The insurance cost is double for Transcend but insurance probably doesn't factor in for her.

I have heard more good things about Axolotl than Transcend, although it seems Axolotl may be less flexible with your schedule and someone told me that QA was pretty strict, which should not matter either if you have worked for a hospital and know what your QA score is.

Transcend insurance cost ?
Can anyone working for Transcend tell me the employee's cost for insurance? For example, how much per paycheck is taken out if you want to cover just yourself (no husband or dependents) for medical, dental and,vision (I have been told they offer all 3). Thanks for your answers.
Insurance cost
It all depends on where you live. I am in Florida and pay $450 per month for myself and 2 kids. It is different for other states.
Cost of Insurance @ KS
Can you tell me how long it takes to be covered under their insurance plan and how much it is for individual coverage? I had read earlier it was very expensive but they were working on it.
TIA
If you are IC and pay for your insurance, that cost

Insurance cost
Geesh.... I thought mine was high. Are you paying for family coverage or just you and spouse? And if you don'the mind my asking who you work for. You may replay by my email if you'd rather do that. I appreciate your reply. I will definitely not be looking into Acusis or All Type! Webmedx is a good company other than I thought their insurance was awful high. Up until last summer we had insurance through my husband's company, which was very reasonable as it was a large company, but they went out of business so he is now without a job and it's up to me to carry the coverage.
Cost for Transolution's insurance sm
Can you tell me how much it costs the employee for Transolution's health insurance for employee and spouse? What insurance company do they use? Also, is it more if you just work the 32 hours? Thanks
Insurance is no cost at all to my husband
and me thru teamsters, $20.00 copay when going to the doctor, PTO. That is the good part- now the bad- if he should die before me, no insurance for me. Well, since I am 10 years older, will possibly have Medicare before him, who knows??
Does anyone know cost of Axolotl's insurance?

Can you share what is the cost of WMX's insurance .... SM
especially health insurance. I need employee/spouse coverage and I know family is always somewhat higher. You may email me, if you want. Thanks very much!
All Type pays 80% of the cost of health insurance
if you are a full-time employee; for exact amount, contact HR. You get PTO, holiday pay, quarterly bonuses as well.
Cost of DeVenture's health insurance for families, anyone??
Considering applying, but in the past, the cost was just too high. TIA
Does anyone know what Opti-Script's health insurance cost?
What is it like as far as deductible etc. I am thinking about applying but insurance benefits are very important, but more importantly is that it does not take half your check to pay for it. Thanks for any input.
Actually, I didn't, but my point is taking out double premiums for insurance sm
and I am glad that you find my distress so amusing. Perhaps you can go pick some wings off flies too while you're at it.
Focus Infomatics..anyone have information on the cost of their insurance or other benefits?
I heard they recently started offering their employees insurance...just wondering the cost and if it's good insurance. Thanks
Gosh..does this company start with an F. In any event, you need to double check with your insurance
provider to see the exact date the policy was cancelled. Sometimes, companies have to pay preminums ahead of time. I would just make sure and if they are still taking the money out, you need to send a certified letter telling them to return your money at the point you were paid up and the policy cancelled or reinstate the insurance. Why pay for something your not getting.
Can anyone tell me the insurance cost for Amphion per month or pay period? I am a single mother
with 2 children under age 10. I know you can't give me the exact amount, but anything you can tell me would be great! I have asked the recruiter but have not heard back as of yet and weighing my options. TIA!!
Medware- Ballpark figure for cost of their family medical insurance. NM

Doesn't AHDI also push E&O insurance?
Sounds to me like they are just trying to make more money off the MTs.
I agree with the other poster that it is the corporations that get sued, not the employees. Why spend a lot of money suing someone that doesn't have a dime to their name (the MT)? You don't. You go after the corporation with the large pockets.
The day the first MT gets sued over something like this is the day I get out. Why would any of us risk our financial future for a job that pays squat?
401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
Transcend insurance
Changing to Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Hope you have enough work from this company to be eligible for insurance. I can't get any work from them anymore.
Transcend insurance
You have to be employed 120 days and make at least $900 per pay to qualify.
The insurance plan in my opinion is excellent insurance. I am not sure if it will change when it'
time to renew or not. I really hope not but I know that a lot of companies change every year in an effort to keep costs down because most insurance companies start raising rates after you have been with them a year. The insurance is Great West and they also have excellent dental and vision plans. I believe the cost is less than $70 a pay period for the employee.

Transcend makes you buy the insurance to be IC?
That seems like quite a bit, do you have any idea how much those insurances together would cost? First if you are an independent worker you would not have use for worker's comp and the E&O insurance would protect the company, not the worker. The company should have their own insurance for that. Did the company also drop your line rate when you went to employee status? I have had a company tell me that before, independent 1 or 2 cents higher than employee.
Does Transcend offer health insurance?

Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?
How is Transcend/MDI's medical insurance plan for employees?
Thanks
Anyone know whether Transcend is keeping the same insurance this year or changing?
thanks 
Is there anyone else struggling to get the lines needed at Transcend for medical insurance? sm
Or is it just me??  TIA
Insurance sucks compared to my old insurance... sm
The insurance seems like they don't want to cover anything, even simple prescriptions I used to pay 4 or 10 dollars on I now pay 20 to 43 dollars. I like the company/people so far, just don't like the insurance.
Holy $&@! No wonder it is not cost effective to do VR. I make double that sm
for VR/ASR at WMX.
Where you live doesn't factor in when you work with nationals.
When you work on-line, companies will pay the same regardless of whether you live in NYC or in some small town. I live in a small town and I am nearing $40,000 as an IC for 2 national companies. My pay is not based on where I live or my cost of living, rather on my production. I am paid 8 cpl, but because I use an Expander and can transcribe 250 lph, I make a decent wage.
This is only my third year as an MT and I have been with one of my companies for a year and a half and the other one for 8 months, so it doesn't take years and years. I did have to change jobs a few times though until I found the right companies and the right accounts that I could make money on. Some of the accounts I worked in the beginning had so many ESLs and the platforms were so slow that I knew I could never make any money there.
Insurance Questions: Can you tell me what you pay for insurance through your
MTSO, which MTSO it is and whether the coverage is decent? I currently pay $92.00 a pay period for decent coverage but am trying to figure out if I am getting a good deal or if I could do better elsewhere.
TIA.
Doesn't cost the MT anything, though from my
experience you can do as good, if not better on your own. They actually contacted me (probably from my resume posted on a couple of job boards) and I tried them thinking that maybe they had companies that didn't advertise and that probably paid well considering they were using a third party company to hire/screen, but the company they referred me to was one that frequently advertises here and the pay was average.
Doesn't it cost...
an individual out-of-pocket to get a background check? I mean, if one is looking for a job, chances are he/she is broke and does not have the money to pay for such paperwork, not to mention the fact of how much it costs in gas to run all over the place.
The reason I know this is because my son just got a job at a local restaurant as a chef. In South Carolina some jobs require a background check, but the potential employee has to pay for this as well as run all over creation requesting records from the Highway Department as well as City and County law enforcement offices. It's time consuming and costly.
I wouldn't mind the background check if it came out of the potential employer's pocket (which they can write off anyway) and if they did all the leg work. I wonder if this sort of thing can be done online?
It doesn't cost anything so I would try.
All they can do is turn you down, but then again they might hire you.
Doesn't cost anything to report 'em to

You may be better off going directly to the source, so to speak. I do not have the insurance, but I have seen the rates, and they are reasonable, even affordable! I believe it's through either Blue Cross or UHC, or it may be both, you get to choose. Anyways, I do get the eye insurance for my family, which is at no cost to me. As I said before, your best source is to ask MQ itself. Good luck, and don't count MQ out just because of all of the negative posts on this board! I'm very happy w/them, and have been for over four years now! 
MQ insurance
I don't know if it's still the same, but when I worked for MQ, I cancelled my insurance and went to IC status when the family coverage went up to $900/month. I asked them how could that be with the largest transcription company in the world, and they claimed it was based on the area I lived in.
Insurance
They don't let you go, they make you a statutory employee. If they let you go, then they would put themselves in a situation to where they may have to pay unemployment. If they move you to statutory and take all your benefits, then they don't have to pay your insurance or PTO days. Working off the clock is just free labor for them. So basically, it is going to benefit them either way.
insurance
I carry myself and my husband and it costs me between $30 and $40 monthly. This is for an HMO. I think they told me the PPO was between $80 and 120 monthly, but the HMO had more providers in my area so I went with it. There were several choices between HMO and PPO. Like I said before, this will vary depending on which hospital. I work for a hospital in PA. I'm not sure about details for the Florida hospitals.
For the insurance directly through Diskriter (if you work for them directly), I think they quoted me around $300 a month for two people.
PT Insurance
There is a company in WI who offers insurance at 30 or 32 hours a week. For the life of me I can't remember the name but out of Waukesha, WI. Hopefully someone can jump in and give you the name.
PT Insurance
I keep wondering why more companies don't offer an option like the hospitals where you pay a little more as PT, but can at least obtain insurance as part of their group. Or for that matter, why AAMT cannot offer a group option for insurance for all the ICs, etc.
insurance
You get to choose full time with benefits, full time with limited benefits, or part time.
Now, tell me about the insurance. I may sm
still look into this.Thanks!

Check with IRBA on the internet. It is a group for small business owners and then you get a group rate. You join IRBA and then there are different insurance companies.

I checked into the self employed insurance (Mega Life) and the deductibles are high -- which I could tolerate -- but if you go into the hospital the deductible must be met for each occurence. So if you have two surgeries -- I broke my leg and had surgery for placement of a rod and plate, etc. Ten months later it comes out -- deductible for each has to be met. I have worked insurance also and their plan is hard to understand what each covers. You pay for your basic and add on -- chemotherapy, outpatient labs, etc. I went with a high deductible but where I put money in a tax free account to pay the deductible should I need it. I am self employed so it works for me. Most of the docs I type for give me free office visits and labs done in their office as well as prescrition samples. But then have only been to the doctor three times in the past 3 years. But do a search for medical insurance and you will get a lot of info. But with the difference of over $200 for a $2000 deductible, I saved that in a year and like I said it is pre tax account.

Poster below gave you good info - WMX probably has best, most affordable ins. of all MTSOs.
I know several IC's, over 50, with no insurance. SM
They rave to me about all the money they make, however, they cannot afford to see a doctor and rarely do, one goes to hospital when they run those studies.
Yeah, they make more than I do, but you cannot enjoy the money if your are dead.
Sorry, like I said, this rant is directed at older (over 40) IC's.
Insurance sm
I am over 50 and have insurance through AARP - 118.50 per month. I also have an arrangement with my personal physician to pay cash at a much lower price than he would normally charge for someone with insurance. Also, because I am IC, I have multiple tax deductions that lowers my income so that I can qualify for cheap drugs, free mammograms, etc. I also have additional accident coverage in case I am in an accident or fall or something that would be more than my AARP insurance coverage. This has worked well for me for about 13 years. Most disease can be prevented and if you take care of yourself, you are unlikely to have an emergency.
