Not sure if they charge you for leads or not, but don't purchase anything. You can check out places like www.transcriptionresource.com to find companies, and post your resume on the boards.  Most of those work at home leads places are dead links to so called jobs.   I found my jobs on this board. HTH  Good luck!!

Yes, I would like to purchase one or if it is more cost effective to have on built I would like to do that. The platform that I use now is VERY expensive. If some knows of a company that can build one for me I would appreciate the info.

insurance.  For vacations, I work an extra day a week for a twice a month for a couple months going into the month of my vacation.  As for holidays, I usually work them.  I look at it as being blessed enough to have a job at home where I can be with my girls and so if my usual days off happen to fall on the holiday, I usually volunteer to work 1/2 day, usually in the evening of the holiday so I can have the day with my girls and I work after they are in bed.  Hope this helps!

I found this.  Now it sounds to me like that means they possibly have a list of people they plan to let go? And they can let go the rest at any time?   There was prior mention of MDI supplying T with a list of people making over $35,000.  Would they be the peope on Schedule 6.11?  The entire document is here:  http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/858452/000119312509183673/dex20.htm

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.

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.

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.    

I checked into the self employed insurance (Mega Life) and the deductibles are high -- which I could tolerate -- but if you go into the hospital the deductible must be met for each occurence.   So if you have two surgeries -- I broke my leg and had surgery for placement of a rod and plate, etc.   Ten months later it comes out -- deductible for each has to be met.   I have worked insurance also and their plan is hard to understand what each covers.  You pay for your basic and add on -- chemotherapy, outpatient labs, etc.   I went with a high deductible but where I put money in a tax free account to pay the deductible should I need it.  I am self employed so it works for me.  Most of the docs I type for give me free office visits and labs done in their office as well as prescrition samples.   But then have only been to the doctor three times in the past 3 years.     But do a search for medical insurance and you will get a lot of info.   But with the difference of over $200 for a $2000 deductible, I saved that in a year and like I said it is pre tax account.
