cash for time spent in a hospital. Unless things have changed, I don't believe they have "regular" health insurance policies. I wouldn't buy from them anyway - they did a hike on my car insurance to over double one year about 5 years ago - I went to another insurance company and saved enough to cover my homeowner's insurance. They talk a good game, but it's just that - talk! You might try Anthem - I see them advertised on TV a lot now for individual policies. Good luck in finding something!

That's an insulting offer for someone with experience. Please keep looking. nm

I would give my background and experience and offer references. I would not
mention prices. Put it on a nice letterhead with your company name. Maybe a pen or something could be included, kind of like drug reps do when they hope to talk to somebody in charge in the office. Make friends.
Offer 1 week notice, but willing to offer 2 if they would be in a bind. Also, (sm)
make sure your resignation letter is written with class. Never good to burn your bridges.
VR pays half of what typing pays...
If you would read her post more closely she said she does VR, which pays half of what straight typing does. I do VR and have made 4 cpl, so 5 is actually good and 4-5 is an industry standard, and may be even less if you are an employee. The problem is that you have to double your line counts in order to make decent money, which is not always easy. I embrace VR because I like it better than straight typing, but it is not productive for everyone, no matter how hard you try.
Policy (SM)
There is policy about this.
Please write the Administrator about this (admin@mtstars.com).

I think the policy is
as long as they have an American office (storefront) they are still considered American and they do not allow offshore MT's to post resumes - but that is an I think.
If only this policy was followed with consistency, now that would be new!

It seems like you have to ask the company what their policy is (nm)

you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.

Check the policy. It says......
unlimited long distance, person to person, then you will get busted. It may take a little while but they'll get you. I learned the hard way. I used Vonage and it worked great.
Honesty best policy
I don't think it would reflect badly on your son if you're just honest with the person who hired you about not being able to be on your feet for so long. I would suggest telling him/her that you didn't realize how difficult it would be to be on your feet for so many hours and that you've made a mistake. I think everything should work out just fine in the end :)
If it is your company policy, then you have
to do it. I would keep track of it though, check for errors, etc.
Not if you have a company policy
THANK YOU! That is my point. She still pays taxes, her DH still pays taxes...
so who exactly is getting cheated? And just who are you talking about when you talk about whether it is "fair" or not. I don't give a crap how much taxes my neighbor pays. It's none of my business. And if I found out they were paying less in taxes than me, I would ask them how they heck are they doing it so I can do it too!
I just want ask, is it necessary to get personal and insult? You disagree with me, fine. But I've been called a liar, a cheat, a no-ingetrity thief, my intelligence has been insulted, and I have had my parenting skills questioned. That is a little over the top. If you cannot debate an issue without resulting to personal attacks, then YOU are the stunted one!
It is a very good thing that some of you work at home, ALONE! You are sorely lacking in people skills and diplomacy. Let me guess, when you worked in the office you were one of those girls who didn't like to share her desk, griped if someone dropped a crumb on your desk, and kept track of everyone's breaks, lunches, and line counts just so you could tattle to the supervisor! I've worked women like you, it was like working with kindergarteners. That's why I came home to work. Do us all a favor, looking in the mirror, count your wrinkles, and realize that this isn't high school anymore!
I never said it was an insurance policy. Are there not programs set
up for a reason? Is there no government assistance programs set up so that people can get help momentarily when they need it? I am not talking about depending on it. I am talking about OUR tax dollars going back to us during a time of legitimate NEED, not out of laziness. Do you think they are better spent in Iraq or a lot of other bull crap spending that is done on people not in our own country? We pay for this! No we don't have to expect our government to help us in times of need. Move to freaking Africa. Those views would fit in real good over there. I hope your kids go to private school. Wouldn't want the government taking OUR earned money and spending it back on us.
Deletions are made according to policy. (SM)
If you have a complaint about a post, take it to the Monitor board.

You'd be better off getting a private policy. Premiums are
cheaper, though still expensive, and you don't have to worry about insurance if you make a job change. Shop around, should be able to get a family policy for about $400.00/mo.
Or try to get the kids a separate policy

Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
I would read your health ins. policy
My husband's policy specifically states that even if a married couple get separated the spouse no longer has insurance coverage! The coverage definitely stops, on my husband's policy, when a divorce is final.
I would want to read a copy of the health ins. policy for sure. Just my 2 cents. :)
Each company has their own policy for how they handle it.
I only worked for one company that deducted and that was YOG. There is no industry standard, at least that I am aware of. I'm going on 6 years at my current company and have never had a deduct.
That depends on the company's policy.
Each company defines it's own policy. Most all do pay it out but since offering paid time off is not mandatory by any federal or state government, there is no mandate that a company HAS to pay out any accrued but unused paid time off.
Your Human Resources or Benefits Department will be able to direct you to the policies that govern this for your employer.

Official policy puts it best . . .
from the 2002 AAMT Book of Style:
"Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities do not belong in a patient's record unless they are part of direct quotations that are essential to a report."
In 20+ years of transcribing, mostly psychiatry, with, as one might imagine, a lot of profanity, I've always just typed whatever the clinician quoted the patient as saying, and have never had a complaint.
Good luck,

Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.
http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm
No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.
I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.
It's the advertising policy of MTStars..

Experience on top, current experience first. Education second. Leave out ALL fluff.
Recruiters don't need your life story. They need to know if you can do the job. If you want, put your current employer, then state "I have 20 years in the profession doing....." Keep it simple; keep it clean. If you want to go into more detail, do it during the interview. A HUGE red flag is to see that you've worked for 10 different companies, for months at a time. I know that someone who has worked for the same company for 2 years or more is going to have some degree of loyalty and will work through issues rather than cut and run.
Looks to me like this is the current policy, approved 10/2004, and

Health Insurance policy for 2006
is now charging a supplement payment for smokers and those that live with smokers. Does anyone else have this policy or getting for the next year? This not through MT companies.
Well, my life insurance policy is worth more than I am,
especially the more I try to make MT work for me. Oh, well. It used to be a lot worse. I cut up my credit cards and made power payments on those. I have my first credit card now in 10 years. Yours isn't bad. You can do it.
The national I work for has a no blank policy. sm
Plus you have to have 90% no blanks to QA to get bonuses and to maintain full-time status. This is very hard sometimes with some of the dictators that dictate from across the room, while the ward is going ape, and this all right next to the telemetry monitor and the ringing phone or at home with the yapping dogs in the background.
But I have found our QA to be forgiving and understanding, so I am getting more comfortable. I think they have a high standard so we will step higher, but they understand the reality, which I think is good.
DH says he definitely would not go through what I go through to be sure there are no blanks, but I am hoping that in time it will get easier, and I will get more productive, and I think it is.
OUCH! I had a private policy with BC/BS for $180/month sm
and it was a pretty good plan -- Affordablue -- had a $25 copay for office visits or something like that. That was just a single plan, though. It included dental coverage too, bot other than covering for routine cleaning and such, it was kind of useless when paying for crowns and other "big" items.
Sounds like you have a good deal. Fortunately, I am working for Transtech now and have affordable insurance .. whew!
I know you are looking for BCBS, but my United HealthCare policy SM
will allow my kids to stay on until they are 26 if they are not married and still living at home, whether they are in college or not. I double checked about it, and it's true. Also my dental is the same way but a different carrier.
If you leave one job and get a so-called bridge policy for your SM
90-day waiting period at your new job, this this also qualify as no break in coverage.
I'm getting ready to switch jobs, and there is just no way that we can afford the Cobra payments.
What about just a catastrophic policy in case something major happens?
Anthem I know has some cheaper high-deductible policies. Most nonprofite hospitals also have organizations to help with medical bills for the uninsured/lower income patients.
Read the policy and procedure manual, maybe something is in there.
I do not believe there is a law, but you could check with the labor department.
There was no announcement of this policy change? Sounds like it's time to go. nm

I'm with you on the illegals, but paying taxes is not an insurance policy.

I do not carry E&O insurance, but I do have my equipment covered under my HO policy.
My office is in my home and, God forbid, there should be a fire, I'd be out of business. I have coverage for my computer, printer, fax, phones and loss of use on a separate rider. Also, should anyone injury themselves coming or going from my office while doing business with me, their injuries are covered. Perhaps this is the information you're looking for.
Times change..including this policy about who is able to post. About a year ago,
this board started letting everyone post job openings, at least to what I can remember. I know at one point if they were India-based/affiliated etc..then they could not advertise but since anymore it is so rampant with companies being associated with India, they started letting them post. I could be wrong but this is what I recall.
Yes, it does constitute "creditable coverage." The only policy I found that was not considere
short-term policy. As you can tell, I've done this A LOT... So, I've hit every scenario..
Need bridge policy ASAP. Where can I get it? Have SEVERAL pre-existing conditions and meds
Just one medication at full cost is half of the COBRA payment plus I have steroid and Botox injections scheduled. Need insurance. Can anybody tell me where I can obtain "bridge insurance" without going broke?
who pays 40% tax?
I'm an IC and keep track on my gross income and taxes on an Excel spreadsheet. I use this link to calculate my taxes: http://www.pensoft.com/taxcalc.asp
I claim married status, one dependent. I'm paid semi-monthly. I make certain to double the SS tax at the bottom of the page.
My taxes are between 22% and 25% of my gross earnings, depending upon what the gross pay is. Never had a problem with the IRS yet.
So, if 40% of your gross earnings goes for taxes ... something is WRONG!!!!

What do to if the company you work for doesn't pay for two months and stops answering mails and work is stopped as well? I am in a different state than Ohio.
