These decisions royally stink, don't they?!. It would be so nice if we could take the whole health care scam out of the equation! Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

Health care reform and MTs
Have y'all thought about the implications of health care reform bill passing? More people will be covered, even for catastrophic illnesses such as cancer, etc.
More patients=more health care professionals needed=more dictation=more work for MTs.
Then perhaps MT wages can be commensurate with our skills and fulfilling a need. 
Webmedx: Which health care plans?
Hi. Can someone tell me which health care providers are offered to employees? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone worked for Meridian Health Care Solutions doing radiology?? If so just wanted some info on the company good or bad. Thanks so much:)
univ health care is a scam. its not working

Info on Meridian Health Care Solutions
Does anyone have any information or ever worked for Meridian Health Care Solutions as an MT? Any info will be available. Thanks

Exactly. The majority of the population can't afford health care.
Huh. Sound familiar?

this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

There is no universal platform. sm
There is more than one platform as they work in the platform of the hospital or clinic. Call and ask for another account. I did and have been happy for 2 years.
Universal sick day
Been reading the posts about having an MT strike. I agree with the comments about companies getting worse instead of better as far as paying IC and other transcriptionists. We should just have a universal sick day (just one day) and see what chaos this causes. May be it does not even have to be the whole day, just a couple of hours.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I have noticed rather universal email problems lately. sm
I was told there has been a virus loose, and a lot of email, especially with attachments, was not getting through. I would probably give her a call, tell her I've had a problem with email (I have), and wanted to be sure I hadn't missed anything. Just a thought.
Intranet is only thing universal, otherwise ask your lead
We all have to enter our lines on the intranet each day (unless it's down!), but other than that it's account-specific. Better touch base with your lead.
Does anyone work for Universal Transcription out of Duluth, MN? Could you tell me a bit about it?nm

Told ya.. the word NO is not a universal language. They do not hear what you say at all ..yet..
They are the ones QA-ing your work and docking your check accordingly. What a crock.. That and I would like 12 hours and be lucky to make $50. It's a ripoff. Their line count never adds up but you can bet they get paid a lot more than they give their MTs.
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if
x
Of course they care. They care you make just a tad bit
this way they don't have to shell out the sign ons, the full-time benefits. Oh, they keep watch on how you are doing and their budget. THey will use you til you drop and try to tell you that it is your lack of skills or speed keeping you from the full time pay which a person can't even pay bills with to begin with. Imagine that.. Use your skills, work hard, try your best, do well on QA, but make short of full time so no benefits, no extras, and no paying bills. This adds up to you broke, them rich, and a no-win situation... for the MT that is...
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?
Health Insurance
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.
health insurance
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.
Health Information Partners
Great people there, good pay, and always have work. What more could you want!
regarding spheris health insurance
Hi,
I got a job offer from spheris, i need some info regarding their health insurance benefits, how they are. Do they cut from our paycheck for health insurance i was offered 202 for family for two weeks excluding dental and vision. I would appreciate if anybody post message on it.
Nancy.
regarding spheris health insurance
hi,
thanks for the reply, but my questions is yesterday i got interviwed. The recruiter told me that the family insurance will be 202 for every two weeks and the money goes from our pay check only it looks more cost for insurance and excluding dental and vision is that everyone is getting the same insurance offer from Spheris for family or it depends on plan.
Does DSG have affordable health benefits? SM
Any idea on the cost of this? Thanks, :-)
What do you pay for health insurance? Survey. sm
What do you pay at the company you are with for health insurance? Is it employee, employee w/spouse, employee w/children or family? What is the deductible? HMO or PPO? Big company or small? What percentage does the company pay?
We are trying to come up with what is fair for everyone without putting us out of business due to cost. We need more MTs for new contracts but cannot grow until our benefits are better. Catch 22.
I really would appreciate feedback. What other benefits do you get? Do you want?
HIP (Health Info Partners)
You can use the CTRL I feature, and it matches the ichart line count.
Health Information Partners
Does anyone have any feedback on Health Information Partners (HIP)--good or bad?
TIA!
Medware health insurance
Does anyone know how much the health insurance at Medware costs the employee for eimployee and spouse? Thanks
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.
