About 1-1/2 years ago, I paid almost $600/month for COBRA. sm
That was for medical, dental, vision, one person. Hope this helps. It is tremendously expensive, but it does get you by until you get something else.
Good luck! 
ended it
If you don't think you are selling yourself cheap then what business is it of anyone else to tell you? Not mine. If you are happy with what you make that is all that matters. I understand.
But it sounds like you have benefits that would amount to a lot of money. That means a lot. Health ins. for less than $100 per month. That is worth so much. Keep bragging and letting me know how great Transtech is because you are letting me know that yes there are good MT jobs out there. That gives me hope to know there are good companies.
ended up almost 2400
So what? You are a critical person. So what? Just because my post may be sloppy due to trying to hurry doesn't mean I am a bad transcriptionist. However, your nasty post speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.
Can I ask..where you ended up?? Any other suggestions out there.
Boy, it's almost impossible to find a decent company these days..
I ended up at Transtech...sm
I am considered a rehire, so if I ever wanted to I could go back to MW, but don't see that happen, at least not at this time.
How ironic!! Game just ended. Sox won.
c
I did, too, but I ended up working for YOG until the Squid ate it. nm

right; and I did not quit my old job, ended up staying with my old job.
nm
Wanted to say thanks for all your back and forth here. I ended up with several resumes looking for
I guess if you slam a company on here, everyone already knows you are a disgruntled ex-employee with no skills and know that there are openings available. I appreciate as we have so many new accounts coming in and just starting. I really needed the extra ICs. WOW This is awesome!!
Every 2 weeks on Monday. Pay period ended
this past Sunday and I will get paid next Monday, 11/12.
Cobra
By law, if you have elected cobra coverage, and you have not received the paperwork, the insurance company has to carry you until you do receive the paperwork. I just went through this and I was very nervous because I have all kinds of health problems. The insuring agency said that paperwork was usually slow, but even if it was over 30 days, as long as you get your payment in when you do receive the paperwork, they can't drop you. A good place to check also is the National Association of the Self-Employed (NASE). They have all kinds of insurance plans. Best of luck to you!
COBRA
Can anyone out there give me any information on Cobra? There is just my husband and myself. Would it cover my husband?
Who would offer such a rate if they actually ended on paying anyone that or the accounts are....
probably awful, all ESL or something. No one pays 11 cpl these days so I figured there was a catch.
Your reading comprehension is very poor. No wonder you ended up with that bridge - sm
The message is to write to your representative on your own behalf.
We used COBRA and my insurance, thank God. sm
I can't imagine either and he is a top-level engineer (over $130k) but we have heard that it is becoming the norm to wait 90-180 days. They did give him a stipend though to help with COBRA.
Unemployment/COBRA
They said we should apply for unemployment asap but how can we do that if we are still working for them until 7/7?
Also, how much is unemployment usually? I've never been on it. I've heard it is about 66% of your usual pay? Is this correct?
Also... can you apply for Medicaid with unemployment? The COBRA rate is at least $540 for myself and my daughter. :(
COBRA - MEDICAID
Why do you need to apply for Medicaid along with Cobra? Did I understand this to be what you said?
Insurance COBRA
Usually, you're given the chance to maintain insurance premiums on your own so that you won't have a gap in coverage. I've been issued a certificate of continuing coverage twice when I had to leave a job so that I would qualify for ongoing insurance of some kind. Check into COBRA rules on this with your present company. Congrats on new job.
Anyone having a problem getting Cobra through
nm
Unfortunately, no. The last job I had the COBRA was too expensive, so I did
not get it, and had about a 4-month lapse.
Does anybody know the rates for COBRA?
I am about to lose my health insurance since I cannot make the full time line requirements. Does anybody have a guess as to how much I would have to pay for COBRA for one person? Thanks in advance for any help! 
Cobra Rates
My paperwork states the coverage is available to you At the current group rates. Meaning, the total amount being paid both by yourself and your employer per month.
Need Cobra info
By law Spheris has to provide you with the information for Cobra. It sometimes takes several weeks to hear, if you think it has been to long....suck it up and call them...you are only hurting yourself by not getting the information for it. If it makes you feel better mention to the person you are talking to that you have a great new job and won't be needing the Cobra for that long. :-)
Cobra rates for TT. Anyone know? sm
Am leaving TT to take an in home customer service job for a local business. Definitely going to be worth it as it pays great money for me, PTO, vacation and full benefits. Would like to know if anyone has left TT and taken the Cobra? Looking to know the cost for just employee.
COBRA only available for 18 months...you MUST do forms...sm
don't get the paperwork in and they have no reason to carry you. With COBRA, all you do is stay on a group insurance plan and pay the full price. Not the best choice for price conscious medical insurance UNLESS you have ANY medical conditions. If you are completely healthy, (no hypertension, diabetes, basically any diagnosis, even neck pain) you can get individual. Think about a high deductible ($5000 yr) if you don't go to the doctor or maybe only go once a year. Then also check out a Health Savings Account (plenty of info on web and at government web sites). But COBRA is not an insurance. It is only allowing you to get in on a group plan at the group price but you pay it all, including what your employer was paying for you.
she's sweet as pie then spits like a cobra. RUN FAR AWAY.

You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
Are employers required to offer Cobra?
nm
I wasn't there long enough, put in a 2-week notice but ended up leaving early, footpedal and last
s
I just left. Need Cobra info. Lost the mail and wonder...
I am flailing financially but have a wonderful new job where I am treated like a human being and compensated for my dedication.
I cannot tell you so you'd understand how much more happy I am now. But, I have no insurance and have a preexisting so I lost my mail and can't gather the strength to call and talk with the staff who suddenly sound so distant. Blah
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you.
Without Naming Company, Does anyone know cost of COBRA for out-of-state employees?
x
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port. I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like. I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
Got mine the very next day Fed-Ex.
nm
Same with mine.
I started working at 6:30 a.m. and we were still working on the day before! By 8:00, it was gone! That never used to happen!
Because they are getting rid of mine
a huge producer of tons of work by December if they don't sign on DQS and so far they want no part of it. That is why I am on a new account on DEP, mine is going bye bye.
On mine, many MTs with 10+ yrs exp. SHOULD be on 100% QA!

Hey. that is all mine will eat too--sm
Fancy Feast, and only the pate kind, with an occasional fliet thrown in for differentiation.
shhh- about the wrong board, or everything will be deleted in the transfer. lol.
Mine too. sm
Seems to be okay, only takes about 30 seconds to download.
Mine low too
can you work 2 accounts if you ask for one?
I got mine on E-Bay for $500
One thing you have to realize is Dragon doesn't work efficiently on most platforms. It is great in MSWord, but when you have to type in most if not all these different platforms that are Word-like programs,(these platforms actually pull from your personal Word program) it prints a character at a time, not good! (most of these platforms have all kinds of security and nonmicrosoft programs will not work inside the platform) I can still use mine but I have to open WordPad and speak to that and then copy and paste into the platform program.
There are some who will say you have to tweak it a bit to work in some of these platforms, but you still loose a lot of functionality.
I love this program as it has helped with my carpal tunnel immensely, but don't think for a moment that with this program, once you have it trained you are going to be making big bucks. Yes, you line count will go up a bit and I mean a bit. You are not going to get rich. People need to understand this is not a program where you have very little typing and the money will just roll in. You have to be realistic.
Yes, that is sad and mine
worked the first time
they pay mine
I've been working there a year. Paid internet was part of my job offer. Maybe this is a new policy or you have to ask for it?
They pay mine too.
Also, been there a little over a year. Love my job!
I got mine
It is refundable after 3 years of employment. If you leave before 3 years you get it back when they receive the equipment back. I received my deposit upon 3 years of employment without having to ask for it. I was pleasantly surprised, figured it would take awhile and need a few emails!
Mine too BUT..
The CEO called me personally and fixed mine as soon as I notified them that this happened. The company had no idea wbout this. They were great! I even sent them proof of fees that I incurred and they reimbursed those too..I am very happy with the fix
Mine's not there either yet!
This is the first time it hasn't been there on pay day in the AM! I'm freaking out! I left a message with the office to find out why.
