about 180 per 2 weeks for family, dental, and vision.

In Reply to: Webmedx has the best overall family coverage plan.....nm - webmedx family coverage

Vision and dental are separate.  250 deductible.  there is a cap of out of pocket expenses for family, I am not sure as I am not covered right now, but will in the near future.  they pay 90%.  Office visits Co-pay with medication co-pay.  It is really a great coverage and by far the best from what other companies offer that I have found. 


Hope that helps.  Check them out.  I think they are great to work for!

Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm

I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.


Their individual insurance is $52 a mo and their dental and vision
run it up to about $60 a month. If you leave, you also get to Cobra the dental and vision together at $30 a month. I know because I left and went back. Nice folks.
Yes, medical, dental, vision, and life

I pay about $75 per pay period for medical, dental, vision with TT sm

for single coverage -- I don't consider that 'huge, especially compared to other quotes I have seen.  I definitely paid more than that when I had coverage on my own.


 


I have medical, dental, and vision at TransTech for about $72 per pay period. nm

I don't think you missed much. When I looked at the dental and vision plans sm

with AFLAC, it didn't look like they paid for much compared with the premium charged.  I didn't talk to the representative guy, though, so maybe I misinterpreted the info.  Anyway, I am trying to shop for something different, just to help cover the basics.  I do wish I had taken out the disability protection with them, though ... maybe next year.  :-)


I am extremely grateful for the insurance, though.  So far, it seems to pay pretty well and has been a lifesaver!



When we signed up for the new vision and dental, it said in the forms that it started 6/1. Deductio
They were waiting for the paperwork from the insurance company, so it was delayed. Technically, the money should have come out on 6/1 and you knew this signing up for it.

I don't want to sound uncaring, but we knew when we signed up that the premiums were monthly and started 6/1. I had the extra month of $15, so I knew it would come out.

The truth is that the double was $30 but one was only $15, so it was $15 extra. If they had taken it out last month, would you have been complaining?

I personally am glad that we have vision and dental now and that every year my benefits get better rather than being taken away like with some companies.

Also, it is the bank that determines that if it falls on the 1st, it posts on Monday. My bank posts on Saturday, so not a problem. Before you complain, make sure you have something to complain about. They have also had them in on the Friday in the past, so I am not going to bash a good company for something that has not happened. If it does go on Monday, that is what we know from day one, so it is not that they are pulling a fast one or making changes; this is the way it has been for the 5 years I have worked for them.
Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental.  Hope this helps.     
Less than $360 for family at MQ. Med/Den/Vision
nm
I went the last 2 weeks with $3 for my family of 3.
 a couple of weeks ago it was $5.  I remember the good old days, too.  Christmas off AND paid and time and a half AND an extra day off if you worked, bonus, affordable insurance that actually covered our expenses, being able to pay the bills and having money left over, and having RESPECT.  All of that with just 1 job.  Now it's gone with the wind. 
Do they still pay vision since switching
to TriNet?   The rates went up pretty significantly on everything else. 
Does anyone know anything about Vision Infonet?
curious.  I could find no info, except for MD help or something.  just wondering. tia.
If vision is an option, can you answer this? sm
Any eye care specialist (or contact lens wearer) attest that glasses do not improve vision as well as contacts lenses. Contacts correct the peripheral vision whereas glasses do not. Also, speaking from personal experience, NOTHING compares to LASIK. Contacts corrected my vision to 20/20 bilaterally. I had LASIK done almost 3 years ago and my vision is still 20/15 in both eyes.

I had custom wavefront, which was pretty pricy at $3300. However, I haven't paid a dime for vision correction since my procedure. Before LASIK, I would estimate my annual eyecare costs ranging from $450 to $600.

Insurance companies will pay for auditory surgery such as cochlear implants to correct hearing impairment, which they should. But how is surgery to correct hearing any different than LASIK to correct a visual impairment? Couldn't the same argument (cosmetic)be used if a hearing aid provided the same benefit as an expensive cochlear implant?

I just don't understand the inconsistency. Could it be that people with visual problems far outnumber those with hearing loss? Just a thought.
They don't pay for vision unless you have medical insurance.
When I first started they paid for vision, but unless you get medical coverage it is no longer free, unless it changed with the enrollment that is going on now. 
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
The ad says they treat MTs like family ... what a family that must be! LOL nm

The foreseeable future is viewed through 20/200 vision.
which means it's not going to be too far down the road.
I believe Jan 1. I already used the dental,
and it paid 100%. Just got the EOB today. And with my great new dentist, I just showed my card and they filed it, and I didn't have to pay it myself like I did with my last dentist. They didn't even file it for me.
Dental

We get an occasional dental surgery report on some of our hospital accounts. 


Just FYI:  I had extensive dental work and oral surgery done 2 years ago and asked both places about their transcription.  They said they do it inhouse.

Dental Transcription
Hello does anyone know of any at home dental transcription companies?
My dental hygienist
is a guy. He makes tons of money and loves his job.
How is Medquist's dental insurance? sm
Is there a waiting period of 1 year before you can use it? If not, is there a waiting period of 1 year before you can use it for orthodontics or dentures? Some policies you have to wait a year to use it and others you can use it for fillings and such, but have to wait a year for anything really major.
How is the medical/dental for Medquist?
Curious to know before I take the test. Cost? Coverage?
Medical/Dental MedQuist

The coverage just switched in July from Aetna to United HealthCare.  I have single coverage and pay $63 per pay for health and $8.58 for dental. I don't know how good this United coverage is because I haven't used it yet. But I know there are 2 or 3 different plans you can sign up for.  I have to pay a little more because my doctor is an out of network doctor. I know if you have a doctor who is already in their network it's cheaper. I also have short-term disability that they take out about $11 for.  I don't know about the dental because I haven't used it for a while. The only dentist on their list that was in my area was about 50 miles away. So I'm hoping nothing happens to my teeth!  If you have any more questions you can e-mail me.


DSGs dental insurance
Does the dental insurance that DSG offers have a $1000 annual limit on amount of payout?
not paying for life or dental
Not many companies pay for dental or life. With the way things are going in this county, can you blame them? If we still have work, keep working! I am not giving up on this company until I get my OUT THE DOOR NOTICE! Believe me- I sure in the heck don't want that to happen- love my accounts and the fact that we do not have to do a time clock. Yes, we need to work our schedules, but not punching in and out is a good feeling!
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?
Webmedx offers PPO and good dental. nm

Dental is thru Metlife (good coverage). sm
Platform is their own, uses ShortHand for expander.
JLG no longer paying Dental or life

first direct deposit now this??? scary!!!


I paid 80 per pay period without eye or dental coverage. nm
nm
I pay about $150 a month for single coverage, medical, dental, sm
vision, $750 deducible, $15 copay for PCP, $30 copay for PPO specialist.  Hope that helps.
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


BTW I work part time too. 


Dental is Metlife; medical is BCBS w/medication plan sm
$1000 deductible but office visits are $25 co-pay. I think there is a vision option but I don't take it. DD, payday every other Monday; my checks have always been on time. Incentive plan based on total # lines produced, as well as shift differential (not much but there is one). 6 paid holidays, PTO (which is not much first year but rises after that).

As for hours, talk to the recruiter about what you want; I believe schedules are based on which accounts have needs at the time you apply.

401K - no matching.
I think it starts at 90 days; Blue Cross Blue Shield. Delta dental. nm

The 2nd one was NOT family. Again, get your sm
facts straight.
Family

No ... not being catered to.  The company pays the same portion of my insurance for my family plan as it does for the employee who has no family.  With the new plan, for health and dental for myself and my family, I will be paying a grand total of $738.93 a month, which is down from $977.00 I was paying.  I hardly call $738.00 a month being catered too.  I'm just happy it came down.  The employee only rates are still very, very good from my point of view, and it does seem like it is really good coverage.


this is for family?

No family? sm
Then who is that cutie in the picture? 
You say family comes first?
All the love in the world goes out the window if you are hungry. Check and see just what are the basic needs. Love is not the first thing on the list.
family plan
Anyone know what the cost would be for a family plan?
family plan
I can't find the info they sent me...It should be here somewhere.  I'll look some more Sunday and see if I can find it. 
family plan
I've looked everywhere and can't find the initial info they sent.  Maybe someone else who has a family plan through MQ or at least can find their introductory info on the insurance plan can answer this.  Sorry! 
They do not pay anything on family coverage, IMO. That is why I would rather be an IC and buy

my own policy versus being an employee of a service.  When you think about it, being an employee for most of the services out there offers no real benefits at all.  I have found that the PTO that some of these companies offer as part of their benefits package is a crappy.  You basically get paid a base hourly rate for any PTO you take and that base rate never EVER equals what you actually make when typing.  So you are basically penalized for taking time off.


And health insurance benefit packages are a joke!  They pay nothing for family coverage and not to mention there is always the threat looming over your head that if your production falls, they can take your benefits away.


If I were you, I would either be an IC and buy your own policy or try to get on with a hospital that offers work at home MT jobs.  Hospitals are the only places that offer decent health insurance coverage for families.  I have my own accounts and bought a health insurance policy for my kids and I, but recently I took a job with a hospital just for the insurance.  So now I have my own accounts plus I work FT for a hospital from home.  I pay $175 a month for family coverage with a $1000 family deductible.  It was financially a smarter move for me to go to work as an employee with the hospital because I'm saving a bundle on insurance.


Again, let me say, I would NEVER go back to work as an employee for a service.  They don't offer anything that I would consider benefits.  You're better off buying your own policy.


If you are single and have no family

go for it.   My situation was a bit different in that I wasn't running out of work, just testing the waters.  I applied to about a dozen companies, offered positions with each, took 3 positions to figure which I liked best.  I had worked for a small local company for 13 years as my only experience so was really clueless.   I found it really difficult to switch from the various accounts and scheduling became a nightmare because I really had no clear-cut hours or line counts.  It got to where I wasn't doing a good job, just doing the lines and not caring about the product, plus I was screaming at my son for bothering me while I was trying to work.  Just wasn't worth it. 


 


 


Single or family? nm

Family coverage
is about $217 per pay period. I think you have to get this one if you have more than one child.
Yes they have family coverage

but I do not need that right now.  I have a schedule but they are flexible hours so that really helps.  Pay does include all spaces, but what I like is the direct deposit and the steady work.  I have been with Medware for 2 years and always have work.  If my primary is out they give you a back up account.  Finally my income meets my needs and I can move ahead with some things around the house that needed fixing.  Plus it's nice knowing I have good health insurance.
