In Reply to: You can use AT&T for long distance - anon
the $50-60/month, could you share it w/me? MCI has nothing to offer. Their business 'plan' is pay per minute, 5 cpm. No thanks. I just want to know what exactly to ask AT&T for. Thank you again!

Compared the price offered by Cobra with a local BC or Regence Blue Shield plan. Chances are..
If you have a lot of medical issues your preminum wont be pretty but if it's temporary go with an extremely high deductible if you can. I have one that is $7500 deductible but has a $25 office visit copay and prescription coverage so it helps me since I just go to the doctor. Now, if you needed surgery or something that would be different.
AT&T business plan cost sm
Offhand, does anyone know what a business plan for AT&T costs that includes long distance? Just curious. TIA
you don't have to buy the business plan either - at least I didn't... nm

I just switched to unlimited business plan
in order to get their LD plan, I had to get their Complete Choice business phone line. Since I already had Ultra DSL internet, with all of these bundled, the cost is $140 a month (phone, unlimited LD and 2 DSL connectors). When I compared it to my residential plan with my 2 DSL connections, it was only $57 a month more so I felt it was a good deal.
If you are on your dictation system 40 hours a week for 4 weeks per month, that is 9600 minutes a month at $57 and average $0.005 per minute, much better than a phone card and no getting in trouble with your residential unlimited LD plan (they will flag you when you hit 5000 minutes a month).
AT&T *business* long distance plan sm
I have an AT&T business long distance plan offering me unlimited long distance. I pay about $70 a month. I have a one-year term plan that I just renewed at this rate, and they are well aware of how much I use and are totally fine with it.
I had a residential plan with another company for a little while, but they pulled the plug on me because I was using it for biz purposes.
Call the business division of LD companies in your area, and you may be surprised at the rates you can find these days. It's a very competitive market.
Ah, on the main site. Rather an abrupt U-turn. Guess the business plan just

You're confusing the new QA plan with the new pay plan. New pay plan is still completely under wr
Shhhhhhhhhhh....
Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
I am talking about the QA plan I dont know what the new pay plan is.

Unfortunately it is legal..so yes it is business and they will continue with bad business practices

I made my business your business by posting and...
I totally respect everyone's opinions. It is easier for others on the outside looking in. That's why I pushed the "post reply" button yesterday. I trust my fellow MTs and I know the more I read from you all, the more confident I am becoming. I just need that final push, not from him though. I also wanted to let you all know that the physical abuse while I was pregnant was documented by my doctor and the hospital. I only wish I had known then that it is a felony to abuse a pregnant woman. I also photographed my face from a couple of weeks ago and told several people in my circle. I had such high hopes for us. Now...not so much. I'm not saying that I won't try to get him to church, but I realize that God can only do so much for someone who isn't listening. j
Business is business. Internet forums are

For a business ad?! A business that deals
''Transcriptsis'' x2
''with good track record''
''serve our clients of all sizes'' (I know what they mean, but I just think the wording is funny)
''strive to achieve highest possible quality'' (once again, they never met an 'article' that they didn't hate)
''all departments including H&P...'' (or a comma, for that matter)
I was offered a job at MQ,
as a newbie, is that a good place to start out?
It is too low. I was offered .075 for 10 yrs exp
Needless to say, I turned them down and am glad I did!! Getting 10 now!
Offered 6 for IC
Offered 6 for IC, but am currently working for 8 through service. You sent me something on the company??
I currently get 10 cpl and have been offered 1 other
positions in the past for 10 cpl. My current position is as employee with benefits. The other position was as an IC with WebMedex at 10 cpl and 11 cpl over 6,000 lines/week. With most other companies 8 cpl seems to be the "norm", though there are always exceptions, with plenty of companies paying less than that and a few paying more.
Offered me same.
,
offered one for 5 cpl
Before I got hired on at MQ I was offered a job for 5 cpl with quarterly raises if my productivity was up to par, I had to provide all resources, all computer equipment, own footpedal and headphones, WordPerfect, and the list went on and on - for a prn IC job! The lady made it sound like it was the best thing around and I thought that was pretty funny
Anyone else offered job, then...
the company never followed through? Told Friday would be sent job offer with tenative start date, then nothing. Emailed recruiter twice with confirmation that the email was read this morning on the second email and still nothing. Strange or not? I would think if they changed their mind, they would at least have the decency to reply to my emails.
I was just offered a job IC for
6 to 7 CPL. I have over 20 years' experience. What a joke. You have to pay your own taxes, no benefits, supply all your own equipment, etc. Might as well move to India at this rate.
it's almost always offered and
I do it every week because I need the money. I've done it for years. I also have another job. I'm tired.
New MQ QA? New MQ pay? I just got offered IC in SW region? Please tell me more. nm
..
In OR I made $16.50/hr, in NE I was offered $11.30.

Webmedx offered me 10 cpl
They require at least 1000 lines per week. Incentive of 11 cpl over a certain amount of lines per week. This was for their highest level (3). I think they have a lot of ESL though.
It's offered in Los Angeles. nm

I have already offered some solid
and I am not going to argue with you.
That was not my figure - they offered it and I took it. nm

I have been offered a position yet...sm
But I have an interview with them this week. Not sure what I'll do either, especially given the time clock. That's a real issue for me. I have a baby at home and can't imaging trying to clock in and out every time he starts to fuss.
I also sent a resume to Medware too, just to cover my bases, but I just sent it this weekend and haven't heard anything yet.
As for you not hearing back from FN last week after sending a resume to them, I seriously doubt they are hiring right now given they recently overhired and the workflow is so low. Thus the reason I've been floating resumes all week. LOL!!!
Right. You are offered their trash, but not $1K.
They're willing to help you as long as you lower yourself. Just pure head games. And some parents would love to see their kids homeless for a chuckle. Makes no sense to me - mine were the same. They were so jealous that my husband and I stuck it out and made our marriage work, are still in love after 30+ years with great kids. When we ran into 1 bump in the road and needed a tad of help, they sat and laughed in our faces, even their innocent grandkids. You just never know what goes in some peoples' minds. Only count on yourself and God, literally. I'm here for you!! 
Just offered an IC position at 7 cpl, lol....
Could be worse, I saw one advertise at 6 cpl
Thanks to everyone who has offered me their opinions.
It appears that the majority feels that it would be best for me to stay with my family as jobs will come and go but my time with my kids will not come and go; once they are grown they are grown and I wouldn't be able to get that time back with them. I am considering hanging on with this home job for as long as I can and then when the time is right maybe I will be able to get a job in the hospital during a day shift instead of the late afternoon shift.
Thanks everyone for listening to me and spending your time helping me.
I know of svl newbies who get offered what I get now with 13+ yrs in!! Sad..and

I've offered this before.
I'm telling you that what I'm finding are those problems as listed above. There are too many people who are in this business for the wrong reasons, either so they can stay at home or because they think they're going to get rich with minimal effort. Many comments on this board are disparaging toward anyone who is "on the other side", which is what I become when I try to hire help for vacations.
Simply put, the quality of the majority of the workers out there is not as good as it could be. You probably are the exception but I just haven't come across you yet. As far as having a pool of help, I would love to have that (what a luxury that would be!). I'm not unfair or unreasonable but I just can't seem to find the quality that you have been as fortunate to find.
Doctor offered me more...
I have been working on getting a very large group set up for digital. The Medical Director called me yesterday and asked what my cpl rate was. I told him it was 11 and he said, "How about 13?" I was like WHAT?? --that's the first time that has ever happened. Needless to say, I told him that would be fine by me I am just used to drs trying go get me to cut my rate back
I was offered 2.5 cpl for editscript VR....sm
I have a year exp. I think it is kind of low. Said they give raises after 6 months if satisfactory. I need the job so bad I think I may have to take it. I have a part time already but not enough work. I need something to work on when no work in my other job. I can not get a job anywhere else because everyone wants 2 years exp.
Been offered a job locally....sm
the pay is 0.06/line and includes all characters, spaces etc. Says that this amounts to about 0.09/line in the end ??
Is this something offered by your company
or did you ask for it?
There's a woman who offered to help me
and she works for Escription. She said IT DEFINITELY works with EditScript v8 (but I don't know about previous versions). She offered to get me up and runnign after the place I was working for said it wasn't compatible, but I left so never bothered to figure out. Sorry I'm not more helpful, but at least you know it should work!
What office were you offered 9.5? The one I work in does NOT go over 8.
I am the only MT on the account I am doing and the client REFUSES to have anyone else do it..i figure leverage, but they still wont pay more than 8 NO SPACES. I never have blanks, never mess up at all, work ALLLLL the time. Where or where did you get 9.5?
I was offered a position with them a couple of
months ago. I don't remember much about what they offered, but the pay wasn't very good. I have 20 years' experience and what they offered me was an insult.
the worst incentive I got offered
Yes, yes... some incentive is better than none offered (to anyone who is ready to say, "At least you get one!"), but the worst incentive I was ever offered was when I worked for HealthScribe years back and they offered a 1/4 cent on lines typed for a certain day. Doing 1000 lines, that worked out to $2.50 tagged onto my regular rate. That wasn't even worth thinking about let alone spoiling my weekend for.
they offered me 1.5 cents per line
thanks but no thanks.
it's rarely offered anymore, thanks to the
AAMT. They started the whole problem, and then they bailed out after everybody decided it was the most honest method to determine what a "real line" was.
But there's still a way to break even. Go to this web site: http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html
Figure out what you want to bill for gross lines. That would be under the 45 cpl column (trust me on this ... I did stats for years when I was billing for gross lines). Compare it to what you would get paid if you billed for a 65-char line and that's what you want to be paid.
IOW, if you want to make 9 cpl for gross lines, under the 45 line length column it would be $200. Go over to the 65-char line and see how close you can match things up. It's 13 cpl = $200.00. That's what you want to make the same amount.
Offered $5.50/1000 words??
Thank you in advance to anyone. I'm not sure if this is good or not.
I basically was offered a position..
She said I did excellent on the test. She asked to let them know how many minutes I would want, FT or PT, which I did, and haven't heard a thing since.
I'm offered a new accout using MP3 player.....
The provider is using the player with his curernt MT. The parent company wants me to assume his account. I've asked what method he is using currently to get his dictation to the MT to see what I need on my end. I already have a Bytescribe wave player that plays MP3s, so that is not a problem. What other software can be used to get the dictation from him to me and still fall within HIPAA guidelines?
With average pay offered still around 8 cpl, she's lucky to be getting 9 cpl, as are

ALL TYPE - OFFERED POSITION
Hello - I posted a week or so ago - never heard anything back. Does anyone have information, good or bad, about ALL TYPE ??? 
Please, I'd like to know more as I am thinking of taking this position. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All 
No, it was United that offered lower than 8 cpl. nm

Just got offered a 3rd shift position and
because of the time difference they told me I could work 2 hours earlier. I have also seen ads posted stating that if you are on different coasts you could have some flexibility in the hours you work. It isn't your local time that they go by, it is their local time or the clients.
