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.

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.
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.
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.
I bet other insurance carriers have insurance for their employees. Why not Wal-Mart? nm

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.
Yes, came from hosp. If was co. policy, they

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
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.
Ex-HR'r
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..

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.
From my experience, they only offer a policy that pays...
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!
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

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?
MT programs
The top 3 MT programs are Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step. Have not read any complaints about Andrews or M-TEC. Graduates from those two schools have a much better chance of getting hired at home without 2 years of experience.
MT programs
I found a new company online called MT2B. It appears that if you successfully complete their school they will offer you a job at their company. Some of the MT courses out there are hard to follow and do not teach you all that you need to know when you first begin job hunting. I know this from tutoring and mentoring new MTs for the past 9 years. This school seems to teach in a more hands on manner from what I understand. Might want to give them a try. I found them at www.MT2b.com.
This jobs does have a lot of ups and downs. I have been in this business for 12 years and I wouldnt trade it for anything. It has allowed me to take care of my son who has health problems and be at home. I have made good money and not so much money. I see it as...it has its problems just like any other job at home or not at home. Just have to hang in there and find the place of employment that fits you best as an individual. There are still some good companies out there. Just have to find them.
Good luck to you
FAX PROGRAMS
I use the Winfax program. Works great. You fax reports right from your computerr rather than printing and then faxing. Saves time, paper, and ink. Receive faxes directly to your computer as well which can be sent to your printer.
the programs
Are set up in such a way, that they know who their star players are, who their B players are, and who are the problem children. Sounds like he just wanted to buy a new boat and didn't want to have to get a loan first.
programs? SM please
Hi
I have work to transcribe and I can't find any programs that work well to do it. Instead I am listening to the same sentences over and over at least 40 times, miss a word and can't go back, try to and you go back to zero, lose a half hour listening to what I already had, etc.
Please tell me if you know any good programs. Working with MS Media Player and F4, typing in Wordpad. THANKS
VR programs
What VR programs are the best to use for the most productivity?
Are there free FTP programs?
Are there free FTP programs?
TIA
Lost programs.
I bought a new computer and was going to let my daughter use my old one for a project she had going. She deleted all my transcription programs. Later, her project fell through and I needed the computer to use in my home office. I was able to do a system restore, even after several weeks, and get almost all my stuff back. For some reason, Stedman's spell check did not come back up, so I do not know what happened there, but everything else was there.
productivity programs
Our company is currently using Winscribe dictation system, but they did not buy the transcription side of this, which creates a database and templates and saves the work to a file.
I am looking for productivity program that works the same way that is reasonable. ADS may be one but I have no feedback on this.
Any suggestions.
encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not. Are they easy to load, setup, etc. And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
encryption programs
Can anyone tell me of a good encryption program to use with WAV pedal program?
12 step programs, which above are
referring to, are all based on God, a higher power - surrendering to that higher power, and then healing following the 12 steps. Leaving religion out of recovery is rather contradictory!
exercise programs (sm)
For about three years, I had suffered with severe asthma and allergies. I could not ever get any of it under control. I had to take a lot of steroids during that time and everytime I tried to get in an exercise routine it would just exacerbate my symptoms. It turned out we had a black mold problem. I was the only one with symptoms though.
We moved though and now I am in total recovery. My asthma is completely under control. I might only take it now once or twice a month, if at all (used to take it 4-6 times a day). Doctors say I may always have it now.
I have put on a significant amount of though and really would like to get it off. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I eat very well and I am maintaining my current weight. I just do not get the exercise I need.
I was really active into Taebo before all of this began, but I don't feel like I can just jump back into that right away. I need something that would slowly work me back into shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
