Concern over supplemental Insurance deadlines !! - AnnieOakley

Posted: Aug 28, 2012

This is what I understand to be true: If we had supplemental insurance through Alpha Staff, such as Critical Accident, Cancer Insurance, Short Term Disability, etc., the expiration of this coverages ends this Friday, August 31. I have spoken with Colonial , the company we are supposed to call to discuss new coverage, this morning. They told me they are waiting on "something" from our company before they can give quotes or put us in the system individually. It sounds like if we get a call on Friday with the rates, we will not have time to shop it. I don't get it. Getting down to the wire. Has anyone else addressed this or found out anything else?

Have you emailed and called every suit? Nobody here can do - anything about this. Email/call management. nm

I thought the supplemental, etc., (all but medical which is going to BC/BS of MA), had an end date of 12/31/2012. The medical changes on 09/01/2012. Check with HR on this. If I am wrong, then ARRRGGGGGGHHHHH, I can't decide this quick.

This is all very confusing, as usual with this company. sm - anon

I thought only medical insurance coverage had to be chosen now and that the supplemental coverages would have another open enrollment in the fall. Have had much trouble during open enrollments with this company. Thoroughly disgusted with both Nuance and AlphaStaff and how they handle so-called benefits.

I called them today and I am still insured with them. So, unless this is an error on the person I talked to, my next paycheck will have deductions for that insurance in addition to the deductions for the new 2013 Nuance insurances which are through other vendors. Does anyone know about this? Our policies with Colonial should have been cancelled by Nuance. ...

I have been trying to get a MT job since September. I have thirty years of experience. A company called me last week because they were looking for a seasoned radiology transcriptionist. They saw my resume on a board from 2010. Anyway I interviewed and was ready to take the test tomorrow and I just got an email saying one of their MTs want to increase their hours so I won't be needed anymore. They did not know this in advance. ...

Can someone please help me. I am new to the company, I have not been here 90 days yet. my TSM is "gone" so I have a new one now and have not yet spoken with her. I am very concerned because I realized that my "contracted" rate of 4 and 9 cpl at 150 lph does NOT meet my state minimum wage, I rarely get straight typing to get the 9 cpl. I also am not meeting the 150 lph yet, even so that is only like 6$ an hour, that is horrible. I should have done my math beforehand. I didn't think they coul ...

Just a thought, has anybody noticed that all TLs and TSMs are CMTs. I believe they discriminate against those of us who do not have our RMT or CMT for any positions of authority. I have applied for many TL and TSM positions and have never heard a word. They CYA by putting that preferred line in, but what they mean is don't bother. I believe this is discrimination. What do you all think?? ...

I don't know if yall know this, but I found out during the process of appealing an insurance claim that MedQuist is self-insured.

I just went over the NEW (using the term loosely) insurance for January.. wow.. there is not much change to mention. Well, except that smokers will have to pay more. We will still have to pay (single) 2500.00 out of pocket before they will even pay the 75% (my heart goes out to those with families!). I dont know about the rest of you, but that just dooms me to no benefits to speak of or else to just owe out the wazooo. I had been told by my physician that I had ...

I just read the insurance thread and one of you mentioned having no Rx coverage. Go to www.goodrx.com I've gotten deals there that are far better than what I was getting through my insurance (current plan does not include Rx coverage). For instance, my BP medication was $95 cash, $50 insurance, and $33 through GoodRx. ...
