Medware raised premiums
Posted By: MT-er on 2006-10-12
In Reply to:
Medware no longer has good benefits, at least as far as affordability goes. They recently increased the premiums and if you live in certain states, they are extremely high. Expect to pay between $100 to $200 a month in premiums depending on which state you live in.

Yes I have children that I raised alone
and the last one grew up and left in 1994. Back then people did not take junk pay for work. They refused it and back then we got what we asked. Maybe you were not a QA person then (neither was I BTW), but when I decided to go for it, I got still only half what I earned as an MT with over 25 years of acute care experience, any work type. It's not the average wage in your town. It is national and I find that no matter who you work for, you can get a decent wage...well almost...if it weren't for you who take less money. It was easier two years ago.
It's all in how you learn to negotiate.
Please rethink that $14 and not a penny less than $15 bottom cuz if you do take $14, that makes them think the wage is ok.
I am on your side, but please think hard about this.
The fact that she said *raised*,
as if by taking them to daycare 6 or 8 hours a day 5 days a week is considered raising kids, was rather insulting to all moms who have ever had to take their children to daycare. It's meant to cause guilt, which isn't what the OP needs right now.
Daycare facilities do not raise children. They care for them while their parents are working and trying their best to support them. In the end, it's the parents who make sure that their children are raised, not daycare.
What's wrong with that opinion?!
I was born and raised outside of Philly...sm
all my family is still there. Live in Oregon now, but would go back in a heartbeat! Nothing like being close to New York, AC, Washington DC, not to mention all the great food in Philly and the wonderful WaWa! Mmmm, TastyKakes and cheese steaks!
Don't know if they've ever raised their pay above 7 and 8 cpl. It's been that rate for year
s
Very difficult and they raised the minimum lines per wk. nm
premiums
How much are the premiums going to be? I turned down employment a while back because of the high price tag for health insurance.
(and what their premiums/copays are) sm
I can get insurance but there is a huge deductible, preexisting condition clause (of course) and OK copay--that is only relevent IF you can get through the $2000 deductible. How sick do you need to be make this kind of insurance work for you? If you just have well care visits, yearly stuff, you dont even get through that deductible and its cheaper to pay it yourself!
TransHealth: What is the insurance and premiums
nm
You can't deduct insurance premiums if
they are taken out pretax if FT employee.
With regard to insurance premiums, sm
Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision. It is probably another 100 a month.
Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?
Insurance premiums question
Are there any companies that have health+dental insurance premiums for self, spouse and child(ren) for less than $400 total in premiums a month? Meaning, less than $200 taken out of each paycheck for premiums? Thank you for any leads.
Lower Health Insurance Premiums
Can anyone provide your average monthly cost for individual and/or family health insurance premiums? I'm looking to change employers and most companies will not provide this information until after an applicant has gone through all the testing. Who wants to bother with all that if the monthly health insurance premiums are outrageous? The company I am with now has a very reasonable plan, and I need to find something comparable. I would greatly appreciate any information you can give. Thanks so much for your time!!
Yes, that is pretty average in family ins premiums.
Maybe that'll help you some.
9 cpl for IC, 7.5 cpl for employee. Insurance premiums are high.
Not to mention that they want you to only type one space instead of two after a period. That may not be an issue for you, but I am am just giving my opinion. I wasn't going to do it.
With little to no work, the company doubled my premiums - nm

How are they dishonest for taking out premiums for insurance that we signed up for? sm
Wow. People will bash any company for any reason.
Actually, I didn't, but my point is taking out double premiums for insurance sm
and I am glad that you find my distress so amusing. Perhaps you can go pick some wings off flies too while you're at it.
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm

Does anyone have any comments on working for Medware? Thanks!
Medware
Thanks for your input!! I'm job shopping and want to make a better decision this time.
Medware
Does anyone know what Medware is paying these days? They seem to have a lot of ads for help in transcription and for the Dictaphone platform.
medware pay
I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me. They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp). I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.
Medware for me
Love my account, direct deposit every 2 weeks and the insurance is affordable. My supervisor is really cool and understanding, we get along great. 1 year and counting, hope for many more. Good luck to you.
Medware
Hi! I just started with them last week and so far it has been really great. They are all really nice and I have had wonderful training. You get paid by the hour for the first 4 weeks so you have time to learn the system (which the system itself is excellent and extremely easy)Your rate is determined by experience so I don't know other than my own. I guess you have to ask them about the schedule, but mine is just what I need. The staff is very, very nice. I think you would really like it. If you will notice, there is tons of negative stuff about all the MT companies on this board, but Medware has a lot less negative than some of the others (I looked through it before I started.) I think you should try it.
I am with Medware
Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.
Osi does and I think Medware nm

Medware
Has anyone out there worked for Medware? I have gotten a job offer from them and just wondered how they are to work for. Thanks for any help
Medware which one?
Which Medware are you all praising? Where is it located?
Medware
They are located in Florida.
Medware
Hi, am thinking about Medware. How do you like it? What is it really like. Do they have a good training program. I was very impressed with the marketeer. He seemed very accommodating and willing to work with me. Just wondering what the scoop is. Thanks in advance
Medware
ty so much for your response. w/ so many companies out there unsure of what to do. I have been transcribing for 3 years and just getting my line count up. Plus being fairly new on the block was unsure whether I would fit in. Just how easy would it be for a fairly new comer to fit in. I need a little encouragement and a small amount of TLC, but just for a short time.
Medware
Does Medware pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
You probably should ask Medware
accurate rate. They are a very good company however. Good luck.
Medware pay
I had 16+ years experience and Medware paid me the same as a newbie because I didn't have my CMT, although I was considered a Level III transcriptionist. Also, having your CMT, you are still maxed out on the pay. I had heard that Medware wasn't really hiring anymore MT because they were outsourcing to India and they were only hiring editors or turning MTs within the company into editors. At one time, they were a good company to work for. I have been gone for a year so things may have changed. This was just my experience with the pay scale.
Medware
Medware is still hiring MTs. Only one area of the company deals with the Indian transcription. Everything else is still done by US transcriptionists. There are 6 levels of pay -- level I, II, and III for both certified and non-certified MTs. A recruiter could better give you an idea what those rates are.
... a happy MW employee
Medware
Looking for opinions on Medware from current employees. Can anyone tell me how many transcriptionists they have, are they flexible at all, do they offer part-time, positives and negatives? Most importantly, are you making any money with them? Thanks.
MedWare? Can anyone tell me anything?
I have been offered a position and am hesitant to take it, can anyone give me any insight? Thanks for any info you can provide.
MedWare
They sound almost too good to be true! How many ESLs do you have to do, on average?
Medware
Does anyone have any info on the job posted today by Medware for MTs with ExText experience? Considering applying and am wondering if anyone who works for them part time can tell me if there is any flexibility with them, line rate range, pay for headers, spaces, etc., and can anyone "in the know" tell me what account this is starting up? Also some general info on the company - how many MTs they have, do they offer any benefits at all for part time? Thanks in advance!
Medware pay?
Anyone know approximately the starting pay at Medware for IC and employee? Does anyone know if they are hiring for psychiatry or therapy accounts?
Medware or OSI
Offered jobs by both, appreciate any help.
Medware or OSi
I worked for OSi for 2 yrs and recently left to join Medware. Medware is a better run company. Their people are more professional and knowledgeable. It is just a great place to work!!
There have been a lot of OSi people leave and go to Medware in the past month.
Medware
I tested for Medware 2 weeks ago and have not heard from them. I know I did well on the test. Anyone know if they are really hiring?
Anyone know what Medware
Medware ICs
Hi! Does anyone happen to know if you can switch from employee to IC at Medware?
Also, if you are an IC, what time frame do you have to do your work?
THANKS!!
Medware
I applied for Medware today. Any information would be most appreciated 
Medware
Medware is top rated by AAMT because most of Medware's management happen to be AAMT officers or former officers - brings to mind The fox guarding the henhouse.
I don't rave about them. I did work for them for awhile, but their platform was not my cup of tea, nor do I agree with their outsourcing.
Medware
I agree - the management nominates themselves and then they vote for themselves. Medware has some very active members in AAMT.
Medware also offshores in a very big way. You can run a check on Google for Medware India to see for yourself.
Medware
Medware does. Also, just saw that Cymed offers it but I don't know anything about that company.
Medware or MDI-FL...
Has anyone worked for both companies and could tell me which is better? Trying to decide which company is better. The offer is about the same for both, benefits seem about the same, so just trying to decide who is the easiest to get lines with, easiest to work with, etc. I have looked through the archives and good and bad about both, so not sure what to do. Thanks in advance. 
Medware or MDI-FL (sm)
I have never worked for MDI-FL but have heard good things about them.
I now work for Medware and am very happy there. The system is great. My Team Lead is the best when it comes to being flexible...he is very understanding, also has a great sense of humor which is a must in my book! It is great working with some of the most professional leaders in this industry.
I do believe I have found my home.
You have talked to both companies, so compare and make the best decision you can. Good luck!
