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.

BCBS
Can you give me an idea of what your friend is paying and how they managed to get on BCBS. I am looking into a lot of info before a big decision in my life.
BCBS. Individual policies.
.
Sad but true. We pay $96.00 a week for BCBS and they
deny practically everything.
If you go to a quick care because your PCP can't see you (and they never can) the insurance covers about 30% whether or not you have an actual confirmed diagnosis. I swear the PCP's send you to quick care because they're only going to get $50.00 for an OV for conjunctivitis after you pay the $20.00 copay. The quick care charged us $368.00 for conjunctivitis and insurance paid less than $120.00.
It's a tragedy. It's no longer health "care" and it hasn't been for a long time. 
BCBS is one of the companies taking

If you mean United Transcription...
Recruiter, Melissa, had me do a questionaire first. after she was satisfied with this, she wanted to send me a pre-employment screening test. However, it looked like she was only going to send it to me if I had planning on taking it RIGHT THEN AND THERE just because it was timed and needed to be back in 24 hours (we are about 6 hours apart, and I do have another job). She did this twice. I waited for days. Why couldn't she just send the test as an attachment to download like NORMAL companies would?????
I finally emailed the company and told them how unprofessional they were, particularly Melissa, and that they actually did me a favor.
Also contact United Way
We were in a similar, very difficult situation a few years back. In desperation I called the United Way and they matched my family up with a company in our area that went out and shopped for my 4 kids. They bought everything on the list and even wrapped the gifts before delivering them. They left an envelope for me and my hubby with a $100 bill, a gift certificate for a Honey Baked ham and a grocery gift card. When I did my Christmas shopping at the store, they scanned the gift card - it was for $100! I started crying right in the store. I will never forget those angels on earth who saved Christmas for my kids and saved my faith in humanity. And, by the way, it is not too late! I didn't know help was available to people in trouble, so didn't call until 5 days before Christmas! They did all of this for us in just 5 days! Tell your friend there are many who have been where she is right now and she will get through it. There are many, many wonderful agencies and people who will help you, she just has to ask. I pray that your friend will get the help she needs.

Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas. The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY! We are already experiencing food supply shortages. Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY! Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses. PRAY! For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them. The worst is yet to come. PRAY! There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people. PRAY! Also, help any way you can. If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters.
All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.
Who is FREEDOMTYPE and are the in the United States? Thanks for any info.
Call United Way in your area. Dial
Ask for referral for whatever it is you need help with, i.e. electric bill, mortgage, etc. You absolutely cannot apply for unemployment as an IC. You may also consider applying for emergency public assistance by contacting the department of human resources in your county.

United Health Care medical insurance
 Well, I am about to use my vision coverage insurance for United Health Care. Eye Exam 2000 said they only covered 15-20% of the exam, 20% of cost of lens/glasses. I have never heard of such a low amount covered. I guess I have the wrong plan. Anyone else disappointed with United Health Care benefits besides me? I work for a large national.
Thanks. I guess I am hoping someone will tell me I am wrong and that 80% of the bill is covered. That this is all a mistake.
Signed,
Squinting
Call United way. Dial 2-1-1 from a landline phone
or you can Google united way '_________'. fill in the blank with the name of your city. You can search their database online as well. There is help out there for you.
MTStars is following the same directions that has been asked by the President of the United States.

I wasn't offered 8-1/2 cpl w/United out of So.Carolina - much lower. TransTech and DSG

I used this with United of No.Carolina. It seemed kind of slow and archaic. Didn't use the Sted&

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
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.

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.

SPI Healthcare
Has anyone worked for SPI Healthcare Documentation? If so any type of feedback would be extremely helpful.

They outsource to the Phillippines - they took over a small company in my hometown and basically destroyed it. Other than that, I don't know a lot, since I quit before the takeover.

Nice company to work for. I have no complaints at all.
Healthcare........
When healthcare becomes govt controlled, as in Canada, there is no incentive for people to want to become doctors; therefore, you end up with a doctor shortage, a severe shortage, and thus, longer waiting times... weeks,weeks, and months and months... just for a regular procedure. You better be dying if you want it sooner and then I wouldn't hold my breath.
That is what Obama wants to do to this country, only he tries to disguise it. ANyone with half a brain knows if the govt offers "cheaper" insurance, why in the world would anyone want to pay more? Companies will stop offering insurance to their employees cause they know the "almight government" will give it to them for free.... Obama knows this too!!! And when they do, you have NO incentive for physicians because they will not make money, extremely loaded down with patients....underpaid, overworked, less and less in the profession, and then WE, the citizens of a country where the private sector is supposed to run our country, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, will be another Canada or European country....take your pick!
It's pretty sad when European countries are telling the Obama administration NOT to go down this path... they have socialized medicine, it AIN'T working, and now they are looking are ways to get it back to private insurers.... too bad Obama's ego won't listen!!!
He's gonna save us from ourselves you know!!
