I bet other insurance carriers have insurance for their employees. Why not Wal-Mart? nm

Medware
Anyone with information on Medware. Would appreciate any input. Thank you in advance.
Medware
This was the worst of the worst for me. I went back to working for a hospital (at home) after a month with them!
Medware
Can anyone tell me how long it took to get hired with this company? I spoke with a recruiter last week, who acted like everything was all set and haven't heard from him since. I did send himi an e-mail, but got no reply. I didn't want to call and be a pester either, but I would like to know something. I was just curious if this length of time was normal or not....Thanks
MedWare
Well, on the other side of the coin there is the fact that they have an easy-to-use platform, you get feedback/corrections for every report you send into QA, they offer good medical and dental benefits that are affordable, there are 7 paid holidays and at least 10 vacation days per year given, my supervisor is approachable and allows flexibility within reason, and, in my experience at least, we do not run out of work frequently.
The fact that they have a subsidiary in India does not bother me. Nowdays, it is a fact of life in this, and many other businesss.
I've been very happy in my years with Medware and have no plans to leave.
Like I said... I know not everyone agrees with my views on this, but I did want you to have another opinion from the opposite side.

Medware has gone through a lot of changes recently and not all of them good. The mentality is based on quantity, not quality. If you want to push through a lot of charts for low pay and no raises, then Medware is for you.
Only a couple of positives: They do not deduct for errors, pay is made on time, vacation pay, but you have to work 3 holidays a year. Platform is easy to use. Flexibility in scheduling is a huge plus.
MedWare
I have been happy there and am in my 3rd year of employment. In my personal experience I can say that I do not have accounts that are "picked over" due to outsourcing. Mine are great, as is my supervisor.
Medware
What's the general consensus with regards to Medware? Thanks in advance.
medware
It doesn't make any sense. I passed it but they keep telling me I only scored an 82. HOw can you score an 82 when all your answers are right??
Medware
I had been with another company for nearly six years when I switched to Medware. I love Medware! They're like any other company wherein benefits are available, but you are required to work 40 hours a week and produce your required line count. Isn't that just the same as other companies? QAs are quarterly, the pay is fair, and I have had great supervisors...just the best!!! I think some of the comments I have seen about Medware are harsh. I've worked for the worst and feel Medware is one of the very best!!! 
Medware
I absolutely loved working for Medware. I worked for them for about 6 months. I quit, as I was moonlighting and working a fulltime job. It became too much. I would go back there in a heartbeat though!
Medware
I currently work for Medware and love it. The people are all great and I always have work.
Go with Medware! SM
GREAT benefits, GREAT team leaders, GREAT atmosphere just to name a few things. I worked BRIEFLY for JLG and was not very happy with them at all. The people were GREAT but the platform sucked. Also, I was not able to get much flexibility in scheduling. I have been with Medware for a year and a half now and absolutely LOVE my job and actually ENJOY coming to work! HTH!
MEDWARE INC
Do yourself a favor and do not work for Medware INC. 'Where there is smoke, there is fire.'
Regarding Medware
Someone who is disgruntled and who does not care to state WHY not to work at Medware. I work at Medware (on the Merit side...used to work on the Dictaphone side as a shift leader and delta) and I am VERY happy here, and have been for over 3 years now. It is still a great company to work for. Yes, there are a LOT of changes that have gone on over the past 1-1/2 years, but so far, have all been positive, so unless you care to elaborate, "I" love Medware and hope to retire here. As with any any job, there is ALWAYS going to be something that someone is not happy with. I think if you talk with the management personally (and respectfully) you might agree. JMO!!
Medware ---so far, so good --
Startup is quick. Supportive trainers. Like their platform. MT-friendly software.
Medware or Spheris
Medware wasn't a bad company and the benefits were good. The only complaint I had is they told me I would get a certain account, but when I started I ended up with 3 others, not including the one they told me I would get. I was started on all 3 at the same time and yes it got confusing. I worked for Edix, now Spheris, and the schedules were very very rigid there.
Feedback about Medware?
Okay, gang, here is one more. I see that they are listed as the 2005 and 2002 AAMT Employer of the Year, and I am scheduled to test with them tomorrow.
Any feedback, good or bad, on Medware?
Medware has benefits???
The only benefit I heard of was their paying half of self-employment taxes. They said they do not offer full-time employment; they offer statutory employment which means they offer one benefit--the full-time employment tax half-payment. Where do I find out about the medical, dental, etc. you mentioned?
Do you find BayScribe easy to use and to learn?
About how many lines per hour is your average? How many on a good day? I'm just wondering about what productivity people are REALLY having in the company, as opposed to what a recruiter might tell me.
Information on Medware
Thinking about working for them. Any input. Thanks.
Medware and Meridian?
Anyone know anything about these companies. I'm currently working but really need to get at least a part-time job as our work is extremely slow and I get the feeling that they are losing the account that I currently work on. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
I suggest trying Medware
I'm starting with them 7/1, but I can tell you the hiring process was one of the best I've experienced. The recruiter was super friendly. Once I applied, they got back with me within a few days. Also, the testing process was very reasonable. Great benefits from what I've read (on here) and they don't change your accounts frequently. Take care and good luck!
I too worked for medware
a few years back and absolutely loved it! I had to quit do to personal reason. Great bunch of people!
I believe Medware is hiring for ER accounts right now. sm

Medware - Are they really a good co to work for? Thanks.

Thanks, Medware, for this great gift!
And thanks especially to MTStars for all you do for MTs and making MT Week so much fun!
On ExText with MedWare and they also said No Vista! nm

Medware and Execuscribe, JLG any comments...
or opinions on theses three companies. Been offered a position with both and wondering who is the best out of these 3 to go with? TY in advance
Thank you, Medware and MT Stars for the $50 Amazon gift.
 I received my gift certificate yesterday. Oh boy - let the shopping begin! Thanks again!!
I have been told and read that Medware offshores. I think you can do better.
There are many American companies that do not offshore. Please steer clear of any offshoring companies at any cost.
I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

Full time at Medware is considered 32 hours. Nmsg..

Insurance
If you don't have insurance (dental, vision, prescription, chiropractic, and some locations medical) and don't have a lot to spend on insurance, ask me what I signed up for if interested.
There's a lot of information to tell and I don't want to ramble on if no one's interested.
Talk to ya later,

How can MQ take away the insurance
when the MT is paying for it also? Does that not count for anything?
Insurance
I didn't mean they were taking it away. What I meant is taking it over not making quota. Sorry.
wish I could help on that one - I have no insurance, however, -
I work for one of the TOP docs in NYC who is internationally known, so whenever I am sick, he has taken care of me, called in favors from other specialists, etc. The only bill I have to pay is the lab bill. If you work for yourself, that might be a route to go. I even got my bill at NYU Medical Center 75% off!!!
At one time Aetna was pretty good as far as rates for individuals.
Pet insurance....sm
No flames please, but how do you go about getting pet insurance? When you say "pretty inexpensive", what range are you talking about? Please, any info greatly appreciated. TIA
UPS insurance
I have sent packages via UPS that I have packaged myself and was still covered under their automatic $100 worth of insurance. I wonder if someone at the UPS store is giving you incorrect information? I had an ebay package damaged and they paid for the item even though I packaged it myself. Can you call the main UPS number and ask someone else?
Insurance
I am just curious about liability insurance for people that have IC status. Is it required and if so where can I find out some info on this? TIA
IC insurance
I have researched this myself and found that going through your local Chamber of Commerce is probably the most affordable way to go. If you become a member you are then eligible to get a good rate in health insurance and they offer many different options including HSA (health savings accounts). Check out different Chambers near you though because the membership fee can vary.
Insurance
I have a liability policy for which I pay $164 annually. This does not cover errors and omissions. For this type of insurance the cost would be sky high, or so I've been told.
insurance
I agree. I've had mine for 9 years as it was required and I've never used it. The only use it is, is for a write-off as a business expense for me.
insurance
there are several companies who now offer individual plans, depending on where you are, I had BC/BS - paid higher premium because I wanted good coverage, but can usually find something for around 100.00 a month if you don't have medical problems, copay for prescriptions may be 30-35.00.
insurance q
If you're someone with few health risks (non-smoking, etc.) and no major illnesses, you can probably get a good policy with any one of the major insurers, but ask specifics and shop and compare. When I was working as independent I tried to get one myself but they want to often put you in a $5,000 annual deductible which means you really have to get bad sick or hurt to even really see any benefits paid on your behalf and sometimes if you have a common condition like thyroiditis they would put an exclusion in for the first 6 months to 12 months that you have happen to need surgical treatment for that condition, i.e. thyroidectomy, you are practically on your own because it's pre-existing. I would suggest first applying for low-key health insurance, say $50,000, and then along with history-taking, they generally do a blood draw and EKG, along with perhaps even an HIV test among others, then you've got some "evidence" if you will of your health status before applying for major medical. Then decide later, if you are approved that is, if you want to keep the life insurance as you go independenty, or get life insurance and health insurance with a prospective employer if you happen to go that route instead of independent. This way family considerations also are taken into account. Overall it's best to go beyond the hand-outs which look so colorful and shiny with smiling faces, and look at the contract benefits, exclusions and limitations of any policy, which they hesitate to show unless you pay your money first. Hope you find the right one.
Insurance
I need to find out if Errrors and Omissions insurance is needed for a contracted medical transcriptionist?
Please let me know if you carry it and how I can obtain it?
Thanks...
insurance
No you do not need it and if you did, error and omission insurance is VERY expensive. I work for a company who requires general business insurance (tho I don't know why) and it costs me $168/year which I write off as a business expense but is still a waste of money in my opinion.
PIP INSURANCE
Everyone who lives in Florida should be aware that the PIP insurance as we know it is soon to expire on 10/1/07. Please go to the web site http://www.wpbf.com/index.html. In the center, scroll down a little in the middle is a survery that asks Do you think personal injury protection (PIP) should be eliminated? Please go on line and vote NO. Send this email to everyone you know. We want hundreds of votes.
Also, please send a letter to Governor Charlie Crist,o to Speaker Marco Rubio and Senate President Ken Pruitt. You can find their email addresses on MyFlorida.com. It is very important that they add this to their agenda on 6/12/07 for their special session.
Thanks for your help.
Insurance
I was in a similar position, needed insurance for just a short period until new insurance kicked in. I went to the United Healthcare insurance site and they have "gap" insurance that you can use for anywhere from 1 to 12 months I believe. It sure beats the high expense of COBRA and should get you through.
insurance
Yes, unfortunately I do know what happens! My husband has no insurance, but usually gets care through the VA. In April, he had an emergency, ended up with a pacemaker, a gazillion tests, doctors, two hospitals, ambulance, etc. Over $59,500.00 out of pocket expenses. If the VA does not pay (it is with their review board), we will be paying until we die. Some are taking as little as $25.00 a month, others are waiting for VA and then may reduce the charges somewhat. It is very scary to be without insurance. Try to get something for major hospital stays, surgeries, etc. Also, short term and long term disability are good. If you have any type of chronic condition, forget it. I have diabetes and hypertension both - cannot get coverage anywhere - I have tried several times, so I can be flexible/part time. Good Luck and God Bless You.
