all of this during your interview? Just curious.
already signed up. its about time nm
nm
just signed on with weekly company
I just signed on with a company that pays weekly. Great people!! Very friendly. Paychecks mailed every Monday. No platform as of yet so a little slow in building up line count. But I'll stick around until they obtain a platform.
I signed the Acusis papers
I don't know what I'm legally allowed to say anymore. Is it a company secret to say I'm suddenly out of work or doing scraps by mid-morning or noon? (Treading carefully, since this is not clear.) It is a new time to be out of work, in June. What's an overly motivated MT? They push and push for you to produce more and when you do they slow you down?
I was told a completely different reason why we were out of work.
There goes pay and PTO (again).
You signed nothing? Not even a HIPAA agreement? I would think she sm
would be in hot water over that. Generally, you sign the HIPAA agreement and the contract at the same time. DId you talk about pay at all and make a verbal contract?
I agree with everyone else. Until some sort of pay is establishied, I wouldn't work anymore, PLUS, not sure I would want to work there anyway with all of the phone calls and drama that you described. It sounds like you would be signing up for a duty in Hell.
I'm sorry you have gone through all of this. Good luck to you.
Signed mine in January
so, how convenient is that?
Thanks for the info - I signed the petition sm.
and I was the 54th person from Florida - kind of sad that there have only been 54 people in my whole state to have signed this - sigh, but thanks for the info - will pass along to everyone I know!
The post on the other site is by the owner. It is there signed
by her for anyone to read which shows that much of what that poster said is true and she has also posted before about the time they had to cut pay. I believe she genuinely wants things to change and is trying but she did post this on a public board about the pay problems, the plans, as well as whatever else was on her mind and it is there to be read by all so when you say what you just said, the owner posted all of the information that shows that poster was right on with what they said.
Well the stuff from the other site signed by the owner is
the owner. It's there to read.
Obviously you aren't there anymore since you signed as an ex-JLGr!

I thought about doing that - but then signed up for nursing school instead
for basically the same reasons - cannot be taken out of the country! Enjoy a change of pace. You will be a great bus driver, I'm sure.
