Are there any companies that have good health insurance and fairly cheap? sm - rwm


Posted: Feb 03, 2011

I go to the doctor a lot and have a lot of prescriptions, so I need a company that has good health insurance, and hopefully doesn't charge a lot for it.  I used to work at OSi and was thinking about going back there, but another poster on here said their insurance is $1000 a month for family!!!  Thanks for your help!     

There probably are, but most assuredly not in - the medical transcription field! nm

Not MT, but - Alice

I've noticed that there are some retail chain stores that offer medical benefits for employees, even if part-time. My experience is that my MT job is only good for part-time income, no benefits, so I'm trying to augment it with a part-time retail job. Just an option that I thought I'd share. I'm sure it wouldn't work for everyone.

Are There Any Good Quality Fairly Inexpensive Alternatives To ExpressScribe?
Sep 28, 2013

Was given some sample dictation to listen to and could play it on Google Chrome and it sounded very clear, but when I played it with Express Scribe (even using the special audio processes) it sounded a lot worse - more like in a tin can and a bit scratchy. For the "real" dictation, I'll have to use ExpressScribe or some other player. Thanks for the suggestions. ...

Health Insurance As An IC
Oct 21, 2010

I am considering becoming self employed (after a fashion) as an IC.  I have gone onto www.healthcare.gov and gone through the steps they advise when you want to take out private insurance.  Holy cow, the insurance plans offered varied in premium cost from $600 to $4000 per month for a family of 4, but the thing that got me was two items:  Maximum out of pocket for individual: 0$.  Annual deductible for individual: 0$.  Woohoo.  This just seems too good to be true.&n ...

HELP! Need Health Insurance
Jun 26, 2015

I've always had my own health insurance.  I didn't want to get stuck with whatever plan my employer happened to offer, and I didn't want to worry about losing my insurance if I changed jobs. But now the company I'm with is getting out of the insurance business, and I need to find new coverage.  The company I work for offers insurance, but like I said above, I don't want their plan.  And since they offer it, I'm not eligible for ACA (and I don't ...

With this new healthcare reform, does this mean that outsourcing companies are going to have to provide health insurance to MTs?  Even though you may be an independent contractor, you still work for the company.  With these oursourcing companies, I sure hope they will be required to offer health insurance, even if they MTs dont or cannot meet the line requirements.  This should be a very interesting concept to know about when the healthcare reform is in place!  I always thoug ...

To those of you who desperately need insurance now, here is a great place to look for temporary insurance.  If you eventually find out that COBRA is not going to happen or LM jerks you around so long you miss the deadline, you can still qualify for Uninsurable Risk insurance depending on the State you live in.  Some of these plans may even be cheaper than COBRA, which is something you might want to look into.   It is definitely worth your time to check this out instead of just wa ...


I Can't Qualify For Health Insurance With A VR Job
May 03, 2011

This is my first VR job. I cannot make enough lines to qualify for health insurance on it. This is the first time I have ever had this problem. I could easily exceed my line count with a straight typing job. The only way I could meet line count now is if I blaze through the jobs without proofreading and put out bad-quality jobs. I wouldn't even be able to get up to stretch my legs ever. I'd have to cut my lunch down to 30 minutes. And even then I'd be about 1000 to ...

I just recently got MQ health insurance.  I was wondering how it works since it is just a HSA and not a PPO or HMO.  Do I bring my card with me and they swipe it and the payment comes directly from the insurance or do I pay and get a receipt and then have to submit the receipt with paperwork to United Healthcare for reimbursement?  I have never used an insurance like this, if you can can it that.  Thank you. ...


Nuance Health Insurance

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have heard this insurance plan (BC/BS?) does not cover primary care office visits until you reach a 2500 dollar deductible, no copay anymore, paying for the whole visit??  I thought all insurance companies had us pay a copay, not the whole cost of the office visit.  What about prescriptions, do we pay the full price for them now too, or is it still about a 15 dollar copay?  I am left wondering how they got this kind of insuranc ...
