Medquist Buyout of Spheris-Health Insurance? - Spheris MT For Now
Posted: Feb 04, 2010
I am a current employee of Spheris and was wondering what kind of health insurance does Medquist offer? If you could give details that would be great.

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
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 ...
Okay, everybody breathe! It will be okay. They didn't close the doors so we still have jobs. I know the posts are very negative about Medquist, but they have a lot of people working for them who stay working for them. There must be something positive about medquist. Does anyone have anything POSITIVE to say about Mediquist?

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? ...

Hey folks. Does anyone know of a group health insurance coverage I can get even with preexisting issues? My company doesn't offer it. I've thought of switching companies but all the other ones sound so awful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ...
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 ...
Does anyone know if my employer can force me to buy the company-sponsored insurance? I can't afford it any longer, so I want to drop it for the upcoming enrollment. Last year, there was a sheet that stated something like this: Opt out only with proof of coverage elsewhere and attach a copy of insurance card. ...
Could anyone tell me what they paid for health insurance in 2014 through Nuance for you and your spouse and also what you are paying in 2015?
Also, could someone tell me what they paid for the health insurance for 2014 and 2015 for just themselves?
I couldn't afford to take the insurance and I'm trying to figure out if it was more than 8% of my income so I can avoid paying the tax penalty. I don't think it was for just me, but I think with my husband added on it might h ...
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 ...
Can anybody tell me what kind of health insurance plan Transtech has? Is it HMO, PPO, . . or do they have different plans to choose from? I'm also very interested to know how much it is and how much the deductible would be. I'm 51 years old, so good health benefits is very important to me. Also, I would appreciate any feedback on abt other companies out there with great health insurance. Thank's! ...
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 want to take the plunge and try to find a different job but I want to keep my toe in the door here to see if I can find something better. However, I cannot afford to be without insurance. Can you get bennies working 32 hours a week? 24? ...
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 ...
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 ...
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to DROP the health insurance? I can't make ends meet so I wanted to know if I could drop it and have additional money in my check
