I'm an IC and have private Humana coverage
It's $99.05/month for just me. This includes $35 copay for dr visits ($50 specialist visits), $1535/55 Rx, depending on what level the medication is, $75 copay for ER visit. It's a PPO. The only really bad thing is that there is a $2000 deductible, but that's only if I have to be in the hospital and hopefully that won't happen. I'm 29, have never had a lapse in insurance and have no health problems though. You can go to ehealthinsurance.com and compare rates for private insurance if you're interested.
Starbucks has the best health coverage -

affordable health coverage
Could anyone one give the names of companies they work for with good health and dental coverage (individual plans) at an afforadable cost? Any info given is appreciated. I consider affordable as not too much more than $100 per month---80/20 plans okay, but prefer 100% coverage plans if they are out there with reasonable deductibles. I know this is a tall order! It can also be a noncompany plan, if anyone knows of a great insurance company plan outside of the job. I am 45 and in good health, just borderline hypertensive (if there is such a thing---although it does make my rate go up).
Thanks!
Health Insurance Coverage
Anyone know of any companies that offer health insurance with a company other than Aetna. Aetna is probably great insurance for most people but almost no preferred providers in my area. Would like to find Blue Cross and Blue Shield or United Health Care.
What is family health coverage like at AllType?

Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
BC/BS - single is reasonable and good coverage...
Family is outrageously expensive. I know they are trying to change it, but still expensive.
Dental is thru Metlife (good coverage). sm
Platform is their own, uses ShortHand for expander.
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Thanks.. I really needed to have good family coverage.. I guess MDI is out for me.. nm

The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
I actually hope that they don't change, but I know that it is a big hassle for the office because they are in the middle. Too big to be individual coverage rates and too small for the best rates. I talked with the HR manager, and she told me that the rates they were given for one company tripled once all the worksheets were in. They based the price on the worst case scenario or worst health. Now they can get a flat rate but only if half of the FT employees sign up. I could here the frustration in her voice when I was talking to her. Insurance companies do not always play fair.
IC also with Humana...
I am an IC with a private Humana policy as well. I pay $65 monthly for myself and 1 child. This is a high-deductible policy ($4,000) with an HSA, then 100% coverage after deductible. It includes 1 free annual exam each plus basic labs yearly. I also have some type of minimal prescription benefit, but I don't recall what it is at the moment. So far, it has been great for us. We also do not have any health problems (thanks God), so we are able to have a high-deductible plan. 
Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
Pay and health insurance good.
Some of the QA who work for Precyse are the finest people this side of heaven. I couldn't keep up with my lines and what I had typed, so I moved on. Overall, a good company and they handle a lot of Baptist accounts with people you can understand.
Ms. Huh?: I rather have good health insurnce, than

Does anyone know of any GOOD, reasonably priced, health insurance?- sm
I would love to find a good health insurance company that I can purchase independently. I LOVE the company I work for but unfortunately they do not offer health benefits. I greatly want to stay with them, but in need of some serious health insurance. Does anyone know of a plan that I could look into that is reasonably priced? Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated since one trip to the ER could make a huge bill....Thanks!
Anyone know of a GOOD company with affordable health insurance?
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!
Pretty good
They are really flexible on my shift. I am working a split shift until school starts in the fall. But, all in all I think I like getting my shift done in one setting. The hospital that I work has very few ESLs too. I am happy so far. I would recommend them to work for.
Pay is pretty good but.....
I worked for them for about 2 months (all I could handle). The pay was decent (I was getting 8.5) but the account I worked was completely horrible. So many ESLs that you could never make production. They were not the nicest people either. Not much help with problems and little to no flexibility in scheduling. It just was not for me. I think that there are a lot of people who like them and that is great. It just was not the right fit for me.
Seem to be pretty good.
Benefits are decent. Family coverage is under $500. Acute care pay is good. Clinic not the best, but not the worst either. VR pay hasn't been worked out yet. Great supervisor (at least mine was). Mandatory OT was my only downfall. Overall, pretty decent to work for, though I have only had 1 other employer, so not much to compare to.
I am pretty good with the PC, but now you
What a joke! You grow up! My main course of duty is the content of the frikkin report and not whether or not my PC is compatible with your crappy MT software that you swear is MT friendly! Cut me a frikkin' break!
Okay, I'm done.
Amphion pretty good, uh?
Do they let you work 6 hours a day if you can get 2200+ lines a day -- instead of 8 hours to be considered full time status? If not, do you know who does?
Company is pretty good except...
for the last several weeks there has been a problem with work shortage on several of the accounts on the new platform. When you have four accounts you work on and you have no work that kind of makes you wonder. Other than that, the people are very nice, the pay is decent, and they have good benefits. For me it is just the work load issue. They say they have not overhired, but just makes you wonder. I think you made good decision, just make sure they give you more than one backup account, as I have no idea what platform they hired you for or what accounts.
What is the pretty good grapevine?
Quit trying to stir up trouble and post your sources that are so great.
Interesting. She's actually been pretty good to me
I'd follow her somewhere new if I had the offer.
For someone not trying to be a smart A, you did a pretty good job of it anyway. sm
Showing that they care means not ignoring my requests for a third account. I have worked other places and had up to 4 accounts and when work was low, I was still able to make 2000 lines a day by bouncing back and forth between all of them.
Sending me an email ackowledging that volume is low, that the servers have down, etc., is all very nice as far as keeping me informed, but it does not pay my bills.
I wasn't asking for sympathy, but I also wasn't asking for your meanspirited retort. I merely vented here a bit, thinking (mistakenly) that I was among peers who would understand the panic that I feel.
Pretty good company
aside from their pea green web-site.
OSi, pretty good to work for (sm)
But the insurance is expensive at least for family coverage. Work flow goes up and down, it just depends on the account. They give secondary accounts if primary account runs low. Everyone there is really helpful and nice for the most part.
As Tidewater they were pretty good
After they went to Imedx, a lot of the work went offshore. If you do work for them, be prepared to be pulled off your account at any time...be it that you find out you were just filling in and they never told you that, the work is going to the new system and is no longer available, etc. Used to pay by direct deposit, but that was very frequently not there when it was supposed to be.
Overall they are pretty good but they could improve
the payroll department. Seems to be a lot of errors, you get your lost money eventually but they seem to take their sweet time about it.
Their pay rate is pretty good........
BUT they do tend to run out of work. Everyone that I know, myself included, got started at 10 cpl for typing, 5 cpl for voice recognition. The PROBLEM is you do run out of work too often and they REQUIRE you to clock out when out of work and sit at your keyboard waiting for work. It is possible that you could work 8 hours and make only 20 bucks. So.....if the work was there I guess you could make a good living, but my personal opinion is not so much considering their work flow.
I have a pretty good idea but
let the brilliant Millie from below answer that. She's your TT gal.
And if they're *pretty darned good* right now,
when you and you coworkers fix it so they're PERFECT, who's going to be editing these reports then?
Perhaps a better question is from what country will these people be editing these reports?
MDI florida, pretty good benefits,
transcription super, Debbie, very easy to work with, down-to-earth. Pay 10 cpl if you have Meditech experience for acute care/radiology. Saw in one post where they were willing to train. Worth looking into. I work for them, good company so far.
Pretty good from what I've heard...
A friend of mine works for them. Said they are strict on accuracy and line counts but are also somewhat flexible in schedule.
That's a pretty good glimpse at how they operate. SM
Very unorganized.
I have been with co for a long time. I have it pretty good, but new
xx
Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.
Seems a pretty good place to work. SM
I do sometimes run out of work. So far, I only have 2 accts, but it seems when my primary is out, so is my secondary, so I'll be trying to pick up more accts. Compared to my past work, I do not find that they have high ESL, pretty normal. I am a level 4. I think they may have 5 levels. Pay seems okay, even better than most. Good luck.
Webmedx has pretty good benefits sm
The benefits at Webmedx are pretty good. You are eligible for benefits after 90 days. I am paying about $400 per month for a family plan for health, dental, and vision. The coverage is pretty good for general visits and pharmacy, but there is either a $1000 or $2000 deductible (depending on which plan you choose) for hospitalization, after which insurance pays 80% and you pay the rest. There is also a deductible for certain medical supplies. My son is a type 1 diabetic and we have to pay a $1000 deductible for his insulin pump supplies. Not the best insurance that I've ever had, but it is much cheaper than what my husband can get through his work (he would have to pay $1000 per month in premiums for a family plan).
This sounds like a pretty good deal, especially if....sm
you are making $$. You can always contribute to an IRA that will be tax deductible at end of year. Sometimes going to a company for the benefits doesn't pay off - ask me: I tried it twice in the past month, only to quit both jobs after about 1 payroll period as it became obvious that they either didn't know how to do payroll correctly, or that the lines weren't correct (even though they claimed to pay for hdrs/footers/spaces etc!).
I would sure like to know where you work - I'm an EXText-er myself and want just PT. Care to share???? Thanks!!
Hey, wages were even still good 5 years ago, now pretty much gone. nm

WWWaah. I used to make good money til the health problems hit, now it seems hardly worth my time!

Oracle is a pretty good company to work for but,
their home-grown software makes it difficult to get a good line count.
$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
Seems 11 cpl is pretty high, good luck finding that one
Keep us updated please.
I have a pretty good list. Any comments/corrections welcome. This is just from
what I have seen over the past few years in terms of growth, size and national accounts.
I put them alphabetical rather than size as I am not 100% on a few. There are 11 instead of 10 too.
This also leaves off a few that only have U.S. Editors with all work done offshore.
If I am missing any, I apologize. These are companies that I have seen at AHIMA, in magazines, on these boards, at AAMT, etc. I am not claiming perfection so I have omitted any, I apologize in advance.

I've had a lot of bad ones...finally found one that's pretty good sm
It is a struggle though!! I have worked for several that stunk up the place!! LOL Been cheated on line counts, etc. My best advice is to see if there are any companies near you, smaller, home-based MTSOs who have fewer employees. A way where you can actually get to know your employer. I found one not far from my house who advertised on Craigslist and she has been pretty good to work with.
That's a pretty good offer. Does the line rate go up for over 175 lph? sm
Will you have VR thrown in there also?
The work flow is pretty good. It gets low around the end of the pay period. sm
I work on the DSG-2 side and the sound is pretty good. Rumor has it we will be getting a new account soon but I don't know that for sure.
