not paying for life or dental
Not many companies pay for dental or life. With the way things are going in this county, can you blame them? If we still have work, keep working! I am not giving up on this company until I get my OUT THE DOOR NOTICE! Believe me- I sure in the heck don't want that to happen- love my accounts and the fact that we do not have to do a time clock. Yes, we need to work our schedules, but not punching in and out is a good feeling!
Yes, medical, dental, vision, and life

But no longer paying for spaces IS a pay cut...?
If spaces previously being paid for are no longer being paid, that constitutes a pay cut; not in the sense of cents per line or cents per character, but nonetheless a cut in pay.
Your post totally confused me.
No longer paying any PTO for part-timers
With the push of a button and an email going out, they informed their MT's today NO MORE PTO for PT.
It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
I believe Jan 1. I already used the dental,
and it paid 100%. Just got the EOB today. And with my great new dentist, I just showed my card and they filed it, and I didn't have to pay it myself like I did with my last dentist. They didn't even file it for me.
Dental
We get an occasional dental surgery report on some of our hospital accounts.
Just FYI: I had extensive dental work and oral surgery done 2 years ago and asked both places about their transcription. They said they do it inhouse.

Dental Transcription
Hello does anyone know of any at home dental transcription companies?
My dental hygienist
is a guy. He makes tons of money and loves his job.
How is Medquist's dental insurance? sm
Is there a waiting period of 1 year before you can use it? If not, is there a waiting period of 1 year before you can use it for orthodontics or dentures? Some policies you have to wait a year to use it and others you can use it for fillings and such, but have to wait a year for anything really major.
How is the medical/dental for Medquist?
Curious to know before I take the test. Cost? Coverage?
Medical/Dental MedQuist
The coverage just switched in July from Aetna to United HealthCare. I have single coverage and pay $63 per pay for health and $8.58 for dental. I don't know how good this United coverage is because I haven't used it yet. But I know there are 2 or 3 different plans you can sign up for. I have to pay a little more because my doctor is an out of network doctor. I know if you have a doctor who is already in their network it's cheaper. I also have short-term disability that they take out about $11 for. I don't know about the dental because I haven't used it for a while. The only dentist on their list that was in my area was about 50 miles away. So I'm hoping nothing happens to my teeth! If you have any more questions you can e-mail me.
DSGs dental insurance
Does the dental insurance that DSG offers have a $1000 annual limit on amount of payout?
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?
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
Their individual insurance is $52 a mo and their dental and vision
run it up to about $60 a month. If you leave, you also get to Cobra the dental and vision together at $30 a month. I know because I left and went back. Nice folks.
about 180 per 2 weeks for family, dental, and vision.
Vision and dental are separate. 250 deductible. there is a cap of out of pocket expenses for family, I am not sure as I am not covered right now, but will in the near future. they pay 90%. Office visits Co-pay with medication co-pay. It is really a great coverage and by far the best from what other companies offer that I have found.
Hope that helps. Check them out. I think they are great to work for!
Webmedx offers PPO and good dental. nm

I pay about $75 per pay period for medical, dental, vision with TT sm
for single coverage -- I don't consider that 'huge, especially compared to other quotes I have seen. I definitely paid more than that when I had coverage on my own.
Dental is thru Metlife (good coverage). sm
Platform is their own, uses ShortHand for expander.
I paid 80 per pay period without eye or dental coverage. nm

I pay about $150 a month for single coverage, medical, dental, sm
vision, $750 deducible, $15 copay for PCP, $30 copay for PPO specialist. Hope that helps.
I have medical, dental, and vision at TransTech for about $72 per pay period. nm
I don't think you missed much. When I looked at the dental and vision plans sm
with AFLAC, it didn't look like they paid for much compared with the premium charged. I didn't talk to the representative guy, though, so maybe I misinterpreted the info. Anyway, I am trying to shop for something different, just to help cover the basics. I do wish I had taken out the disability protection with them, though ... maybe next year. :-)
I am extremely grateful for the insurance, though. So far, it seems to pay pretty well and has been a lifesaver!
Dental is Metlife; medical is BCBS w/medication plan sm
$1000 deductible but office visits are $25 co-pay. I think there is a vision option but I don't take it. DD, payday every other Monday; my checks have always been on time. Incentive plan based on total # lines produced, as well as shift differential (not much but there is one). 6 paid holidays, PTO (which is not much first year but rises after that).
As for hours, talk to the recruiter about what you want; I believe schedules are based on which accounts have needs at the time you apply.
401K - no matching.
When we signed up for the new vision and dental, it said in the forms that it started 6/1. Deductio
They were waiting for the paperwork from the insurance company, so it was delayed. Technically, the money should have come out on 6/1 and you knew this signing up for it.
I don't want to sound uncaring, but we knew when we signed up that the premiums were monthly and started 6/1. I had the extra month of $15, so I knew it would come out.
The truth is that the double was $30 but one was only $15, so it was $15 extra. If they had taken it out last month, would you have been complaining?
I personally am glad that we have vision and dental now and that every year my benefits get better rather than being taken away like with some companies.
Also, it is the bank that determines that if it falls on the 1st, it posts on Monday. My bank posts on Saturday, so not a problem. Before you complain, make sure you have something to complain about. They have also had them in on the Friday in the past, so I am not going to bash a good company for something that has not happened. If it does go on Monday, that is what we know from day one, so it is not that they are pulling a fast one or making changes; this is the way it has been for the 5 years I have worked for them.
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.
I think it starts at 90 days; Blue Cross Blue Shield. Delta dental. nm

It's been longer than that for me.
I tend to get stuck with a lot of terrible dictations most of the time, which I don't understand either, but maybe that has something to do with why I can't get a decent line count. Every time I get on the system to work, there's always some horrible dictation skipped from earlier in the day just waiting for me. Just got done with a dictation that was 9 minutes long, but took me over 30 minutes to type due to being inaudible in spots and just basically a horrible dictation overall. I didn't even get 100 lines out of it either!!
no longer there but.
Had trouble getting paid on time.
Not for much longer.
I knew going in they were not paying for headers and footers, but did not realize they were going to take the percentage off the total line count. The headers/footers only account for about 5 to 10 lines per report, so they have quite a little scam going.
Whatever, they are no longer there anyway. nm
:+
Not much longer to be an MT
Medical transcription is going the way of the dinosaurs. Voice recognition is coming in fast now. We will be editing for awhile until they perfect it and feed the corrected copies back into the VR engine to train it to understand all the docs. I would give this field 5 more years maybe. We all have to move on and find something else unfortunately:(
Longer than others for me
I think it took them a week and then I didn't even get a pass/fail but a link to go on to the next test, which seemed to be some kind of personality profile. By that time, I had hired on with another company that was my first choice.
No longer a CMT
I WAS a CMT for over 20 years, it never got me any more money, it cost me to re-certify, cost me to go to seminars for CEC's, I had one company I worked for tell me I could only go to the National Convention for 2 days and I would only be paid if I worked their booth for those two days, so what was the use of going if I was going to be stuck in a recruitment booth insead of learning at any of the seminars? I still kept plugging away spending my time and money to keep that CMT behind my name. Then my mom passed away, in all the work of getting her estate settled, condo sold, etc. I forgot to send in my fee and CEC's verification slips. When I realized it had slipped my mind I called and wrote them a letter explaining the circumstances and that I had all the CEC's earned. Even offered to send a copy of the death cert. Their reply....too bad...so sad pay again to take the certification Test. NOT
The longer MQ MT is on DQS, the less lines
we get. There is no "getting used" to the program that is taking our line counts. Very familiar with DQS, have all normals/short cuts in place, very fast typist, and DQS "eats up lines". MedRite did not do that to us. Why do you think MQ changed to DQS ? -- so that the MT's would get more lines per hour ? NOT !
Katie is no longer there either

If she's no longer there how will she see it? Ditto for
nm
You are a recruiter? Hopefully not for much longer.

This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
4-6 weeks...sometimes longer
nm
was it last fall?, or maybe longer, whenever...
nm
I am. I even sent them an e-mail that I no longer
worked for them and they still send me the stuff from Corporate. I don't get any more from the PS though.
Slave No Longer
Ditto to your post. This new compensation plan is insane. I am now having to work 12 hours a day instead of 8, while all the while making less $. I probably make less than the greeters at Wal-Mart. They expect us to be on standby during our scheduled shift, yet there is no work, and we are not compensated for this time with no work. Now I have work at midnight and on weekends in order to get my quota, and end up working what should be paid as overtime. I am going to call the labor board in my state because this cannot be legal. I suggest we all do the same.
Yes, they seem to have put in place a director of OPs that came from MQ, only to now be doing her damage at SPi. I understand she is also busy putting into place managers from MQ, so it is obvious what her agenda is...to mimic MQ, so we know where the direction of SPi is going, and it seems to hold true with this new comp plan.
In a matter of 18 months, SPi has successfully turned what was once a well-respected, successful company with a talented team of MTs and mangers that was once Cymed and turned it into a cold, disorganized machine. They have had to have have lost millions in revenue with all the clients and MTS who have quit them due to poor service and disorganization, including ongoing unresolved IT issues. It's almost as if they want to fail!
Folks, it's tiime we all stand up for what is right and make someone pay attention. What is a transcription company without transcriptionists? We are not slaves and we do have options. If SPi wants to be another MQ, then let's let them have it and see where they end up in the court system.
I have been in this profession long enough to know that you can be successful at whatever you do by working hard, treating people with respect, and never compromising your integrity, a virtue that is foreign to SPi. I for one am sick for us all at the latest turn of events and am going to spend this time when there are no jobs available making the necessary calls and then submit my resignation.
Let's all stand together and see how long this compensation plan works for them when there is no one to do the little work they have. They may have people offshore who will do it for even less than the slave wages they are paying us, so I say let them have it and suffer the consequences when what business they have left walks out the door.
Since you no longer work there
But if you need to keep repeatedly posting about your bad experience there, go ahead, its a free country. I was speaking of my current work volumes there, to another current employee. My post was not addressed former employees, and I made no mention of the validity of your past experience, so I don't understand why you felt the need to respond to my post. As you said, not everyone has the same experience, and I understand that...do you?
KC... It sounds like you are no longer there.
Could you tell me why? Was the pay on time and comparable?
WMX - no longer get hx on jobs - sm
Is this so we no longer can see who kicked back jobs and potentially report them if it is a repeat thing? Not trying to start a fuss, just curious.
