Another Spheris MT Curious About Health Insurance at Medquist - OHMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Please advise. At Spheris we have a $3000.00 deductible if you are single. Spheris gives us $500.00 toward the deductible. I keep wondering if I should use mine up now while I still have it. We also get a discount on our premium if we participate in a health program each year (if you score high enough). We have a vision plan and Delta Dental.

I am sure a lot of Spheris people are curious about Medquist's benefits.

Medquist also has a $3000 deductible and there is a $1000 HRA through United Healthcare. They have a vision plan that used to be free but now you have to pay for it but I can't remember what the name of the company is. The dental is through either Aetna or MetLife.

One thing you need to know about MQ health insurance - - dnr

If you don't "make enough money for MQ" (i.e. meet the minimum line count - 150 lines/hour) they will stop paying their part and you will either end up on Cobra or without (if you don't do Cobra) until next enrollment.

You have to do 150 lines/hour to qualify. nm - Anon

Do they still have an option for Kaiser HMO too? - nm

My friend said that she had Kaiser HMO at MQ, but that was quite a while ago, so I'm not sure if they still offer that or not.

Yes, they have Kaiser. - dnr

Medquist Health Insurance Info?
Jun 28, 2010

Can anyone tell me about MedQuist's health insurance (for just me - I live in North Carolina)?  I am afraid there is a hysterectomy in my future and I am really wondering how high the deductibles are and how much they pay after you've met them.  I'd be eligible in August, I think.  So, someone ease my mind that it's better than the private policy I have right now where I pay $230 a month for a $3, 500 deductible with $3, 500 coinsurance and they pay 50% of sur ...

Spheris - Another Medquist
Jan 30, 2010

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday.  It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential?  And better insurance too.  Okay. I worked for MQ.  My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything).  So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...

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 ...

New Health Insurance Reform

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 ...

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 ...
