Anyone know of a GOOD company with affordable health insurance?
Hi. I am a 14+ year MT. I love the company I am with but they offer NO benefits whatsoever. Does anyone know of a company that is looking for a dependable MT that offers reasonably priced health insurance and would give at least 9-1/2 cents a line (which is what I am getting now). Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
affordable insurance
I work in a hospital which is merging and our department will be outsourced. I am looking for a job with afforable insurance. I would have a new job today if not for the cost of family insurance, over $400 every two weeks. I've only worked in hospitals were insurance is usually around $100 per pay period for the family so $400 came as a huge shock to me. My husband as some pre-existing conditions so getting a personal policy is out of the question. Anybody know of a company with afforable family insurance?
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).
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!!!
Looking for a company with affordable health insurance.
Anybody work for Proscript or DSG, can you tell me how much you pay for husband and wife coverage? Thanks so much.
Is WEBMEDX's health insurance affordable?
Can anyone tell me more about their benefits, including the health insurance? Thanks so much.
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!
Axolotl has great affordable insurance!
Their rates are better than any MT company that I know of.
Anybody work for TransHealth as an employee and how do you like it? Is the insurance affordable?

Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Define affordable? What may be affordable to one person may not be to another. nm

Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
Spheris supes/QA are good, insurance not good; they offshore
nm
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Insurance not good
I work for Spheris and I have had their insurance for the past 2 years. In that time i have never been to the doctor. However, I have a history of breast cancer and was told I would not be covered as far as getting mammograms. Also the deductible is 3000. So, I will just have to go without insurance.
Pay and health insurance good.
Some of the QA who work for Precyse are the finest people this side of heaven. I couldn't keep up with my lines and what I had typed, so I moved on. Overall, a good company and they handle a lot of Baptist accounts with people you can understand.
Re: Diskriter. How good is the insurance and what's

They pay half and it is really, really good insurance. nm

Does anyone know of any GOOD, reasonably priced, health insurance?- sm
I would love to find a good health insurance company that I can purchase independently. I LOVE the company I work for but unfortunately they do not offer health benefits. I greatly want to stay with them, but in need of some serious health insurance. Does anyone know of a plan that I could look into that is reasonably priced? Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated since one trip to the ER could make a huge bill....Thanks!
Can you tell me if this is for good insurance, deductible, copay etc..??
I had a good rate before when I had insurance but the deductible was $5000 and no copay so it wasnt worth it.
It is $400 a month, but they pay half. It is good insurance, too. sm
I recently had surgery and my only costs were my deductible. The hospital split that $1000 into 10 months for me, so it was not so bad, and now the rest of the year, I am past my deductible. It is a LOT better than the insurance I had with Spheris.
The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
I actually hope that they don't change, but I know that it is a big hassle for the office because they are in the middle. Too big to be individual coverage rates and too small for the best rates. I talked with the HR manager, and she told me that the rates they were given for one company tripled once all the worksheets were in. They based the price on the worst case scenario or worst health. Now they can get a flat rate but only if half of the FT employees sign up. I could here the frustration in her voice when I was talking to her. Insurance companies do not always play fair.
Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Transolutions? Anyone know how good their medical insurance benefits are, costs, etc..specifically
family coverage. They say you only have to work 32 hours to be eligible so I'm curious what their benefits are like. Thanks
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
Very affordable!
I have found that Webmedx's insurance is very affordable, more so than a lot of the other MTSOs out there.
okay but is it affordable? for 2?nm

Affordable benefits
Are the benefits affordable?
Benefits are very affordable...sm
Benefits are under 200 biweekly for me, and that includes family gold plan, dental plan, vision plan, and life insurance for my husband and kids. As well, they provide long and short-term disability, 401K, an some other stuff I don't remember.
Depends on what you consider affordable.
It is expensive, but far less than what you would pay if you went it on your own. Employer picks up at least half the tab, possibly more. I know I would pay around $1200-1500 for my family on my own and right now for a family of 6 I pay a little over $550, but that's pretax so actually it reduces down to the equivalent cost to me of about $460 net. For 6 people, I can't complain.
Also, the insurance is pretty good in my opinion. The dental insurance is awesome and under $30 a pay period for entire family (no pre-pay or deductibles) and everyone in my area takes both the dental and the medical.
Not sure on what you mean by 1 or 10 kids. Aren't most insurances this way? They cover yourself or yourself and spouse or yourself, spouse and children. Haven't seen one where each additional child causes the premium to rise.
You have to type 150 lines an hour to qualify, which is pretty easy if you know anything about MT'ing. Have never ever gotten close to that low amount except when first training, even with multiple unknown accounts once in a while. Haven't heard of the 10,000 lines per pay period before.
Does DSG have affordable health benefits? SM
Any idea on the cost of this? Thanks, :-)
What is Medware's pay range and is the ins. affordable? nm
You will not find any affordable family
about the same and very expensive. Just the insurance market I guess, my husband's company has it available and with both of our incomes it is a large portion of our monthly expenses. Just my 2c, but I have asked every company I have ever interviewed with and today, family insurance rates are just unaffordabe everywhere.
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
Nope, not affordable. At least not when I left. nm
nm
Still not affordable but better than my husband's so we have no choice. sm
His company is $1410 for a family of 4 and none of us have any illnesses or surgeries. Highway robbery.
We pay $710 a month at Keystrokes. Still high but half.
Does the company you work for have affordable (sm
health insurance? Can you share the name of the company on here or via e-mail? TIA.
affordable health coverage
Could anyone one give the names of companies they work for with good health and dental coverage (individual plans) at an afforadable cost? Any info given is appreciated. I consider affordable as not too much more than $100 per month---80/20 plans okay, but prefer 100% coverage plans if they are out there with reasonable deductibles. I know this is a tall order! It can also be a noncompany plan, if anyone knows of a great insurance company plan outside of the job. I am 45 and in good health, just borderline hypertensive (if there is such a thing---although it does make my rate go up).
Thanks!
companies with affordable benefits
Does anyone know any companies that are hiring that have affordable insurance for family? I need to get a position with insurance. Thank you for any replies.
Very affordable for individual, high for families, sm
but I think all insurance is high for families. 6 holidays, a few days PTO until you've been there over 6 years. (and they keep changing the PTO yearly).
I believe they have several to choose from - affordable and decent coverage, IMO
nm
I have single coverage - affordable - but don't know about family. Call them.
nm
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.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
