For family coverage, about how much is the monthly premium? Do they pay well? Do you have to work a set schedule or can you get your lines in within a 24-hour window? Thanks!

Do companies really contribute to insurance?
I am not sure if it is where I live or what, but I just discussed employee status with my company, and they wanted over $450 a month for health insurance for a very high deductible plan (5000 family) with a copay (20%). I specifically asked if the company paid part of that, and she said yes, 50%.
I went online to e-insurance and priced out a comparable policy, and it was around $200 a month for a family high-deductable policy with an HSA option. How can it be that a group policy costs over 3 times what an individual policy costs? Or do the companies fudge a little bit when they say 50%? I find it really hard to believe that my company will not give me any kind of raise but will automatically pay $5400 a year towards my insurance without batting an eye. (BTW, the other option was $850 a month which would put them paying over $10000 a year for insurance).
What am I missing here? 
affordable insurance
I work in a hospital which is merging and our department will be outsourced. I am looking for a job with afforable insurance. I would have a new job today if not for the cost of family insurance, over $400 every two weeks. I've only worked in hospitals were insurance is usually around $100 per pay period for the family so $400 came as a huge shock to me. My husband as some pre-existing conditions so getting a personal policy is out of the question. Anybody know of a company with afforable family insurance?
Yes, Webmedx does have very affordable insurance. sm
I pay 145 a pay period for myself and husband for the gold type insurance (which is the best we can get).
How much is the insurance, is it good, affordable?
I really need insurance and don't want to apply if it is not affordable.
Is Medware's health insurance affordable?
I am looking for either family coverage or just husband and wife coverage. Any idea of how much their insurance costs? I remember a while back they had their rates listed on their website and they seemed very reasonable.
Can anyone give me an estimate on how much they pay for their health insurance for family. This would be for the PPO insurance, as I do not reside in Florida.
Thanks guys!!!
Looking for a company with affordable health insurance.
Anybody work for Proscript or DSG, can you tell me how much you pay for husband and wife coverage? Thanks so much.

Anyone know of a GOOD company with affordable health insurance?
Hi. I am a 14+ year MT. I love the company I am with but they offer NO benefits whatsoever. Does anyone know of a company that is looking for a dependable MT that offers reasonably priced health insurance and would give at least 9-1/2 cents a line (which is what I am getting now). Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Define affordable? What may be affordable to one person may not be to another. nm

TransTech insurance
I believe it's still Humana.
TransTech insurance
Hi. Anybody who's ever worked for TransTech--how would you compare the health insurance they offer, versus that offered by other companies, e.g., say, OSi? Thanks muchly.
I don't think you can still contribute
to a 401K at a previous job. You need to roll it over into an IRA is my understanding.
I'd recommend going to this website, http://www.daveramsey.com/ and on the right side under TRUSTED SERVICES click on the EPL INVESTMENT place to find a reputable investment broker in your locale.
Health insurance at TransTech? sm
Anyone willing to tell me what they pay for their health insurance plan through TransTech? I just had a great offer from Keystrokes that I guess I am going to have to turn down because their health insurance plan costs more than I can get one for on my own! bummer disappointment! So I am going to pursue Transtech but don't want to end up in the same boat again....TIA.
Diskriter or TransTech for insurance...sm
I'm curious about the insurance rates for a family of 4 for these 2 companies and if you can you make a decent wage to help pay for these insurance premiums? I worked at one place that had pretty good insurance but had a tough time making enough money to pay for it (and still pay my bills, etc). Any info would be great -- thanks!
TransTech and Keystrokes insurance
Can anyone tell me who carries the major medical with these companies? Thinking of applying with both companies but want to know who they have their major medical with before I apply. TIA
Can someone please tell me how expensive Transtech insurance is.....sm
for self only? low deductibles.
TransTech health insurance
Does anyone have info on family plan health insurance at TT. I have heard they have a few to choose from. I don't want to spend my time going through the whole testing process if all the options are outrageously expensive. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Is Transtech's insurance reasonable?
TransTech has NINE health insurance plans

Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm

Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?
TransTech health insurance rates for 2008
I thought I had found the perfect job in Transtech. My bubble just popped. Anybody else out there in cardiac arrest right now over the just published rates for open enrollment. As I need a family plan, unless they can come up with something quickly (she said they are searching for some better options), I will have absolutely no paycheck to speak of.
I hate to consider leaving, but it is a strong consideration!
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.
How could we start a running list, to each contribute to and could
Any ideas? Javabean, what do you think?
OMG! That is an awful benefit plan! Are you kidding me? You contribute nothing to the
cost of health insurance? One day of bereavement leave? You seem to be proud of this package. I would be hanging my head in shame were I you!
With Transtech insurance, do you have to meet deductible before office visits are covered? nm
nm
Very affordable!
I have found that Webmedx's insurance is very affordable, more so than a lot of the other MTSOs out there.
okay but is it affordable? for 2?nm
nm
Affordable benefits
Are the benefits affordable?
Benefits are very affordable...sm
Benefits are under 200 biweekly for me, and that includes family gold plan, dental plan, vision plan, and life insurance for my husband and kids. As well, they provide long and short-term disability, 401K, an some other stuff I don't remember.
Depends on what you consider affordable.
It is expensive, but far less than what you would pay if you went it on your own. Employer picks up at least half the tab, possibly more. I know I would pay around $1200-1500 for my family on my own and right now for a family of 6 I pay a little over $550, but that's pretax so actually it reduces down to the equivalent cost to me of about $460 net. For 6 people, I can't complain.
Also, the insurance is pretty good in my opinion. The dental insurance is awesome and under $30 a pay period for entire family (no pre-pay or deductibles) and everyone in my area takes both the dental and the medical.
Not sure on what you mean by 1 or 10 kids. Aren't most insurances this way? They cover yourself or yourself and spouse or yourself, spouse and children. Haven't seen one where each additional child causes the premium to rise.
You have to type 150 lines an hour to qualify, which is pretty easy if you know anything about MT'ing. Have never ever gotten close to that low amount except when first training, even with multiple unknown accounts once in a while. Haven't heard of the 10,000 lines per pay period before.
Does DSG have affordable health benefits? SM
Any idea on the cost of this? Thanks, :-)
What is Medware's pay range and is the ins. affordable? nm
You will not find any affordable family
about the same and very expensive. Just the insurance market I guess, my husband's company has it available and with both of our incomes it is a large portion of our monthly expenses. Just my 2c, but I have asked every company I have ever interviewed with and today, family insurance rates are just unaffordabe everywhere.
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
Nope, not affordable. At least not when I left. nm
nm
Still not affordable but better than my husband's so we have no choice. sm
His company is $1410 for a family of 4 and none of us have any illnesses or surgeries. Highway robbery.
We pay $710 a month at Keystrokes. Still high but half.
Does the company you work for have affordable (sm
health insurance? Can you share the name of the company on here or via e-mail? TIA.
affordable health coverage
Could anyone one give the names of companies they work for with good health and dental coverage (individual plans) at an afforadable cost? Any info given is appreciated. I consider affordable as not too much more than $100 per month---80/20 plans okay, but prefer 100% coverage plans if they are out there with reasonable deductibles. I know this is a tall order! It can also be a noncompany plan, if anyone knows of a great insurance company plan outside of the job. I am 45 and in good health, just borderline hypertensive (if there is such a thing---although it does make my rate go up).
Thanks!
companies with affordable benefits
Does anyone know any companies that are hiring that have affordable insurance for family? I need to get a position with insurance. Thank you for any replies.
Very affordable for individual, high for families, sm
but I think all insurance is high for families. 6 holidays, a few days PTO until you've been there over 6 years. (and they keep changing the PTO yearly).
I believe they have several to choose from - affordable and decent coverage, IMO
nm
I have single coverage - affordable - but don't know about family. Call them.
nm
401k funds are protected by govt insurance similar to the insurance
that banks have (FDIC). It is safe even if the company goes under.
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.
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.
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.
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.
