Yes, my husband is self-employed so we have individual plans but...
the preminums keep going up and up. I realize they also do when you work for a company, but since they get a group rate, the hit isnt as hard as when you are self-employed. Once you have a medical condition and your self-employed, the rates are horrible. I am going to check into some of our plans here locally just to see. My husband and kids are on their own individiual plans and they do have a copay but all we could afford was the cheapest plan which does not cover a lot and like I said every year we get hit with higher preminums just to end up with less coverage. It is very discouraging.
Why do ppl have to stick OSI on every post
nm
That is they have LOTS of different insurance plans. typo on last post. sorry. nm

Attention to administrator.. Please remove my full name from the post I just put up. It should only have the initials JMD rather than a full name
previous post
Thanks for the info. !
Previous post
It is CMTI or Certified Medical Transcription Inc out of Florida -- sorry I omitted, but was really tired last night due to the heat here.
Um, that's exactly what was said in the previous post. nm
xxxxxxxxxxx
What happened to previous post
What do you mean choose from the ones no one wanted. What account is this on? Initials only pls.
Update on previous post
Forget the above. Not with them already. Believe what you read in the archives. Trust other people's experience. Still waiting for my check as well. The account was fine, that was not the problem. Just to update and revoke the above. My conscience could not let this stay. Happy Holidays and good luck in your search for a great place to work.
Change previous post
Actually, need to alter my previous post slighlty - they pay 4 for VR/ 8 for straight for Editscript and, I think, a little bit more for their other platform (do not remember the name). They actually have one of the best line rates for VR that I have come across.
I agree with the previous post
other than if you were working at McDonald's with nobody there to train you and you are just standing there waiting, you ARE STILL GETTING PAID.
Answered you on a previous post but way
down the page and did not see that. I have been in this field of work now for almost 40 years. I do VR and love it and make what I want but having said that, a person that allows someone to walk all over them is responsible, not the MTSOs. If more would just revolt, they might see a change but probably not, gone on too long now. People sit around and wait for work for days, weeks? What the heck is up with that? It is because people here do not want to give up the comfort of home and don’t search for other employment.
Should clarify my previous post above
my speed in straight transcription is 130-140, heavens knows what it is with editing.
Let's stick to facts rather than innuendo. If you can't do that, then don't post.

Not sure that 3 out of 100 or more is a good sign. I stick to my post above. LOL nm
Forgot to mention in previous post below
CBay does not have enough Indians to MT for the Q, so they signed a 6-million line contract to get SPi to start outsourcing it to the Philippines Situation will not get better!
As I stated in my post,
I was trained by a mentor. She had, at at time, over 25 years' experience in the field, about nine years ago. I have no idea what they teach about this in the classroom, but I suppose my answer would have to be that it was chiseled in stone. LOL!!!
However, just for you, I found this information provided in the BOS2:
In an independent benchmarking study of the MT profession conducted in 1999 by the Hay Management Consultants (HayGroup), three distinct professional levels for medical transcriptionists were identified and described.
The first item listed for the Professional Level 3 states, Recognized as possessing expert knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, disease processes, signs and symptoms, medications, and laboratory values related to a specialty or specialties.
Level 2 refers to the same knowledge, but as seasoned rather than expert.
Level 1 refers to the same knowledge, but as basic rather than expert or seasoned.
I would think that an expert level, even a seasoned level, would include available dosages and what the medications are used to treat, wouldn't you?
Does this mean you have to know this? No, I don't think so, but I would also think the transcriptionists with expert and seasoned knowledge earn more than those with basic knowledge. 
Hope this helps! 
It's a rumor. They have growth plans, not selling plans. nm
I think they want to be bigger than Spheris, not bought by Spheris, and if they continue to grow in the next few years as in the last few years, I think they can.
As stated in the Sten Tel post below
The person who asked this question, I think, asked about Sten Tel because of the job ads in the jobs section of this site. This ad was posted by Sten Tel in MA. She wants to know about this particular company because they have job openings.
She is not referring to the Sten Tel platform.
My previous post was verbatim from the company when I inquired at employment. Maybe (sm)
they tell everyone something different, like what they THINK they want to hear.....Guess I should have put it in quotes.
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post
I don't believe anything that was said was directed to YOU personally - it is SoftScript that is the JOKE, not you.
I, for one, am glad that you are happy where you're at not all companies are a good fit for all MTs and we all know that.
I speak for myself, with over 35 yrs experience. Personally my time at SoftScript was anything but pleasant and, again, from my point of view if you are willing to put up with J and H more power to you!!
Have a Great Day ALL, and a safe 4th of July!!
I saw some post from months back that they stated
they were very strict with the schedule. the schedule you give them is the one you have to work.
UMMM - I'm not at work, no need to correct as I stated below, I know post had errors.nm
nm
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post....i rest my case though, you people
ARE TRULY NASTY.......nothing short of a JERRY SPRING remake here....i simply said that SoftScript was wonderful and so far, i've been told i'm a joke, insulted, called names, etc.......now lets see if anyone has anything nice to say......as if that were possible on this board.............
ooops....yes!!!
nm
Ooops
That was supposed to be American's
Ooops, should be ESL. nm
xx
Ooops, sm
you must have had a fairly difficult account, did you ask to be switched?
OOOPS
Sorry...have a brief senior-moment. I stand corrected.
ooops
Ya, I blew that one. But I did not say that before, there is more than one anon out there !!!!
ooops, should be "requirement" NM
z
I am sorry I hit a nerve, ooops.
oooops
ooops. Meant thank you (no -s-)
Ooops TYPO
 I better correct my statement before I raked over the coals for a typo by the grammar police. The platform is great and exceed the line count every pay period.
It should read The platform is great and I exceed the line count every pay period.
I guess I better get this first cup of coffee down quick!!!
Ooops!!!! How about how much their INSURANCE is.....LOL
I am NOT interested in buying the company. Isn't it funny how leaving out ONE word makes such a difference
Ooops, sent an e-mail
to one of you, but don't know who and didn't mean to. I'm tired!
Ooops.. MT (or even MLS if you like) translates to.... n/m

you must really suck at your job
They suck
They are VERY unprofessional.
they suck.
true enough
And they still suck
Indian QA must be an oxymoron. I've seen work coming from India and it's terrible.
SUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to move up in the company? LOL!
Maybe that's why they suck.
x
Suck it up.
You know what?
I don't really care if you believe me or not. In fact, it's more fun for me if you believe the hype that MTs are relegated to making minimum wage. It's your pity party. Go ahead and wallow in it.
If you are actually interested in knowing how I managed to reach that level, see my post below. Or don't. No skin off my nose.
Peace.
THEY SUCK!
they are HORRIBLE to work for now, they outsource overseas and expect us to work for the amount they do there. I just left there and would recommend everyone STAY CLEAR. there is only ONE good manager there, the rest lie to you and are horrible. add to that, there is never enough work to go around, as they let the HOURLY people do all they want while the production pay ppl have to struggle to get enough $$ to make bills. at the end I was making like $5 to $7/hour there. NO FREAKIN WAY.
They suck.
Truly.
ooops, my expander got out of hand..lol - nm
