I thought the deductible was 500 vs 1000 (gold vs silver) but I guess I better go check! sm

In Reply to: Webmedx insurance question - coverage for self and spouse? (sm) - Curious

As for policy levels, yes, you can get coverage as a single; as a couple; and self / family, with concurrent cost changes. Dental is great too.

Now, where did I put a copy of my BCBS plan... hmmm!

There are 2 tiers-Silver & Gold sm
Silver is less, I have gold and I want to say it's about $75/pay period.  $500 deductible, low copays.  I believe 90 days is the waiting period but you'd have to ask the recruiter--I've been here a long time.
$1000 deductible
I'm single and I pay $75 per period for the $1000 deductible, $25 office visit.  There is also a $2000 deductible option that a single person would pay $37.50 per pay period, $30 office visit. 
MTSOs with insurance deductible 1000 or less? nm

AARP was $800 per month, single. $1000 deductible. SM
I know personal insurance is reasonable for people under 50, really I do, but I'm not under 50, I'll be 60 in June. I have checked all over and, even with spousal insurance, it is 800-850. There is an insurance crisis in this country of epic proprotions and I don't see it being solved anytime soon.

I'm willing to pay well for my insurance, even though I am healthy now, but not 800 and up and those didn't even cover a yearly PE. Even my crummy Spheris insurance pays for that.
I pay approximately $113 per pay period for single coverage, $1000 deductible.
Hope this helps.
I guess I misunderstood, I thought the
topic I was responding to was how TT paid, whether by the line or keystroke, which I still feel is a question best taken up with TT. I don't believe that TT skimps on lines, nor would I suggest asking management such an inane question. But you have to know that someone down the line will respond to a TT question on this board with They don't pay for Expanders or normals simpley because they read it here, no matter how the original information was phrased. Yes, this will start another rumor.
I guess my first thought after reading your message is if this is so, why did you
apply there. Apparently people come to you and you don't have to, right?
ouucchh. i thought $1.25 was low. lol guess it depends
i know i wouldn't type for that. however, some may be thrilled with that rate.


Sorry you didn't get your check. Guess different areas are different.

It was supposed to be funny..sorry..guess I'm the only one who thought it was. You have to laugh
yourself most days in this business or you'd probably cry
I thought so too but wanted to check...(sm)
well..that's weird..I just went back to look at the job description again and it's gone!!!  Very strange....
My thought too which is why I did a check on the company
and apparently the company does some transcription.  I also have a watch on my credit report, etc., so will know if I am a victim of identity theft.  I will know where to start looking!!
Never thought to check that way. I am getting a few reports here and there (sm)
But don't want to spend my whole Sunday back and forth checking for work to get my hours in.

May I ask, how long have you been with them? Do they overhire to train for new accounts or are these new people just added on to keep TAT in check?

Yes I did. I thought it was an oversight on their part to not send cards, guess not.

I guess I could have missed a number, but thought I dialed it correctly nm

I've worked there 7 years and had what I thought was a problem with my check, but that was

due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.


Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.


I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm

Looking for the silver lining--Thanks!

I suppose any raise is a good thing.  I think I am just bummed after waiting 2 years for any sort of raise, and then finding out that it's impossible to achieve a perfect score because of the nature of my accounts.  Perhaps if I had easy-to-please physicians, who did not require full QA for perfect reports, then I would get my 1/2 cent raise.  SoftScript has nothing in place for MTs working on difficult accounts, and chooses to punish them instead.  On the other hand, it is good to know that raises are scarce across the board with most companies.  I guess I'm not alone!


Did your's come no a silver platter, 'cause
.
Let me hand you this perfect job on a silver platter

:-(


I assume some of you see the dark cloud in every silver lining, eh? nm

A heart of gold, there. :(
.
Gold star for you.
My pay was constantly screwed up, constant IMs, they didn't tell anyone I quit and I got IMs/emails demanding I log in for my shift, the owner is unpleasant to say the least although she does put on a good I'm your friend, we're a team show. The insurance as an employee is extremely expensive. As an IC there you also have a set schedule. Hence, not really IC.
How do you compare this to Sylcount IV Gold. nm
:
I like Sylcount Gold. Has tons of counting options.

Hospital accounts can be worth their weight in gold.
I work for a hospital, and I'll never go back to a national again. However, I do believe I work for the best hospital on the planet, too.

We are on production, but if we run out of work, we're still paid (they value their MTs). Great benefits, fantastic incentives, Planetree philosophy, conscientous dictators, life doesn't get much better than this.

Strongly consider working for a hospital rather than a service. I think you'll be happy.
TT - ext text. Why are some voice jobs gold/yellow instead of white? nm
 
yes, Blue Fox Software out of Illinois. Microsoft partner, Gold Standard, etc.
they make White Tiger, a business intelligence system, and their top programmer is Tom. I'm sure they can make something very nice for you. Tell them Jo sent you! link below
What's the deductible?
what is the deductible?
Thanks! It wasn't deductible at all when I was an IC. sm
But I will never work as an IC again and I could not get an independent policy anyway, having had cancer and ongoing therapy.  A lot of MTs are in this position with either age, a serious disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.  It just isn't that easy to get self-insured anymore.  That's why I don't understand companies who don't offer benefits.  The last figures I saw, benefits were worth about 1.5 cents a line.  Something to figure in when considering great wages.  Thanks for the information.
2500 deductible
Does this still have the 2500 deductible? Doesnt pay copays to doctor visits either?
$80 for $500 deductible, cheaper w/
.
actually I need to clarify the deductible sm
thing. It is a 4000 for hubby and I. But, they give you a benny account that has $3000 in the account. You can use it for your deductibles which would leave you with $1000 out of pocket. You can also use it to pay for medications but medications do not come off your deductible so if you use it all for that, you could get in a mess if you have a hospitalization. You would have to pay 4000. If you don't use the money it carries from year to year. So its not as bad as it sounds.

As far as the lady who wanted what Canada has; I understand her frustration. But, you would be waiting forever just to have a simple x-ray or MRI and forget surgery. Canadian health care system is not all that great, that's why lots of those folks come here.

I can't say I know the answer, but that is not it. Its a sad thing in this country though the health care situation
high deductible for medical
the basic plan has a 3000 deductible and costs $20 per pay or you can get 'better' coverage with a 2500 deductible or 1500 deductible. naturally these cost more per pay period as well. Other than that all the other benefits are decent and the night shift people start earning PTO immediately and can use it after 90 days, as opposed to 1st and 2nd shift who have to wait a year.
Various high deductible plans when
Back in 12/05, they had 3 high deductible plans, lowest deductible of which was $1500. Believe it was 1st of month after 90 days when it kicked in. Don't know if it's changed since then.
$15 copay for PCP visits, $750 deductible. nm

Large deductible and everything out of pocket.

I pay $140 a month total for $500 deductible-WMX

BC/BS with $1K deductible, dental is normal sm
coverage and as the person below pointed out, you are wrong on the PTO.  Also, last year we were allowed to choose a plan with a lower deductible and pay for it and that choice was not given to us this year.  Why don't you try telling the truth about Webmedx instead of prettying up everything?
I think you're confusing the deductible with the premium. sm

Family coverage is not $1000 a month in premiums. 


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.
you don't have to be IC to deduct that - just do an itemized 1040 and it is deductible even if yo

Excellent benefits at TT. I have PPO coverage with a fairly low deductible
and pay $42 per pay period. The coverage is with First Health and they do offer coverage in all states. Good prescription drug coverage also ($10 copay). Hope this helps.
is the deductible for insurance still 2500 bucks w/ no copay for doc visit?
That is the sole reason I quit. That and the fact they switched me from account to account as soon as I started making a decent line rate with one.

They also have the ability to slow down how fast you can download files. They slipped and told me that it was to help control traffic on the server.
With Transtech insurance, do you have to meet deductible before office visits are covered? nm

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company.  I work days (and some nights) with this company.  I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night.  Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working.  Do you have to have set hours at your company #2?  Thanks for the suggestion.
Does background check include credit check?

Are you serious? Someone doing 1000 lph?
I have not seen that. Don’t know how in the world that would be done.
