They would have to pay a premium for STATs.

just have 24-48 hour turnaround. Whatever platform the hospital has, all they have to do is make sure their IC's have copies. The dictation would get to the IC electronically, just as it does with MTSOs.
But the gray areas aren't really what I was talking about. What I was wondering was, how many hospitals or clinics would want their work 100% Indian-transcribed? Especially if a bill were passed so that patients had the option to say whether their work was offshored or not. I know I, as a patient, would rather my op report or H&P were being typed by an English-speaking, accountable, AMERICAN independent contractor, than in some lawless foreign country 6,000 miles away.

Where do you get your stats from?
If you type 5 lines an hour, where does that come from? You cannot be slow at VR, if you are you do not make money. I type straight clocked at 135 lines per hour. What makes you think that only slow people want to use? I am fast, I make money with it. Sorry you are possibly caught up in something you do not want to be involved with but you are totally wrong about it only applying to slow people.
The former, based on TAT. You'll always get stats from any 1st.

Obviously you dont do STATS.. that is when your IM'd until you cant stand it anymore.. Go ahead t
doing stats and let the games begin...and the word NO is not an option..
The premium is sm
275.00 for family per pay period. You won't be paying 1000.00 for family coverage. The yearly deductible is 1000.00, and these are both stated very clearly in the paperwork. Go back and re-read all the paperwork. Right now, you pay 213.83 per payperiod for family coverage.
It could be to keep the premium in the SM
same ballpark as it was. I know TransHealth just changed from Blue Cross to another company because they couldn't keep the coverage without the premiums going way up (and they are in Tennessee also).
They pay 25% of the premium. nm

There is a difficulty premium
rate for jobs that are rated more difficult than others. You get paid more but the difficulty decision is made higher up, you will know before you start that job whether they are higher pay or not. It doesn't sound like we have imput in this process but not sure.
It's $1000, and you would't believe what the premium is. nm

Premium Business Services
Anyone working for Premium Business Services?
A lot of the time the insurance premium comes out
I am not the person above who is paying those premiums, but there are also flexible spending accounts that sometimes help with healthcare. With MT, you can supplement very easily by taking overflow or having a small account on the side. Some people tend to take extra jobs. In all my years, I can honestly say that I have never worked only one MT job. I have always held a full-time job with side accounts. I fortunately can now work full-time from home as an independent contractor, but I prefer piece work and making my own hours for the sake of my children at least for now. I plan to maybe go back to in-house but not strictly transcription once my children are older. Who knows what the future holds? I think if you are a single Mom and have the willpower you can make a go of MT as long as you budget and know what is needed to survive and not just what is wanted to survive if you know what I mean. I would never trade being at home when my kids come through the door for school for all of the money in the world. I love it and so do they.
I think you're confusing the deductible with the premium. sm
Family coverage is not $1000 a month in premiums.
Yikes, does the company contribute toward your premium? sm
Wow, seems very high. I've heard of $300 - $400 for a family plan monthly but never double. I know that a lot of places feel that you as the MT are saving travel, clothing, lunch money and getting a lot of perks working from home, but so are they by you doing it! I do know plenty of people do work just for benefits though. If you're working for needed income just as much as benefits though....I'd check around. Wow again! Company I just got an offer from (didn't take it, they're bad) offered full family bennies for just over $300/month and it was a decent plan - good co-pay, deductible, etc. But it is one of the bigger MTSOs. If it is a smaller one, they may not be contributing, just offering it to you. It is possible to find one that contributes monthly toward your premium.

they don't pay their share of the premium in any pay period you drop below full-time line count..
