$15 copay for PCP visits, $750 deductible. nm
Can you tell me if this is for good insurance, deductible, copay etc..??
I had a good rate before when I had insurance but the deductible was $5000 and no copay so it wasnt worth it.
MTSOs with insurance deductible 1000 or less? nm

Not management, don’t know about Transtech, fast typist, American, what have I not covered
Let's see, all the above have been said about me. I have been truthful trying to let others know about VR but the only thing most can do who are opposed accuse you of being too slow to make a decent salary, working as management, working for whatever company they are talking about and so on. I think I have reached my fill because others do not really care to understand. I went through why if VR threw in something wrong how a trained person would know and then someone came back asking if I were an American. If you cannot comprehend something seems like you just throw anything that might stick. I have tried because I have worked on VR now for about 7 years but no one wants to hear but what woes they face.
is the deductible for insurance still 2500 bucks w/ no copay for doc visit?
That is the sole reason I quit. That and the fact they switched me from account to account as soon as I started making a decent line rate with one.
They also have the ability to slow down how fast you can download files. They slipped and told me that it was to help control traffic on the server.
Oh, Transtech wouldn't be able to bring all those people into the office
IF they weren't paying us MT's one-half or more for doing ASR work. It's P:USH, PUSH, PUSH to do ASR.
Why do you think they want so much ASR -- money in their pockets -- definitely not in the MT's pockets.
8 cents new pt, visit, lower rate for returning visits??
Now this is a new one.
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.
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 sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
TransTech - is their insurance affordable? How much do they contribute? sm
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!
TransTech has NINE health insurance plans

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!
I covered that
My contract ends each year. I reassess if that same contract is working for me, if I want to raise my rates, etc and renew the contract. Many contractural relationships are handled this way.
When I owned my own client-to-service based service, I had a lot of government contracts, and they are sticklers for making sure you really know what you're doing with being a contractor. Now that I provide my services to a middle man, it's just the same on a smaller scale.
If ICs actually behaved like ICs and held the middle men accountable, you might see a livable wage actually still existent. Instead, posters as above who just dont want their own boat rocked mean that the crappy situation most MTs are in will continue.
All family is covered - all 3 of us have used ours. nm

Ok, I said the chocolate covered cherries but
I said, well almost. You just have to read all the post. Some ESLs on mine are better than the English so it can happen. I have 1 English speaking PA that it never gets and I have no idea why. Her reports are pure salad. I worked in a hospital before making both base and incentive and I only work part now so how to compare what I made then as to now? I have edited over 600 lines before BUT and read THIS, that is few and far between. The stars all have to be lined up for that to happen. I can and do do 400+ a line but am old and really have forgotten how much paid per line and per hour when working inhouse.
We are not hourly employees so we are not covered by that -
we are considered being paid by the piece and that is figured a separate way. That is why I had such trouble getting my unemployment because they said I was not an hourly employee and therefore was not entitled to unemployment.
to make sure the accounts are over-covered -- greed
FN is so very greedy. Keep 'em over-covered for TAT. Keep the gals scraping for bits. They would rather have way too many MTs than have just enough. I see things have certainly not changed...
Company Hack and Suckup...you covered it for us. n/m

We just covered this on the main board - probably a scam company -sm
In the past I have seen their ads (in every state) saying you can make mega $$$. However it is believed that they are XXXXX under a new name in order to get new victims. The company itself is actually in XXXXX, they say you have to buy the software they use $400 from another company (which they own too but have it hidden well). They then string you along with tests and practice dictation (which I suspect is real dictation) but you never get paid as you have passed the test, nor will you ever be quite good enough to pass. I know a few people that have done it, get strung along for 6 months or more then finally give up, eating the $400. So make a fuss and get their money back, reporting them to the BBB. As for no info, that is not good, if no phone number or address, or they make you buy stuff, steer clear.
Whether you apply on line or by written application, they have it covered
They have always had a disclaimer at the end of any paper Employment Application you fill out and sign, but now they also have them if you apply on line. They cover it nicely by saying I authorize investigation. That pretty much lets them do anything they want and without a written signature.

Remember, you are covered as long as you have documented Out of Work tickets - sm
You can still qualify for holiday pay if you try to get in your 32 hrs, and receive the NSA message. If there is no work, there is no work and they can't hold your holiday pay.
What's the deductible?
what is the deductible?
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Thanks! It wasn't deductible at all when I was an IC. sm
But I will never work as an IC again and I could not get an independent policy anyway, having had cancer and ongoing therapy. A lot of MTs are in this position with either age, a serious disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. It just isn't that easy to get self-insured anymore. That's why I don't understand companies who don't offer benefits. The last figures I saw, benefits were worth about 1.5 cents a line. Something to figure in when considering great wages. Thanks for the information.
$1000 deductible
I'm single and I pay $75 per period for the $1000 deductible, $25 office visit. There is also a $2000 deductible option that a single person would pay $37.50 per pay period, $30 office visit.
2500 deductible
Does this still have the 2500 deductible? Doesnt pay copays to doctor visits either?
$80 for $500 deductible, cheaper w/
.
actually I need to clarify the deductible sm
thing. It is a 4000 for hubby and I. But, they give you a benny account that has $3000 in the account. You can use it for your deductibles which would leave you with $1000 out of pocket. You can also use it to pay for medications but medications do not come off your deductible so if you use it all for that, you could get in a mess if you have a hospitalization. You would have to pay 4000. If you don't use the money it carries from year to year. So its not as bad as it sounds.
As far as the lady who wanted what Canada has; I understand her frustration. But, you would be waiting forever just to have a simple x-ray or MRI and forget surgery. Canadian health care system is not all that great, that's why lots of those folks come here.
I can't say I know the answer, but that is not it. Its a sad thing in this country though the health care situation
high deductible for medical
the basic plan has a 3000 deductible and costs $20 per pay or you can get 'better' coverage with a 2500 deductible or 1500 deductible. naturally these cost more per pay period as well. Other than that all the other benefits are decent and the night shift people start earning PTO immediately and can use it after 90 days, as opposed to 1st and 2nd shift who have to wait a year.
Various high deductible plans when
Back in 12/05, they had 3 high deductible plans, lowest deductible of which was $1500. Believe it was 1st of month after 90 days when it kicked in. Don't know if it's changed since then.
Large deductible and everything out of pocket.

I pay $140 a month total for $500 deductible-WMX
BC/BS with $1K deductible, dental is normal sm
coverage and as the person below pointed out, you are wrong on the PTO. Also, last year we were allowed to choose a plan with a lower deductible and pay for it and that choice was not given to us this year. Why don't you try telling the truth about Webmedx instead of prettying up everything?
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm

I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
I think you're confusing the deductible with the premium. sm
Family coverage is not $1000 a month in premiums.
you don't have to be IC to deduct that - just do an itemized 1040 and it is deductible even if yo

What happens if you don't meet your
xx
I meet
and some days exceed the minimum line count. As with any job, there's a learning curve. This is not a place where you can have a day of training and be up to speed. It will take 2-3 weeks before you are likely meeting production lines. You are, however, paid hourly while training, so it takes some of the pressure off.
Excellent benefits at TT. I have PPO coverage with a fairly low deductible
and pay $42 per pay period. The coverage is with First Health and they do offer coverage in all states. Good prescription drug coverage also ($10 copay). Hope this helps.
AARP was $800 per month, single. $1000 deductible. SM
I know personal insurance is reasonable for people under 50, really I do, but I'm not under 50, I'll be 60 in June. I have checked all over and, even with spousal insurance, it is 800-850. There is an insurance crisis in this country of epic proprotions and I don't see it being solved anytime soon.
I'm willing to pay well for my insurance, even though I am healthy now, but not 800 and up and those didn't even cover a yearly PE. Even my crummy Spheris insurance pays for that.
I have 4 "criteria" to meet to get it....(sm)
I have to have 98% on QA;
I have to type the schedule I committed to or arrange for;
I have to type 1600 lines on weekends;
And agreed to the incentive plan (which I signed and sent in when I started).
I had 13,823 lines this past payperiod. I had to work for it, no doubt about it. I really want to get to the 16,000 and even more but I don't know that I can do it consistently. Of course, I'm still learning my accounts so I'm sure it could get a bit easier or faster. It's no walk in the park, though. I have to concentrate and just really stick to it.
A friend of mine who referred me to MQ, she types 18,000 PLUS every check. I kid you not, she is the fastest thing on the keyboard I have ever seen. When I'm at her house, I just sit and laugh listening to her type -- she sounds like some kind of machine gun in there! ROFL
Now I would LOVE to type that much but I doubt seriously I EVER get it!!!
Too bad..I could really spend that money really well!!! ROFL
