Workman's Comp

In Reply to: IC Workers Comp Ins. Required? - shannon long
The company I work for also was audited and they require their IC MTs to have Workman's Comp insurance. Mine costs around $400.00. I really like this company, so I bought the insurance. It is really ridiculous because you have no employees and I had to exclude myself from the insurance policy as well.

worker's comp
Yes you get seen, tell the Doctor/hospital it is a worker's compensation case, they send the bill to the boss, but sometimes the bosses don't like the fact that their premiums may go up because of cases filed against them. This happened to my son, boss made him feel it was his fault for getting hurt on the job, cried about it, then changed his mind and my son told them at the hospital he got hurt on the job but the boss still has not signed the paperwork, so it is now in collection agency and have to straighten out the bill for x-rays and being seen in the ER. My son broke a finger in his left hand, no big deal, but his boss sure made him feel guilty about filing a claim. My son does not work for this company anymore which is a good thing. Of course giving your husband 100.00 is sure way of telling that something is wrong with his boss, maybe too many claims or maybe he is just afraid his premium will go up.
Workers' comp for IC? Where to get?
I am an IC and have just been told I need to have WC Insurance. Where do I get it? Thanks for your help. suzq
Any MTs out there w/Workers' Comp. (sm)
eval transcription experience in Ortho, Neurology and/or Neurosurgery? How many years' experience do you have, and for which state? I'm wondering if it's a hard transition for someone with non-Workers' Comp Rad experience to transition to Ortho, etc. in WC.
worker's comp
Do not quote me on this, but to my understanding if you are an actual employee and they take taxes out, then yes, worker's comp should cover. If you are an independent contractor, then no.
I was a workers' comp historian in a
hand surgeon's office for two years. He and the hand therapist always said that regular breaks from the keyboard were important to prevent overuse injuries. I saw many cases of permanent disability in computer users who overdid it, and it's not worth it.
Workers' comp can be interesting
depending on the doctor's speciality, but you could get bored very quickly if it's orthopedics. However, you'll never know if they don't send you any work. I would start looking again. Good luck.
copying macros to other comp
this is for MS word. copy normal.dot both from template folder and office folder and paste it to new computer at the same respective places, i.e. copied from template would be pasted to template folder of new computer and so on.
not eligible for worker's comp
unless you are an employee. ICs are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment. ICs are expected to carry their own private disability - like AFLAC, etc. - like we can afford that.
Hate to be a downer, just didn't want you to get your hopes up on that one. Sorry to hear about your wrist. Not a good way to start the year. I would check with local assistance office.
IC Workers Comp Ins. Required?
thought i posted this earlier, cant find it, sorry if its redundant. Im an IC, have been for 8+ years with the same company in MASS. I live in WV. I was contacted last week and was told that the company had been audited and all IC's were required to have Workers Comp insurance. the policy costs $655 a year. anyone have this same requirement? I have other insurance, Aetna major medical, additional accidental death and dismemberment, long-term disability through my husband's employer, AEP. So, is it necessary for me to carry comp ins?
Workers' comp insurance for IC
Does anyone know if there is a law in NY state that you have to have Workers' comp insurance as an IC? I was told by one company that you do and they will not hire me until I have the insurance, but I also saw on this website
Thanks
Worker's Comp Reports
Hi everyone...I just started typing worker's compensation reports (initials, fu,supps) as well as EMG/NCV reports and PI. What is the charge in the industry? I am hearing anywhere from $7.00/page to 1.35 per audio minute. Most reports are from 7 minutes to 15 minutes so per the inute does not seem right. Anyone out there type medical/legal reports??
Thanks :)
Yeah, comp time!
I used to deliberately work in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep because it was an extra $2 per hour plus production incentive. Those were the days. We also got quarterly bonuses if the hospital transcription stayed within TAT and accuracy was 98% or better.
It's Workers' Comp - they changed it about five years ago, maybe more nm
:
I use a wireless router and use 3 comp on mine

Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
Lots of psych, comp & pen reports, sm
Urology, domiciliary notes, general surgery, clinic notes, etc. I didn't think it was too bad at all. I liked the long comp & pen notes myself. The psych ones in particular would be 20-30 minutes of dictation on average for me. Some days I'd get slugged with them, but I certainly didn't get them daily.
Thanks..school wont give another copy since I am graduated now...also went to a whole new comp, sm
not just an upgrade. Could not pull the free program off the old one. thanks anyway. Just looking to get by on something inexpensive until I get some $$$ coming in.
I use Oriental Trading Comp. too, but I am crunched for time since other mom backed out on me! Thank

Yes, it's Independent Medical which are normally work comp related and Looooooong...
but very interesting.
Collision or comp doesn't matter. I called my insurance company
when I was hit by someone. I only had liability but their adjuster made sure I got the best deal out of it. My rates didn't go up either.
