In Reply to: Been with SS for almost 3 years. sm - Crystal
so don't need family rate. Is is good? HMO? PPO? What company?
This is very important for me to know. I don't care about schedules, since I worked for woman in charge there before. I just need insurance. Thanks.

Survey - What type of medical insurance does your company offer?
Just curious about which company you work for and what type of medical insurance they offer. HMO, PPO? Cheap or expensive for you?
Do they offer health insurance?

Can anyone offer any information on Amphion's insurance?
The company I currently work for has made insurance cuts and I'm forced to go on the hunt again. Thank you!
I'd be happy if these nationals would offer insurance
and other bennies NOT contingent on line counts, or lower the bar a little, at least. I'd get a job there and stay forever if that were the case.
Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm

Do any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? sm
Does anyone happen to know if any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? I have been in this business for nearly a decade and have been doing QA for the last 4, but I would take a job right now with just about anyone as long as they offered insurance that covered IVF. It is so expensive out of pocket, and I really need the coverage. I have even been considering taking a job out of the transcription industry to get this coverage. So, I guess if anyone knows anywhere at all I can get this coverage.. please help!!! I am unfortunately in a state where this coverage is not mandated... so it is very hard to come by... :(
I am not sure if this was the right board... but I thought it was worth a shot... :P
Does Transcend offer health insurance?

Trasolutions, anyone know the kind of health insurance they offer? i.e. BC/BS
Any companies offer health insurance for part time?
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.

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
Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....
I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet. Any infor or recommendations appreciated ...
Thanks!
F/U on All Type Professional Liability Insurance
Just sharing this as I have never run into this request from MTSO
This is an email from Professional Liability Insurance provided through Healthcare Providers Service Organization. I goggled Professional Liability Insurance.
All Type wanted me to provide this (costly I am sure, insurance)
My reply back to email.
Thank you for the info -- (their text to me) As a Medical Transcriptionist, if you were to add or omit something to what the dictator relays to you, and a claim or incident occurs because of error or omission, you can be named in a lawsuit.
My reply to them:
No way I would be party to this
unless I had permanently stored audio (dictated) and MY original transcribed text. Only way I could prove anything. Once the report leaves me, it can be changed at will by what is called QA Quality Assurance staff or the dictator. Whoa!!! You think the doctor or QA will admit a change. Don't think so. The medical transcriber will be the fall guy.
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.
I did that insurance stuff too. Hated it. Happy to type only 1 voice now
xx
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.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
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.
Well at least you got an offer. How many
years of experience do you have?
offer
21 years, and most of that in radiology in-house. With a national for 5 years. How the time flies!
They offer more than just PTO (sm)
First of all, I have worked on VA as a primary before, and one should easily be able to get 1200 lines in an 8-hour period. I've gotten 1500-1700 a day working VA if I work steadily for 8 hours. We do get paid time off and that amount has just been increased (10 days per year the first year). We get holiday pay (6 days) as well as celebratory day (4 days) pay, an extra amount per line for every line that we do on those days. There are also incentives offered all the time. I just started a 401K and OSi matches 100% of my contribution (up to 4% a pay period, fully vested), which is very generous. We also get a raise every year on our anniversary date. Sure...maybe that amount could be a little more...but some places you can go for years and get nada.
The months of October and November, we're getting a bonus just for meeting our minimal lines for the month, and if we exceed those, the bonus is even higher.
It seems there are people out there, specifically on the QA of things, who aren't happy with how things went for them. I don't know anything about that, but I do know that I am very happy with OSi and you get more than a little paid time off for you 12,000 lines a pay period.
I am considering a job offer from FN (sm)
I was wondering if they take social security taxes out? Also, approximately what percentage of your income do you put aside for taxes? I want to make sure I do everything right!
Why??? I'm considering an offer from them. nm

What was the offer?
If that is confidential information, could you please e-mail me?
Thanks!
job offer
I said I would pay high rate of pay. I don't think they believed me. I don't need to hire people very often but this account has switched to electronic records and now one particular doctor who is an outside contractor who is paid to dictate for other doctors has swamped me with work. We always billed gross lines until last month. This was a real hit for all of us. I had no idea the profession had gone so downhill. I don't hire often and don't participate in the MT local meetings. I never had an interest since I have been so secure with this account since 1978. I thought I would get lots of replies - but did not. Thanks anyway. I will post the ad again. I have a backlog of almost 500 reports right now.
How much cpl did they offer you? nm
nm
I have a job offer but .......
I have been offered a job, but I am a little scared at taking at 7 cpl being IC. How long have you been with Allegiant?
Got an offer the next day
I only emailed them my resume and did not even have to test. I got a call from them the very next day with an offer.
Just got a job offer from them
They do pharmaceutical presentation dictations and such. Only need folks once in a while on a p.r.n. basis, part-time. That's all I know.
And they only offer...
7 to 10 cents per 65 character line, wants a quick turnaround, and 15-30 minutes at the end of the presentation is multiple Q&A session. Not worth what he's offering, for the time it takes to do these types of transcription.
Does DSG offer QA for MTs or QA for VR?
What is DSG's QA like? Are there alot of ESLs?
Thanks
They know what we have to offer . . .
They know all about us, our stats, what we do, how we do it and generally what we have to offer. It's why they bought us out. It is us that have no idea what they have to offer.
Still waiting for answers to the questions we asked a week ago . . .
TRS has a lot to offer.
Good morning saw your post and just wanted to make a comment. The problem with archives is information could be old. We have a great management team. We have great accounts. We have great opportunities. So if you are interested I would certainly love to talk with you about TRS. Yes, we have training classes. No, we do not off-shore our work. We have a great reputation for doing things right. Have a wonderful day!
No, but I got a job offer also

Job offer
I have been offered an IC position with them. Pay is $0.09 per line.
TT offer
I'm still too new to comment on the yearly raises/bonuses since I've only been there a few weeks. They do offer many production incentives, though (one of the main reasons I chose TT over KS).
I understand the new line counting software will begin rolling out in mid-July on an account-by-account basis. It depends what account you will be working on as to when you will be set up. I'm sure whoever gets it first will let the rest of us know how it works and if they like it.
I understand that it will have no delays and also give information broken down by report. I think it also will give you line count data per hour, day, week, and other variables. I think it's a great move, and it will help me monitor my hourly line counts, as I'm always trying to speed things up! lol.
Good luck on your decision! I know it's alway tough trying to find the right fit. You hear good and bad about every single company. I honestly don't think any one company is the best. There are many good companies out there. It all depends on what you feel you need to be successful and whether or not that company can fulfull your needs.
Feel free to email me privately.
If you don't take the first offer they get for you SM
(and it's likely it will be with a company who advertises all of the time everywhere) at the rate offered (8 and maybe 9 cpl, never more), you will never hear from them again. They really just dole out offers from companies you can find yourself and never at a higher rate than usual.
DSG and DTS used to offer this. Don't know about now. nm
s
I don't think there is ANYTHING they could offer me except.....sm
a full corporate/company restructuring...I also received 2 callbacks in the last 2 weeks, and though the pay offered is high, so is the stress, miscommunication, disarray, frustration, lousy work pools, etc. Until all of that is straightened out and the company realizes that they will only get/keep really good MTs when they not only dangle golden carrots under their noses, but respond to their needs, treat them as REAL people, value them by their attitudes and by hiring QA, PS, and tech people that are knowledgeable, helpful, and are there for the MT.....well, that is when I would consider them again, if ever. High cpl is great, but feeling good about your company and your work, not dreading the day ahead, feeling relaxed and happy, respecting and KNOWING your bosses and supervisors...that is PRICELESS, as the commercial says. Best of luck to all who are new hires, or re-hires, hope everything is better at the Q.
Did you ask for it? Or did they just offer?
x
I got an offer too
I just got an offer from them today also! I'm going to look into them a little more before I jump in, but I have to say that 3 years ago was a long time ago....a lot COULD have changed. Also, I'm not prejudice so an Indian run company doesn't scare me. As long as I have work to do (unlike MQ) and I get my paycheck on time I'm happy.
Once offer QA, I get 7.5 CPL
I think I will keep looking.
All I can offer you is that on 6/2/08 (sm)
I submitted my resume to <******@tts-mt.com> and still have not received as much as a confirmation of receipt. Please email me if you want her name.
I got an offer but...
It was purely insulting. 6 cpl for up to 6000 lines and then slim until about 14000 when you would make 9 cpl. I can find places now with 8.5 or 9 cpl from line 1. Tiers don't work and this tier was truly insulting. I really couldn't believe it. I took a position somewhere else with some much better pay, but I really wanted to email them and tell them it insulted my knowledge and skill to be offered a bad tier like that.. maybe fresh out of school, but egads!
JOB OFFER
I HAVE GOTTEN A JOB OFFER FROM Transtech AND AM VERY UNCERTAIN ABOUT IT SINCE THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT I WOULD BE ON IS ABOUT 75% VR AND AND 25% STRAIGHT TRANSCRIPTION. HAVE NEVER DONE VR BEFORE (ALTHOUGH I HAVE MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AT REGULAR TRANSCRIPTION). I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER I COULD MAKE GOOD MONEY DOING THIS. ALSO HAVE READ MANY NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE COMPANY, ALTHOUGH PEOPLE SAID IT USED TO BE GOOD. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO ABOUT WHETHER I WOULD BE MAKING A MISTAKE TO TAKE THIS JOB WITH SO MUCH VR. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
new job offer?
what would you do??? Any advice welcomed. You get offered a job and told this company a week ago you accept but come Friday they don't have your logins and no real welcome from the Lead Transcriptionist either. A week to get logins is plenty. I am kinda scared to go with them on Monday as time is money.... That one is an IC company at 9 cpl. Don't want to sit around and get set up but not work. The second place offered me a job at 6.5 per line, they at least will provide the system (computer and wavepedal) and assign you to a trainer for the first few days. What would you do??
Offer from MDI MD see msg
Is there a steady workflow, or do you run out here and there? Thanks for any input.
