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!
Well that is not really considered family plan
A family plan is husband, wife, and children. If it were just one spouse and two children, it would be cheaper. You have to also consider your co-pay. $700.00 a month with co-pay of $10.00 and drugs for $20.00 tops (most cost us $5.00) is very good. East coast may be different though. The $700.00 comes out of two pays ($350.00) each pay per month and is before taxes. Not so bad especially when I hate clinics! I'd rather pay out-of-pocket then go to a clinic. Sorry, just how I feel. Gotta pay to play I guess... LOL
Webmedx has the best overall family coverage plan.....nm
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.
the employee plus spouse (not the family plan) is 145 a payperiod.

For me the family insurance...
is high compared to my husband's insurance, but then again, his insurance is AWESOME, so I did not need the coverage. This is based where I live, and I am in PA. Their vision IS better than my husband's though so I did get that, and the dental coverage is not bad either, but again, my husband's covers ortho whereas they do not. Overally, they do have good benefits compared to other companies I have worked for. HTH
How much is insurance for a family at TT

How much does insurance for family
coverage cost with Axolotl? I could not find anything on their web site that said.
Does anyone on here work for them that knows. Thanks.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
Can anyone recommend a co. that has decent family insurance.
I cannot afford to stay working for the company I am presently with. Low to no work and the family insurance rates are over $700 a month. I have over 13 years of experience and I am hoping there is a company out there that rewards that with decent benefits.
Do you know what the insurance costs are?? family or single?
Thanks. Looking for a new job.
How much if family health insurance at these companies?
Transtech, SOAP, Futurenet, and Transolutions?
Do they include dental and/or vision with that?
Needing to make a choice and health insurance is the most important thing right now with 2 small children.
Thanks!
Does anyone know what the current family rate for insurance is with Keystrokes?
Im looking at comparison costs.
$600 a month for family?? Yikes.. better pass. I need better insurance than that. Thanks
I am the sole insurance provider for my family and I work for TT
Unfortunately, I did not know about the rate, but I am staying to work more. I am not there for the warm fuzzies necessarily. It is nice. I am there because I can trust the boss to know who I am and that the boss will provide the lines for me to type so I can pay the higher rate. I am willing to work longer hours and stay. I could go elsewhere but I have been in every situation including hospitals where the boss is abusive. Believe me, there was not 1 place worth staying because I am here now. I am not sucking up, nor am I being kushy but as far as I know, this is the best choice for me and my family. I work at home, don't pay gas prices, get reimbursed for cable which is my commute, no one else does that. I don't have to buy clothes or lunches out because I work outside of the house. I don't have to pay for daycare because the boss worked with me and my scheduling needs. My goodness! They are not just warm fuzzy. They are business people who know that their profit goes up if the workforce is happy. Not their fault the cost of insurance goes up. Go talk to the insurance companies. Besides, I said several other times on here that this is not their final rate, they are working to come up with some other plan if possible.
So quit with the warm fuzzy business and make a check list of business facts of why this company is growing both in labor pool and clientelle. I am glad you are happy at your company but please don't speak for breadwinners of TT, because I do not like your speaking for me or about me. Thanks in advance.
I have the insurance, single plan..I did NOT know..(sm)
there was dental and eye! Are you sure about that? How did I miss that?
Isnt their family medical insurance kind of high. I think that is
why I passed on them previously and they only wanted to pay 7.5 cpl for 12 years of experience.
Anyone pay less than $800 a month for family insurance?? I work for a small MTSO
and it's not like I make a ton anyway, but the insurance is so high for my family. I feel like I'm just working for the insurance. My husband is self-employed so he obviously doesnt have insurance through his job to provide this so it is up to me and I'm dying here. Any suggestions? We have tried individual plans but it is a fortune for high deductible and yucky coverage. I need to maybe find a larger company to work for where the benefits are a little better.
I'll switch with you. You take my insurance plan and I
xx
I heard there would be a new insurance plan in place by 2/1 and 3/1 but so far nothing new (sm)
I will have to drop my insurance and try to find my own policy if they don't come up with something soon. I hate doing it but I just cannot afford over $500 a month for single coverage.
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
Medware- Ballpark figure for cost of their family medical insurance. NM

How is Transcend/MDI's medical insurance plan for employees?
Thanks
Is that individual or family and what is the company?
nm
It is a family owned company and
Yes, every report is put on hold until it is released from QA. I guess they go over it,or just release it, I do not know, but every report that is transcribed must be put on QA hold/sent to QA even if no blanks are in it.
prices going down?
..........the price for the hospital won't go down, but the pocketbook of the MTSO will increase in size!! Believe me, no one is going to benefit from this but India and the outsourcing MTSO. I'm sure this is how it is for all companies who outsource.
WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
Yes, I think you should work for that offshoring company, go for it!. Feeding your family ist the m
Nobody is going to pay your bills and put up a monument for you because you refused to work for an offshoring company!
They might be offshored BUT they drove down prices when they were sm
able to be sent offshore, prior to the VA system getting wise. Until 15 months ago, keeping the work in the USA was not a requirement for VA accounts. You had to be a US company but could have anyone do the work.
Don't forget that the increased prices from this will
You have to think hard before shooting yourself in the foot! Can you really afford the injury?!
Doctors know EXACTLY what is going on. So do government officials - we all do.
WE are part of the problem - wanting lower priced healthcare, low priced insurance but not want to care one hoot about our health -- making gluttons of ourselves, not exercising, smoking, diabetes, heart disease, all the other crap people do to themselves (not to mention things that cannot be avoided). We don't want to pay so they find ways to lower cost and make it more affordable to ALL of us.
It will hurt us more in the long run by raising costs of healthcare and insurance to the point no one can afford it except the wealthy. Don't start with the line that only the wealthy can afford insurance and care now. Bull. It's a matter of priority...perhaps people can do without the brand new car or the satellite dish or all the video games, etc., and spend a little on insurance protection, etc.
It's NOT just offshoring. It is ALL of us. Every single one of us contribute to this picture one way or another.
If they want rock bottom prices
then why doesn't the hospital contract directly with the MT? Cut out the huge salaries for the suits. No one can convince me that the cost of transcription isn't inflated by outsourcing!!
Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n

Don't worry just find out and then have a plan A and plan B
I have gone through something like this but not with that company. I too am the insurance provider for my family and there are preexisting conditions, so a private policy is no good.
First of all, I work elsewhere but had the same situation. I fell short of line count, but not because of me, because they did not have enough work, and I like many others cannot make quota because of the way they count lines. Then, on last paycheck there was a negative on insurance money taken out of check. I thought I lost insurance, but found out at the end of the year, they did an audit and found out that I overpaid all year and so I actually was owed money that check.
In the meantime, I found another job but have to wait 90 days for insurance. Can't find a policy to bridge the 2 jobs, insurance is on my mind all the time. My heart is with you. Personally I am getting the 90 day meds, working on my second job which will become my real job and if I lose the insurance, Cobra will kick in in case of disaster so that is like major medical.
Sorry such a long post, but I suggest: Not to panic. You probably did not lose insurance. Call the benefit provider to see you are still covered, not the employer. If you are not still covered, get 90 days of Rx if your plan covers by mail and be billed, immediately get another job which is a better place to work anyway (I found one) and in 90 days you will be okay. Some places like Disriter cover the first of the following month, but I would not necessarily suggest you work somewhere which is not so great just for insurance. You can consider TransTech. That would be my suggestion. Sorry for such a long post. But this hit a nerve and I wanted you to understand some options, as I have gone through it. Good Luck.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
If you know who the insurance company
is, contact them. If that is who you have been calling, contact HR at your company. SOmetimes it does take a while to get the cards, as long as you have the information on the insurance company you can give to treating facility, if you need it, you should be covered.
The ad says they treat MTs like family ... what a family that must be! LOL nm
Anyone know what company OSI's health insurance is through?
TIA
Insurance question. The company SM
I now work for has something called consumer driven insurance.
I would like to know the names of MT companies that offer HMO or PPO. I do not care what the premiums are; just if they offer regular health insurance and not the above-mentioned type.
Please help. Thank you.
Just dealt with that with my insurance company
Makes me insane!! Health insurance issues are pretty important to me, especially when the bills are a couple thousand dollars. It would be nice to be able to understand what they are saying and be understood!
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.
I like the insurance they have now. It is cheaper than the one that my husband's company has. s
They have been trying to get new insurance for over a year but do not have the participation requirement filled, as they have let everyone know. However, I spoke to a manager who told me that the one that they have been working on since December looks good, just taking longer than expected as they keep asking questions.
We have insurance through my husband's company and this year
our premium was only raised $3.00 and our benefits were improved.
If you have pre-existing conditions you don't have lots of options, but there are lots of other options available otherwise.
Great company and they pay employee insurance. nm

Need a company that takes out taxes and has insurance
I can't be an independent contractor because my husband is self employed. One of us needs to pay for taxes and insurance. Anybody know of some companies that do this that I could check out?
Oh really? What company do they carry their insurance with? Thinking of applying there.

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!
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
I have insurance through them. It is Unicare. It is less than what my husband's company charges
It is high though, $487 per month for myself, my husband and 2 kids. DH's job wanted $940 per month.
When you leave a company, is your insurance canceled immediately?
I'm assuming I'll still be getting my premium taken out of my check up to the end, so does the insurance go til the end of the month? Want to make sure my daughter's dentist visit in Oct is covered, and 2 weeks notice would put me into October but I wonder if I should wait until after her appt for my last day. Does anyone know?
Oh yeah.... I got a new job!!! I got a new job!!!
