so I cannot really answer your question about the family plan, but no one had responded, so I at least wanted to say hello.  I have medical ($1000 deductible), vision, and dental for $129.86 per pay period for single coverage.  I'm glad you cleared that up about the license thing because that threw me!  (smile).

I do not know what the percentage of ESLs is on my acccount.  It is a Meditech/C-phone count, and the lines are not really difficult to obtain.  The only problem I have is me ... can't seem to find my focus lately.  :(

Good luck! 

it would be to expect this:  We require a minimum of 1200 lines per day.  This must be achieved within 1 week of starting on an account. For radiology accounts, we require a minimum of 120 reports per day.  I ask how reasonable due to the fact of learning a new account, a new platform in all probability, getting down the account specs for each and every account if in a pool, entering with each report POSSIBLY new short cuts/macros if current Expander does not work with their system, loading of demographics in particular or whether they populate, and all the things, including ESLs, that impact production especially when starting over.

Keystrokes states nothing about a training period before starting on an account.  Any current Key Strokes employees want to comment? 

I saw posts regarding 1,000 and 2,000 deductible.  Is this the difference between BCBS gold and silver plan?  Also do they have a category for just yourself and spouse  or is it just family.  Since family could include umpteen children, I would think there would be a cheaper class for just you and spouse? 

Not eligible for quite a while and haven't receive info yet from company. Just trying to make sure this will work for us or if I need to seek different employment.  We will be needing me to cover us as hubby is retiring soon.

TIA

I am especially interested in rate, copays, deductible, and prescription coverage, if possible.  Thanks very much!

I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet.  Any infor or recommendations appreciated ... 

Thanks!

Just got put on an acct for 9 cents per gross line plus $1.00 per report, did not know how it would work out because by other account pays 14.5 cpl.  Well, let me tell you I am making 10-13 dollars more per hour, what about that!!!!

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.

You might want to check it out because I don't think KS is offering benefits any longer, I believe after the first of the year they went to IC status only.  But it could be a case-by-case basis, who knows.

I work for TransHealth and they have pretty good benefits, medical, life, dental and vision, PTO, sick days, and paid holidays, and direct deposit, and they do not hold anything back or do you have to wait to get paid like you do with some companies you have to wait a month before you get your first paycheck, or 3 weeks, with TH, I was paid like 10 days later for training, as well as, my money was in the bank when they said it was going to be there.  I like TH very much, nice company to work, for me.  TH is looking for MTs and I think they had a QA opening as well.  I would apply to TH if you need benefits.  Mine are very inexpensive, and there was no waiting period either, I started like September 15th, and my insurance was in effect on October 1st. 

Can someone give me details on the type and price of insurance available at Keystrokes.  Am thinking of applying with them in the near future but need insurance info as that would make my decision for me.  Price for family or employee/spouse, office visits covered with copay, prescriptions, etc.

Thanks for any information you may be able to give me.

This company's actions in this matter are simply disgraceful.  I was made to feel that I was the ONLY one in the company distressed over the inadequate insurance offerings.  When I received the AFLAC brochures, I trashed them.  Supplemental insurance is useless to those without comprehensive primary coverage.  Their excuses get more creative each time I inquire (i.e., The reason we can't get better coverage is because most of our employees are women...; most of our employees are married and covered already so they don't even CARE about insurance...; yada yada yada...).

So...while they continue to explore the options, and promise us weekly that things are almost finalized, many of us are just hoping to stay well.  In 2007 I was told that the only oustanding issue was whether office visits would cost $20 or $30.  Shame on them.

I'm at least relieved to know I'm not alone here.

Just wondering.
