Health Care Benefits -- HA!

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 ...

As June is approaching us, I suggest that anyone who has health benefits appeal to upper management (I emailed Vern and got a decent reply) to please consider better benefits. They way they are now, if you are a single parent with young children, this plan could be catostrophic in a way worse than if you had no benefits or job to speak of. I am not single nor have young children but am currently in debt of over 2,000 to a health provider. I will probably still be paying it off when we use ...

Has anyone had to deal with the health benefits persons for MQ? I am now eligible for health insurance (3 months is up) and when I try to enroll, it tells me the time is up for the benefit plan and I cannot access the page to sign up. I called the health benefits number and spoke with someone. He told me I am locked out and he did not know why and told me he would call back. That was 4 hours ago. I also sent an email and no response. I have 3 days to sign up o ...

Know of any companies offering health benefits for PT transcriptionists? Even if the premium is paid by the employee? Group plans are supposed to be preferable to individual plans is my understanding. ...

I've been working for MModal for a few years but have yet to look into employee benefits. Could someone tell me what their health plan is like and what it takes to enroll? Thank you! ...

I have been offered a new job, aka escape route out of MModal. Everything about the new job makes me happy EXCEPT the high premiums for their insurance plans. Can we really believe the email from a couple days ago promising that our premiums for 2014 would stay the same as they were in 2013???? What's the catch? Is it an outright lie? ...

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! ...

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."

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). ...

...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. ...

... providing high quality care OR high-quality care. I did it one way and the dictating NP says it should be the other way. I have to do it her way but I would appreciate hearing from some fellow MT professionals. Thanks for any input. ...

I know this is a really stupid question but, what does acute care consist of? What types of reports are acute care? I understand that it is basically emergency type of care or short-term care, but exactly what types of reports would you be transcribing? TIA ...

Does anyone know of any companies that have benefits available for part-time, even at a cost? I love my full-time IC position, but no benefits. I would be willing to work a part-time position and pay for health coverage, even if a majority of my pay went to covering it. Thanks! ...
