Short-term disability - mmmt

[ In Reply To ..]
MModal does provide both short-term and long-term disability for MTs (I am full-time), at no charge. Had it last year with United and this year it is included on Cigna.

You are correct. We MTs are eligible for - sm

short-term and long-term disability at no charge at 50%, you can get more if you want to pay for it.

Thanks for this info. Do I request paperwork from HDSM and - have doctor fill out?

I had surgery and was eligible. What I did... - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I contacted my supervisor and let her know. I then contacted the insurance company directly. With last year's insurance, it was The Hartford who covered this. They started the proper procedure, paperwork, and contacted the doctor. You then have to wait to see if you're approved.

I am in a similar position -- surgery upcoming. My mgr told me to contact Benefits who will tell me to contact Cigna. I sent Benefits an email last night but haven't heard yet. Don't really feel like calling them and dealing with crap.

OMG How Funny - Read Glassdoor Opinion Of Employees, US Versus Indian Employees!
Aug 05, 2013

I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor.  You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars.  Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India.  What a difference.  They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years.  The US transcriptionists are very sad!!  What a difference..... ...

A prime example of that is when I work every holiday for time and 1/2, but low and behold, there is mysteriously no work in the system.  Because they press a button and send it all overseas for some poor sap to do for 5 cents a day, instead of paying me time and 1/2.  There is no appreciation for the MT and our expertise anymore.  Used to at least get an Xmas card, not even that anymore.... :(   Save Yourself! ...

MM - Corporate/American Greed

All that matters to companies nowadays is how much money they can make for their stockholders and for their yearly bonuses.  They dont care about the American worker anymore.  In India, when they want to fire you, they have to take into account the family you are taking care of, will you be able to get another job.  America?  They will throw you out on the street without a notice and not give a darn. In my town, the main hospital wants to let Chinese women come over to Ameri ...
