Any companies have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance? sm
I am an IC looking for a new job as an employee- need healthcare bad! Due to a pre-existing condition, Blue Cross has been the only company that will insure me so looking to get them again. Anyone know of companies that have this?
I think it starts at 90 days; Blue Cross Blue Shield. Delta dental. nm

OMG, that's wild to hear you say that.
I wasn't asked bank info, but she emailed me from a post on this board and said if I was interested in work there, forward a resume to her. Her email was in all lowercase and I never got another reply from her, so I was suspicious too. It seemed odd that someone representing an MT service would format an email in that manner. I also emailed the company directly but heard nothing. However, since then, I have seen her name on ads for the company so she must be legit. It was all kinda weird, though, I agree!
Just a wild guess
but do you suppose Naveen is recruiting for an offshore company? I'm probably guilty of profiling, but when I see an ad posted by Naveen or Parminder or Sujatha or Abhinava or Gaurav, I start to wonder.
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating.
No, they're home on the range in the ole wild west.nm
Called out of the blue...sm
Have you ever been called out of the blue by a company which you did NOT submit an ap or resume to be offered a job? Happened to me last night and I was a bit shocked. It was what you would call a cold call, I guess. Seemed odd...has anyone had a similar experience?
RE: Called out of the blue...........
If it was from Spheris, RUN LIKE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and don't look back!!!
spheris out of blue
Was contacted out of the blue by Spheris. They and MQ will fail. 
spheris out of the blue
One can only hope they fail.
Blue Meditech
The blue Meditech was the BEST (but it did not have word Expander or spell check). BUT WHO CARES, at that time you could actually get 14,000 lines a week for gross lines... no more with all of the companies not even paying for spaces! Enjoy this platform, I think it is the BEST.
The blue belts? OMG! sm
I remember those blue Dictaphone belts, too, that the doc wrote on with a white waxy pencil. We're BOTH really old MTs!
blue team
There are 4 teams, each with different managers, accounts, etc. I'm on the red team...just curious if I'd run into you!
I'm on the Blue Team!!!
You'll love our supervisor, she's the best! QA is pretty good too, though haven't had much dealings with her. She is very, very fair though and if you ever dispute your score, our supervisor will go to bat for you. Good luck...I'm sure I'll *see* you there!!!
Try Blue Hippo
Try www.bluehippo.com They don't do credit checks and you can get a computer on a weekly payment plan. I have not used them personally so can't comment there. You may also want to consider a Rent-A-Center type place. Good Luck.
Yes, per year and it's Blue Cross also.

Spoken like a true blue
You hang in there, sleep well at night?
Anyone know of Proveros? They sent me an email out of the blue.
nm
TransTech has Blue Cross nm
Acusis has Blue Cross.
A blue team account is gone
It's been around for a long time but late last week the e-mail said if working on the account to log off now, business with them has now been completed. People were switched to new primary accounts. If you didn't work on this account as a primary or secondary, you wouldn't notice a difference in the amount of work obviously.
What in the blue blazes is your problem???
Do you always have to post something negative and childish after every one of Gourdpainter's posts? I'd say you were using Mommie's PC but the kids are back in school now, so methinks this is one of the vindictive TT management trolls, angry over the fact that even though they sued her for $294.50 for defamation of character, she had the NERVE to keep posting, not properly chastised and slinking away quietly. So, I suggest YOU GO! You are really making a fool out of yourself.
Keep up the good fight, GP!!
Look in the blue column on the left- youll see
CONTACTS toward the bottom of the page. There is an option where you can email MTStars to ask this question. I'm sure that none of us can answer your question.

Ahh loyalty..... what a wonderful quality. Defend to the end will we UNTIL the table turns on you!
No one has mentioned Blue Choice for Kids
to family insurance. For instance, individual rate is around $37 for an employee. It's adding the *family* that makes it jump sky high. Blue Choice for Kids lets you insure your kid without the parent having the underlying insurance, and rates are around $110 (depending on 3 different options) per month, which comes out to around $50 a pay period. They also give basic dental check-ups, vision, and prescriptions, and doctor visits are around $35 co-pay. I did the math, and my $37 plus $50 for Blue Choice ends up being a lot cheaper than the *family* rate of $200-350 at most companies. I might mention I'm a single mom with 1 kid, so adding just one person makes the rate astronomical. Also, as a warning, I'm not sure Blue Choice is available in all states, so you'll have to check.
I'm fine with the coverage - Blue Cross - sm
and somethings are covered w/o going into your deductible. Copays are $20; drug plan; mammos, Paps covered free. However, lab work falls into the out of pocket going to your deductible; ugh.
I love the dental through MetLife.
WMX question on update this a.m. Little blue box and numbers (sm)
in upper right hand, I think the numbers might be line count, what is the other one in the blue box?
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Make sure that it is the Word version not the old blue screen. nm
xx
Heck, I don't care what it costs. It's Blue Cross, sm
accepted everywhere in my area. Only one of my docs was in the preferred tier with the last insurance and I didn't want to switch so I just paid out of my pocket. I only have myself and the rate is cheaper for me.
I have a single plan with Affordablue with Blue Cross for $184/month. sm
Not sure about the pre-existing conditions clause -- might be a 3 or 6 month waiting period. I have a $25 co-pay for office visits (5 per year), but $1000 deductible. If you're relatively healthy and just need well visit checks, it is ideal, but not sure about your situation.
I did find a site: www.healthinsurancesort.com that might help you.
Good luck!
I use Meditech with them, but it is Client Server version. Not the old blue screen! sm
I actually like the program and I really like ShortHand but I converted my abbreviations from another program into there so I did not have to start over.
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
I love it! Nothing like the old blue screen Meditech. User friendly and easy to use! sm
I also get paid gross line, which helps, but very easy to use!
I do not work for them, but I have done recruiting for companies of their type of work
It is A LOT different than regular medical transcription. The pay is a little less (unless you are proficient and fast), but the work is harder in that there are multiple people speaking and the nature of the medical advisory boards are quite detailed. I receive quite a few resumes of medical transcriptionists wanting to do this type of work, but when you test them, it is a whole different ballgame.
Good luck and let me know how you do on the test!
Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental. Hope this helps. 
There are still companies that need your work by a certain
done by then, whatever your schedule is in completing it...just as long as it is in by the deadline. I recently IC'd for a company who would send me work first thing in the morning and I had to have it back by noon the next day. That worked for me and met their contract requirements.
It does work for some companies. OTI is one. Please
don't speak for all companies when you so obviously don't know that some companies DO only hold you to a weekly quota. They've found that people still seem to fall into a rather predictable schedule, and they're able to manage accordingly. It's rather comical seeing all these posts saying that just won't work. It can and does. As an MT there, I had unlimited work available and was only on one account. It never worked better at any job I've been an MT at. Every other placed bounced me around from account to account.
Top 10 companies to work for?
The moderate size company I have been working for is closing its doors after the loss of their big account.
I'm getting mom and pop offers and private accounts, but wondering about the safety of going with a big national company.
The only big name I am aware of is MedQuist. I would appreciate simply a list of the big players. In addition, any reviews and suggestions of companies with the most satisfied workforce would be most helpful. I have a great variety of experience, but went to work for a company right out of school and I am not very aware of other medical transcription companies.
COMPANIES TO WORK FOR
ANY COMPANIES BESIDES Spheris AND MQ OUT THERE, WE HAVE CAVEMAN DIAL UP
I work IC for two companies, and have
You are an IC making your own schedule and as long as you give them some notice and don't abuse ... should not be a problem. I haven't encountered any problems taking vacation yet ... we'll see what happens at holiday time, but to me, that's their problem when they employ ICs ... you don't earn paid time off, and as an IC, you don't get paid for your time off. I don't know of any ICs who abuse it, so it should not be a problem for most.
Most companies work this way
once you start increasing your line count and making decent money, they either move you to another account or bring on the worst dictators they have. Good Luck!
I work for several companies and
one of them gave me a nice bonus. Not unheard of...
I work for 2 companies
For one company I have one main account and fill in on another account when the need it. For the second company I just have one account. I'm looking for a third company to have part-time as well. I like to have 3 *main* accounts. They are all pretty different but I have folders for each account and just glance through it as a refresher before I start working on each one.
companies to work for
Has anyone worked for Spheris or OSI. Any info would be helpful.
Most companies will work with you
Do you have a good rapport with your supervisor and good report quality? You can't expect to be in top form when you first start.
companies with work
Are there any companies out there that actually have enough work to keep you busy after they hire you and tell you there is plenty of work when there is none?
I work for 2 companies and I got something from one of them
In fact, I was surprised because I don't do much work for them and have only been with them a short time. But I got a $25 gift card and a nice card. My main company did send a card, but not a gift.
Are there any companies out there that let you work as many
Which companies have ER work?
Looking for ER transcription. Do you know which companies offer this?
Companies that work off of FTP

KSM
