      • Seems to me if you've had three appointments and are on chronic meds, - you might be dropped yourself.
      • It also depends on age. I'm 60. I haven't been to doctor - at all this year. I'm afraid to with that insur

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.

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!

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.

Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill.  Only work when you want.  It's a nice p.r.n. position.

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments

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.
