if u didn't have insurance prior to working there, you have preexisting condition waiting period restrictions.

I didn't read over the insurance stuff too well - wannie

since all I took was the disability and life insurance. What I don't like is that they offer long term disability but no short term. I don't understand that. I wasn't real impressed with what their insurance had to offer anyway. Thankfully, I am covered on my husband's policy. I'm really sorry about the changes they made. It's never fun to have changes come after the fact.

thanks for listening ... - disgusted

That's pretty much an industry standard. - MT/Medical Biller

Having been an employee and also having work on the insurance side, the preexisting clauses are pretty standard. The only places I have worked where there were no preexisting waiting periods was when I worked for hospitals. Other than that, if you have no coverage with a gap of over 63 days, the preexisting will kick in. Did etransplus raise their rates at all? That's pretty normal to. I hate that. Every years the preminums go higher and higher.

I've accepted a position with this company and will start the training process on Tuesday.

Is it hard to reach the 1200-line daily goal?4. How is QA? And anything else you can think of that you feel would help. Either post here or email me would be fine. Thanks in ...

Does anyone have a problem with the eTransPlus server? I find that it is very slow in responding to what I type while in the portal. I've always had a problem, but it seems a lot worse this week.

Is there enough work during 3rd shift? Is the platform easy to use and easy to get your lines in with? How is the health insurance? I saw the premiums for the different levels but didn't see what type of coverage this is (deductible, copays, etc.). I'm a bit worried that your benefits hinge on getting your required lines in each pay period. I can see where this would be a problem if there was a shortage of work (the situation at my current job). Any thoughts would be appreci ...

Interested to know how eTransPlus is going for Snow Bunny. She has been on this board for years...if in fact it is the same person. She was always helping with words and such. Intrested to see if this is a good or bad company and what she thinks. It will take time though to see. Even if good, eventually greed takes over for all these companies. Plus they all seem to have their favorites who cherry pick, so if you come on board, you have to work your way up the cherr ...
