SPi versus CyMed...SPI is offshore and YES they bought CyMed...
CyMed is now part of SPi and will be merged into the company and will follow all company policies and procedures. It's the only way the President, COO of SPi could grow the company and keep his job. He has to grow through acquisition. This means that at least 70% of all CyMed's business will be transitioned to India or Manila. The US MTs working at Cymed should be very careful and start looking!!!!
job inquiry
Anyone familiar with MVTS?
Inquiry
Why would you want to go back with them?
Inquiry
I have worked clinic and radiology for Keystrokes and my supervisors have been great. I left this company for a whopping total of 4 days! I was told before I left by 3 people that the door was always open. It didn't take me long to head back. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. I think you would enjoy your time here. I have been with them for 1 1/2 years.
TT inquiry
I'm not being fresh or anything like that, but I wondered if you people who work at TT like it or not. I can't tell from what you write. I am considering working for them, but I need to know if you new people who joined them a while ago like them or not. Can you make any decent money with them? Thanks.

Keystrokes inquiry
Could someone email me about this company? I am considering applying. Would like to know how many lines you need for full-time HIM, how flexible the schedule is, if the benefits are good. Are the supervisors good to work with? What is the approximate line rate? TIA.
Medquist Inquiry
Has anyone worked with Medquist? I received a call from a recruiter that pulled my resume from this website.
Thanks,
Angie
So, what does this post have to do with her inquiry about
nm
Line Rate Inquiry
When a company says they pay $.08 - $.0875 cents per 65 black & white character line is that more or less than the standard statement of a 65 character line? Not sure what they mean but they claim their pay is one of the best around.
What happened to my post with an inquiry for companies that have clinic work available in the
mornings (not in the afternoons or evenings)? I did not think there was anything inappropriate in my message and thought it was on the correct board. Thanks.
CyMed
Any current info on this company would be appreciated. Specifically would like to know if they allow a flexible schedule, what their pay range is, what type of software they use, and how the staff is to work with. Any info is much appreciated.
Cymed
I am surprised that you had a bad experience with Cymed. Which office was you working out of? I work for the Ohio office and the trainer is wonderful. She is very helpful and actually everyone that I have dealt with so far has been great. 
CyMed
TIA.
cymed
I talked to their Richmond office and was offered 8.5 cpl, but they do not pay for spaces. I have a friend who works for a different office and she gets paid for spaces, but they told me they had instituted a new policy and only the people who had worked for them before it went into effect still got paid for spaces.
cymed
I work for the Virginia office and you will never find a nicer group of people.
Managers are great and the tech. support is wonderful day or night.
CyMed
I was offered 9 cpl. No they don't pay for spaces because they said they don't charge for them. Everyone I talked to seemed incredibly nice except the trainer. She was incredibly rude when she called me, so much so that I did not accept the job. I told them about her too. She seemed like a hateful older lady who really didn't have time for the likes of me.
Cymed
Cymed of Ohio does a lot of reports for the Cleveland Clinic. I also saw the article on the face transplant. I have worked for Cymed for 17 yrs.
Cymed
I work for Cymed. I have been with them since July and totally love it there. Great people.
Cymed
Do you mind sharing what office you are out of and do find it hard to get your linecount without being paid for spaces?
cymed
I work for the Ohio office. I do not have a problem with getting a decent line count. The platform is great and easy to use.
CyMed Pay
I know you would want to figure about 20% for the loss of spaces, but then the headers offset that a bit and the good platform. The 9 cents seems very low based on that if you are an experienced MT.
Cymed and pay?
Can anyone give me information on Cymed, pay?
Cymed
I was with MQ at one point too, but now with Cymed. This company is very MT friendly and I've always got work. They did not offer statutory employee, just PT or FT. FT gives me good insurance, vacation and holiday pay. What I like the most is my supervisor saying she wouldn't have her job if it wasn't for us MTs.
cymed
Does anyone else work for Cymed, and what is your experience
cymed
can you please elaborate
cymed
i have worked for them for about 1 year. great managers. easy platform.
cymed
I have worked for Cymed now for 17 years. I worked for the company under the ownership of Linda and Tom Lally before they merged recently. They are just like any other transcription company out there as far as pay etc is concerned, however, they do seem to care and work with their employees including giving incentives etc. The company recently helped out an employee living the the New Orleans area who lost everything she had. The company really came through for her. Good luck to you regarding which company you choose.
cymed
when i clicked Cymed in your note, i was directed to another page here and saw:
Cymed, Inc. is involved in Offshore Outsourcing (sending sensitive private health information of US citizens to countries such as India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc...).
cymed
Anyone working for Cymed that can tell me pros, cons, how many accounts they typically assign you, workload consistency, dictator quality, $$ potential, platform info, etc. Just applied and want to make sure I am getting into something positive. Any info appreciated!!
cymed
I work for Cymed and have been happy. The positives have been their platform is the best I have worked on. I previously worked on ExText and like Chartnet better. You can be very productive if you stay focused. Also nice accounts and tons of work.
Someone always posts that they hear they offshore. It is my understanding they offshore a small amount of nonacute care work to the Philippines. Not sure if this has changed or not but lack of work has never been an issue.
Like anywhere else, a lot depends on what account you get but my experience has been positive and I feel the ability to be successful with this company is definitely there.
Cymed
Does anyone have info on this company? I may be considering applying for one of their positions and would like to know if they have steady work, a good line rate, platform, and any other information? Thank you!!!
CyMed
I cannot speak for Medscribe but have had a good experience with Cymed. There platform is excellent and there has not been any problem running out of work. We have actually had some bonus weekends to catch things up. Another thing I like is they pay every other week, direct deposit. The last place I was at was the 15th and end of the month and it just seemed like you waited forever to get paid. I don't think they are perfect, no company is, but they certainly give you the tools you need to be successful and then it is really up to you. Also, a very nice staff.
Cymed
Thanks, I will check it out!!!
CyMed again?
Well, isn't it just wonderful what they are doing to their MTs? I also used to work for them, but went on to something else, as an IC - works out better for me, anyway. Cymed needs to get with the program, and start paying for SPACES, also!! They are always having meeting all the time - I think they are for trying to come up with ways of cheating the MTs out of their benefits, etc, etc, etc. Their line counts even seem to be short on every pay, did not get paid for the actual typed characters either - seems THEIR lines were somewhat different than what I actually typed.
Cymed
Absolutely get with the program!! They try to tell us that the visual black character is becoming the standard demanded by the client and that it allows for verification of billing. What about verification of how the MT is paid? Sure they say they may pay for headers to make up for taking away spaces, but try to pin them down to allow you to verify how you are paid and see how they dance around that question. Shouldn't it work both ways? Shouldn't they be just as accountable to us as they are to the client? I say let's send a report back without those spaces and see how long it takes the client to reject it! If you want spaces you gotta pay for them!!
Admit it, Cymed. You are taking away our spaces only to line your own pockets and for the sake of growth. Give us some credit for our intelligence. How about slowing the train down and taking a look at how you have grown at such a rapid rate. Invest for a change in your employees and see what bleesings it brings.
I wonder how long Cymed would remain the third largest MTSO (which I don't believe) if we went on strike for spaces?
cymed
Why would you accept not getting paid for spaces? You're hoping they will make up for spaces? Don't think for a minute they are going to make up for the spaces out of the kindness of their heart. I don't understand how you have just accepted a position with them on the hope they will make up for not paying you for spaces. It's this kind of attitude that perpetuates the unfair practice of not getting paid for them in our profession.
CyMed
they tell you anything they think you want to hear but as soon as they get you hired its a different story. not enough work always running out. benefits are not good, very expensive. I am a single parent so not worth it for me.
cymed
they over hire almost impossible to get line count.
Cymed
My experience with Cymed has been very positive. Have not had a problem with running out of work except for this last week and I think that is pretty much the norm. They do not pay for spaces though, so make sure you don't settle for too low a rate, though headers and footers do help. Great platform by the way. I think think they give you the tools to be successful.
