Haven't you all noticed how our health care bills have gone down since

tell me how that works? I know the insurance premiums are less than a regular health plan. If your company puts 500 in your account, does that mean the first few times, for example, until you use up the 500, you don't pay ANYTHING or is it the opposite...you pay the entire office visit cost until you reach that 500? I would be so grateful for any information about this type of plan. TIA ...

I pay very little attention to what Washington does, but I have to wonder if this new health care reform that dear old Obama has finally pushed through is going to affect our jobs and pay rate. My husband gets good insurance through UPS, and he says that it will make his insurance less because according to this bill, everyone gets the same coverage. At least that's how he explained it. So is this going to cost doctors and hospitals money, and if it does, is that going to make t ...

Has anyone worked or works for Ascend Health Care. Our local hospital just entered into a three year contract with them with an anticipated 52 million lines for the life of the contract. I had applied at the hospital but they were not hiring and i guess that was the reason why. ...

I'm going back to school to get out of transcription. I currently do QA. I have a 2-year degree in health information technology and am trying to figure out whether to go get a Bachelor's in information technology and health informatics or go for a business degree with a healthcare management emphasis. I know electronic records are taking over and health informatics is a growing field. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know with IT I'd need to keep up a bunch of certificat ...

With the new health care laws in the next 2 years, will IC become obsolete? Won't these transcription companies be forced to provide health benefits and forced to have employees? Or will they still be allowed to just hire us as IC's? ...

Anyone have info on this company? I couldl sure use some input good or bad. Thanks so much! ...

First I had to switch from Kaiser last year and now the new doctor I found with United Healthcare is OUT OF NETWORK and the new and only coverage sucks. I guess it is time to go. Any good company's out there with decent insurance? This is pitiful. ...

Has "Obama care" gone into effect??? I am part time. Does the company have to offer me health insurance that I pay for?? anyone up on this??? ...

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. 10/16/2013: Paraphrasing: Keep employee premiums, plan and deductibles the same, except the spousal charge (didn't say would keep same company - stupid me for assuming so). 10/29/2013: Pharaphrasing: New healthcare administrator which consolidates...supposedly everything our previous plan had.... premiums, deductibles, etc., to remain same (then why change it, and will the coverage still b ...

Has anyone who was hired on at Ascend/Portal Health Care LLC during the last hiring received their payment for Phase I? I am beyond outraged right now; just told that I will have to wait until after the 15th for my first payment to be processed b/c processing ended on March 20th despite repeated emails being sent out by payroll stating that submission after the 20th wouldn't affect the schedule of payment. Not to mention, I submitted my invoice twice and asked for re ...

I.e., how will Medquist use the new bill to their benefit? ...

Moderate, please don't move this to offshore board. It needs to be seen by more people. Exerpt: "The new law imposes limits on outsourcing by American insurance companies and medical service providers. In addition, several categories of data are prohibited from flowing offshore. As a result, many Indian outsourcing firms have begun setting up shop in the United States. America’s outsourcers are now outsourcing back to America."

I am just wondering how it is assumed that the Obama Health Care Bill will affect the medical transcription profession. ...

New job figures out today: Health care continued to add jobs in December (+23,000); employment in hospitals increased by 10,000. Over the year, health care employment has risen by 315,000. Any increase in health care employment is good for MTs. ...

I got an email a few days ago plainly stating that my employer would not be offering health insurance to its employees, and also providing specific information regarding how I could access the "marketplace" for insurance. Anybody else? 3 days till October 1st, lol! ...

I am looking into what field of study to take up. I am thinking about staying in Health Care and am especially interested in home health care. I was wondering if anyone knows personally if there are demands for: Physical Therapist assistant - with Associated degree Occupational assistant- with Associates degree Has anyone heard of Speech/language pathologist assistant? I think this will require too much schooling but I have heard there is a big demand in health care and schools. I al ...

Thought the suits might be interested to see "comparable wages" in my neck of the woods. Preferred familiarity with medical terminology. Demonstrates courtesy, attitude, respect and enthusiasm (C.A.R.E.) in all interactions.... $11.72 - $13.46 an hour Owing to disability and not being able to dig my car out of the driveway every day in winter, I cannot even apply for this. Boy, sure would be nice to earn a living like this on a daily, steady, hourly basis (working with nice people every day). ...

Just wondering. If you don't mind my asking... I'm thinking about working from home again, but last time I did this I didn't make any money at it. That was when I only had 2 years' experience though. I have 6 now. This time around I HAVE to make a certain amount to pay my bills! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

So this last place I started working said "these are old accounts that are not going anywhere." Hmm, so why did I get an email last night saying they were keeping all work inhouse? I am so sick and tired of worrying about money. The really sad part is I have already applied everywhere and no one will hire me (Wal-Mart, McDonald's). Just so tired of it all. I wish someone wrote a book and entitled it How to be Homeless because that is what I am going to be. ...

The idea of class action lawsuits is to get their $500 an hour attorneys looking at mounds of info. You only get attention dipping your hand into their pockets, deep at that. They will take attention then. It is a very valid claim. ...

Saw this on another blog, thought immediately of the implications as it relates to hardworking MTs and the repeated pay cuts we have taken in this industry. Read and weep! www.livescience.com/19727-price-happiness-survey.html ...

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

..well, I'm really close to finishing. It seems as though, based off things said here, I've made a bad decision. Oh well, I'm almost done, so I mine as well finish and sit for the RMT exam. I actually am applying to school for respiratory therapy. Any newbie's have anything positive to say about their experiences getting started as an MT? I hate to have a negative attitude, that's really not how I am, but sometimes you have to be realistic. I'll still apply to MT jo ...

Hi everyone I feel like I just have to vent a little. Hope that's okay. I've been a transcriptionist for a long time (17 years) but I am beginning to believe that I must really stink !! I had applied to Transtech and Transolutions and haven't heard a word. I am thinking it's me. I currently work nights from home and I swear I have not heard dictators like the ones I have been getting, all ESL and I can barely tell what they are talki ...

report in over 2 hours. I'm thankful this is not my family's main source of income but I do need what I used to make. As I said before, I am collecting partial SUI for times like these but really guys, how can we remain employed by a company who does not give us work???? I'm sorry once again for venting. ...
