Psychiatric help is also expensive, but I think you should check into it anyway. nm

Is that anything like psychiatric help?
You must be OSi QA...lol!

Karen, I have sent you my resume.
psychiatric help
the only post calling anyone a dumb time bomb would be the one showing hostility and errr that was you - seems she just suggested another site and let Transcriptionist do their thing on their own time. talk about raw emotion, wonder what she would have said if she were calm. she must not make any money at all with that kind of attitude. I am with her - get a new forum for MTSO and let us be. or at the very least stop calling us dumb time bombs - maybe that is why the companies outsource - you guys push them there, not us.
Yes RE Psychiatric
I've worked for 1 year and 9 months for SPi-BPO (formerly CyMed) and love it.
In all that time, I can count on one hand the time I've run out of work--esp. since they give me SO many backup accounts as opposed to so many companies who won't even give you one.
It's doing Disability Determination notes, so there's about 20% orthopedic (back pain, etc.) plus a tiny bit of ophthalmology (people going blind), but the rest is ALL psychiatry.
Fascinating stuff.
Mention my name (Clifton Toth) when you interview, and if you work there for 90 days, I'll share my referral bonus with you.
Seriously, I've worked for at least 8 or 10 companies over the past 20+ years, and this has been my favorite by far (we won't talk about my least favorite--or three).
I'm disabled myself and they have no problem with only 15 or so hours per week, so long as I make my part-time quota of 2000 lines per week, the lowest quota I've ever encountered, though if you want full-time (for which the quota is double at 4000 lines/week, still very reasonable), I'm fairly sure they can accommodate that too.
My favorite part is the fact that they let you use previous reports from dictators as a template--and most are very well-spoken (I guess because it's government work and HAS to be accurate), with VERY few ESLs.
Just go to spi-bpo.com and click on Careers in the left margin, then, of course, Healthcare at the bottom; the application is completely online.
Good luck and let me know how it goes (CTToth@Yahoo.com).

Psychiatric work
Does anyone know of any good companies that have psychiatric work available? Those jobs seem few and far between on any of the job postings. Thanks!
Then you need serious psychiatric help. Either that, or you came from a service worse than MQ
worse than them.
Psychology/Psychiatric work.
Does anyone know of any companies with psychology/psychiatric work? I used to work on this speciality when I worked in house and really miss that type of work.
Thanks!
ExecuScribe wants employees to take a psychiatric test. How creepy. I refused! sm
These companies want to know your psych. I think that is privacy invasion, and I don't need a job that bad! That was the last test they had me take. I would have never bothered with them if I knew that in the beginning. What a waste of time!
VERY expensive
I think it was almost $300/mo for single and much more for kids/family. No dental.
Have you looked to see if your state offers some kind of subsidized health plan for kids? There's one in my state and the income guidelines are quite generous and it was very easy to sign up for - downloaded the forms off the internet and sent them in. I would suggest you do a little research in that direction.
MQ has good benefits, but good luck to a newbie getting the 150 lph on those teaching hospital accounts that you'll need to maintain your benefits.
That is really expensive
for insurance. I could never afford that.
You have to buy a lot of very expensive
equipment - a $300 router, a special modem, and their special telephony equipment. They only do overflow work, accounts not too bad, but there are problems there.
Self-pay for me is less expensive
I work for Keystrokes but unfortuantely their group insurance is more for me than what I pay on my own. I am told it is because of the overall health status of the group involved. If you are healthy, have no preexisting medical conditions,take no medications, and do not smoke you will find that a private plan is more reasonable than a group plan where the majority enrolled are over weight, have chronic illnesses and take prescription medications. Another good reason to stay in shape girls. :)
Very expensive
COBRA is normally offered when your personal or job insurance is no longer active (ex: you quit your job, you were let go). The rates are generally high, there is a cost for others added on to your insurance, and I believe it is only good for 18 months. You may want to check with other medical insurance companies and compare pricing. If there are any pre-exisiting conditions, you will want to find out about the waiting period for that (normally 6 months) as long as you have been covered within the last 6 months. Hope this helps.
insurance 2 expensive?
Recently I was contacted by an agent of the company I work for and was told that basically they didn't know how much longer they could cover me on their insurance plan that I have been on for years. I am having a bit of a problem changing insurance companies right now because of a chronic illness. I gather that their portion is too expensive although I have no confirmation of that. Can they actually drop me off of their insurance for this reason? I suppose they could always terminate me or push me out, giving no reason, their right, but I already know why. Is this illegal or does it just fall under being a poorly run company?
I think their insurance is very very very expensive. nm

TransTech is not less expensive than that...sm
my plan costs what you are paying now with the surcharge, but they have added a high deductible plan that is about 60% of the cost of a regular health plan.
I am getting a little desparate paying these premiums, too. I hope you find something better.
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.
I guess India got too expensive.
Glad I quit.
Can someone please tell me how expensive Transtech insurance is.....sm
for self only? low deductibles.
I thought they were looking for less expensive plans
xx
Yes!! I don't like the new insurance, more expensive and higher co-pay. nm

You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

You sound like the "gambling is expensive" nutcase. nm
She's right above -- just go away.
Last time I talked with them, nothing had changed, insurance still way too expensive. nm

I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.
To Keystrokes employees: Has anyone heard anything about when a new, less expensive insurance (sm)
is starting? I was told by a valid source it was to be February 1 but it apparently didn't happen then. Has anyone else heard a different date? TIA.
bad insurance, expensive & lousy line count
When Transform (in Wyo) started they used MDintouch which was great but with Vscript I spent more time waiting for new reports to open (because it would have to open Word EVERY SINGLE TIME instead of Word just staying open, and for them to finish sending. long reports were OK & you could make SOME lines/$$ but after 6 years I made less & less AND LESS until I quit because I would OWE on payday - yes, I was paying over $900 for really lousy insurance for hubby & I. I'm no slouch - being doing it for about 25 yr when I quit & typed about 110 wpm. So take no time to pound out a report but tooooo much time wasted waiting on things to grind up & download. HAS to be better offers...
Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm

For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month. If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm
The new exam is less expensive than the old exam was.
It used to be taken in two parts and believe me it was $150 per part. If you did not pass the first part, you could not take the second part so you had to take the first part and repeat the entire cost until you passed. To those folks who might not have passed the first part for several tries, it was expensive. I still consider $300 (the old price) high. Now, today's **I think** is only $150. The price is at the AAMT website but that is only half of what it used to cost and so much easier as far as location and not needing a proctor etc
Thank you. I will check into it.

Might Want to Check Them Out...
Actually, they are a recruiting firm that ARE recruiting for a large US based company...
Thank you! Will check them out too!

MQ check
Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???
I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?
Check out
other trx message boards in which they repeat the same negative comments about Transhealth and go into more detail about the situations they encountered.
Thanks, I might check them out. nm

You can check into
Verizon wireless. They have a PC card that you can use in your laptop. It will give your computer a signal and it will work like a cell phone. As long as you are in the Verison service area you can use the internet. I have a family member who is always on the go and loves it!
You bet they can - check this out.

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.

email for a private message that I left you.
FTP - buy it check out
Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.
Did you check... (sm)
The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
