Do you think 8.5 cpl is good pay for these type reports. I am accustomed to acute care work but was offered a job doing occupational health or workmen's comp reports, which are 2 to 3 line reports. Do you think this is productive work or would it take all day to get 1200 lines.

Workers' Comp, IC @ MQ
Have any IC's ever filed a WC claim against MQ? If so, what was the course and/or outcome?
workman's comp
Carpal tunnel is a worker's comp case as it is caused by the job. You have to claim it as such and open a comp case. Disability covers any other medical reason for missing work other than job related.
large comp
I agree.
SPi New Comp Plan
Hey, just posted a reply but haven't seen it post, so if this is a duplicate, I apologize! I've been with SPi since December and was hired under the comp plan that you guys are discussing and it's actually a very good plan. While I am not paid for spaces, most companies don't pay for spaces anyway, but the good thing is that I was given a higher line rate to compensate for that. I interviewed with other companies before I decided to work for SPi and the reason I chose SPi was not only the great line rate but that the benefits start after 30 days, and who can beat free vision and dental! I was going to have to pay for that myself everywhere else and couldn't even get it until I had worked a minimum of 3 months at other places. The other cool thing was that I got paid for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I am not going anywhere....
spi comp plan
Let's face it, they made this compensation plan to help their bottom line, not the MTs...and anyone who is breaking even, you are the lucky ones!!
I want to know if anyone is making more than last year with this company!!! Other than account managers and other management, that is..did they take a hit in their paychecks?????
RE: SPI COMP PLAN
I seem to be making quite a bit less with this new plan. It is taking a lot more hours to get the line count compared to what we use to have to do.
wrk-mans comp and disability ins q's.
can a MT employee get workmans comp for developing carpal tunnel synd?
If one carries disability insurance, is that for any disability, ie, (not related to job) from a car accident, recreational time injury, etc.? thanks.
Company with VA comp and pens?
I saw an ad some time ago from a company looking for MTs to work on VA comp and pens. I've been working a VA account the past few years and love the comp and pens but the amount of those seems to be dwindling on the account for some reason, probably going over to voice or more people working on them. Just wondered if anyone remembered which company that was. Thanks!

Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
Employees now, now workers comp needed...nm

I think I work for the comp. with an M that you mention but they are the ones I made more with than
I had previously at another job..huh?? I do notice a discrepancy in accounts. On one account, I get a great line but when I tried another one of their accounts I was not making the same..not even close. I questioned it and was told that the way it is counted is per the hospital/client's contract and they set the rules. So, I just assumed that that facility got a contract that paid for less things than my main account. You can email me privately if you'd like to compare accounts. Trust me, I wont share with anyone. I have had more than my share of issues with this company and am seeking to move on. Good line count or not, sometimes it is just not worth it.
There are not very many negatives, it is just that those of us with positive experiences at ANY comp

That should read "no workers comp needed" sorry

WEBMEDX - NO RETURN ON COMP DEPOSIT - 3 MONTHS
It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet. I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago. I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc. NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition. (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5).
Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work. I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me). This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service. HORRIBLE!!
Anyone else have problems taking USA Type test? Cant get my comp to play the sound file.
Any suggestions? I really want to take the test but their sound file keeps loading onto my music program, and when I try to load it on Windows Medial Player it tells me I need codecs, so how would I find that to load?
Post from 2005 said you needed a Cphone and you HAD to buy Workman's Comp insurance to work

You are right about the health
insurance, it is not very good.
get health ins
You can join your local chamber of commerce and get a group rate or check what your state has for the uninsured.
Entente Health?
Has anyone heard of Entente Health?
Does anyone have any information on HIP (Health
Information Partners)? Consistent work? Good platform? Anything else? Thanks in advance!!
Do you know how much your health insurance is? sm
I applied today and took the online test. I am confident I did well. I am sure, though, there are a lot of others doing the same. I was just wondering how much health insurance cost monthly. Do you get paid by the line or by the hour? Are they pretty fair?

I'm also looking to Webmedx. I was wondering if you, or someone else out there, might have an idea what the cost of health insurance for family would be. Thank you!
TT health insurance
Are any of you taking out the insurance. I just started in October with the big hire, and should be eligible February 1, 2007, right? Anybody know.
I have also been curious about the PTO time accrued.
Does anyone know the new Health Ins rates?
Trying to decide
Health Information First, LLC
Hi, does anyone have any experience with this company out of Maryland? I just tested with them.
Is the health insurance
a good policy. Is the premium super high.
HEALTH BENEFITS
ABOUT 340 PER MONTH, BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD. THEY ARE STABLE BENEFITS FOR SURE.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what companies give a pretty good rate for health insurance? Thanks!
IC, what do you do about health insurance. sm
It is way expensive on the outside if you know what I mean.
MDI-MD have health insurance for MTs?
I'm in their site and I can't find mention of benefits anywhere?
I'm a new hire for the Occ Health...
account too. I am looking forward to getting started with them, as I have heard so many good things. In the meantime, I'm enjoying this weekend, preparing my desk, computer, etc. getting ready to get set up, and taking some time for myself to relax and enjoy some downtime (hoping that we'll have PLENTY of work soon enough).
I would like to know about the health benefits (cost) for a single parent and one child. I wonder how much health bennies will be just to get an idea as to what to plan for.
I hope to meet up with the new hires on the Occ Health account so we can help each other out if stuck, etc.
I am so excited!!! Hope to meet you all real soon!
health insurance
Amen to everything that has been posted on this ongoing subject. I too have heard promises of new insurance over and over for the past couple years.
What's worse is that employees had to answer personal questions in a phone interview for insurance that never materialized.
And why was that AFLAC phone conference manditory? After reading through the materials they sent in the mail, I already knew I didn't want to waste my money on supplemental insurance.
Finally, if KS can't find better/cheaper health insurance, why can't they at least start paying for a portion of the premiums on the current insurance plan??
These are all questions that will probably go unanswered.
health insurance
I have had a gap, I was covered through end of November. I have been on meds, but there are some plans that define PEC as receiving treatment i.e. seeing a doctor, and just being on meds continuously doesn't count (Premera plans typically work this way). I have an offer from a company with a Premera plan that has a 3 month PEC so I am fine on that one. But with that company I can't afford to cover my spouse ($400/month paycheck deduction for him, $66 paycheck deduction for me).
health insurance
I am aware of this, that is why I am trying to look into all possibilities for now and also a couple years down the road. May have to keep a day job for a couple years while doing IC part time or something.
But I do know of a couple companies so far that will take a well-educated newbie that offer benes, and I am also starting to figure out what my goal companies are for later, from people's feedback.
Everyone's feebback is invaluable on this subject, for me and other newbies who have this question.
NEED HEALTH INSURANCE!
Isn't life a joy! Thought I was going through menopause and it turns out I'm pregnant! I've been with my current employer for 6 years, they have the worst insurance I've ever seen in my life. Does anyone know of any companies that are currently hiring with half way decent health insurance, maybe a deductible that won't bankrupt me!??
health insurance?
Does anyone know of a company with good health insurance benefits that won't cost an arm and a leg to pay for?
How soon can one get health benefits with them?
I am looking for a company that has dental coverage without the $1000 annual limit in payouts.
IC Health Insurance
I will be starting 2 new IC positions soon and am looking into healthcare options, as hubby and I absolutely need this. If you are willing to share the info pumpernickel, I would like to hear more about how/where you obtained healthcare,costs, etc. Please feel free to email me 
MDI - Health INsurance
yes but will they ever offer health benefits and PTO?
Health plan
Guess they will wake up when it happens to one of their parents, grandparents, or themselves. Won't they be surprised.
Her words were to see how their health is
was. I never saw the statement about age in her statement at all.
As far as that goes, again sickness, ill health and death are not only played out in older people. I see absolutely nothing wrong with a company, especially as she was stating, in a high income category wanting to know about a person's health if it is their policy and you want to be hired. there. I find nothing in her statement that even hints at any kind of discrimination.

I am looking for family coverage.

Great people there, good pay, and always have work. What more could you want!
