To those working at Cymed, since they outsource, do you find sm

that you end up with the cra* dictation, while they send the easier stuff overseas? I have heard that is the case with some companies, and since the recruiter is supposed to be calling me in a day or two to offer me a position, I just kind of wanted to know what I am dealing with.
Also, since they do not pay for spaces, what would be a fair rate to ask for? I normally make 10 to 11 cpl, w/spaces, 65 ccl.
Thanks in advance for your help/input.

working for Cymed
I started with Cymed about a year ago and have no problem getting line counts. Really like flexibility with hours.
Yes! Working for CyMed and quite happy. No jumping
from account to account. The rare times I run out of work, there is other work available, but that's the only account jumping. Platform wonderful! People great! Tech support fantastic! I made more money years ago, but I have found that is a universal problem with MTing. Overall, I'm very pleased.
Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

I love working on Meditech. I find it faster than other programs. It really does sm
depend on the account, the version, your connection, etc. There is not a lot of donated time in my opinion. I type upwards of 3000 lines per day (65 character count, not gross) and only work 8 hours. The spellcheck is medical on the account I am on. I use my Expanders for everything. Most of us on the account I am on do over 1500 lines a day, so maybe different accounts are set up different at the actual hospital. I have never lost a report in the middle, although I read that a lot here. I have been working on it for over 3 years.
Hmm....working on the holidays, PMS, kids home from school, wanting to find a better job but can'

I love doing pathology, but it is hard to find a position for working at home. Gross pathology is
easy, descriptive typing. Microscopic is a little more difficult, but once you get the terminology down, it goes really quickly. I also found it easy to get lines in with pathology. If you've done acute care, you should not have a problem with the transition, IMHO.
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!!!!
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
JLG outsource???
Anyone know if JLG outsources? I asked their HR person and so far have received no response. Very suspicious about that.
JLG Outsource???
They have advertised on boards using their "Vianeta or Arrendale" software. If you search Google for Arrendale software, you will see that Arrendale and CBAY formed a partnership.... Check past posts on CBAY. What do you think?
Do they outsource?

MDI does not outsource but they do
overhire. Not a bad company overall, just have to fight for work a lot of the time.
Outsource
Do they outsource now? If not, they're planning it, big time. Companies need excuses to outsource, main one being they can't meet demand. Yeah, drop that line req down, that'll do it! Care to divulge company name?
they outsource and their pay is low nm

Outsource
MDI does not outsource but they were bought by Transcend who has been sending work to Florida. Just an FYI.
Not an outsource
No everyone there worked from home. They also used Transcend for overflows. It was a good place to work, but dayshift was years away.

I am 99.9% sure they do not outsource. nm
Boy do they outsource
The offshores get preference for the work. Some of the managers are just awful, especially one in particular. I mean downright nasty and not even available for questions. Big shakeups lately.
if they did HAVE to outsource all, tho,
or even a ton, it would be a QA nightmare and clients would finally have to ask - WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH YOU PEOPLE?
sweeeet
They do more than outsource, as they have
an office in India.
No, they do not outsource.

They do outsource, don't let them kid you

no no NO! TT does NOT outsource sm
There is, however, an Indian company with a similar name that IS doing business in India.
I know it gets slammed on here for doing all kinds of things and I have never heard a word of truth about Transtech spoken here.
I did not say that they don't outsource
I said that not all of the team leads are in India.
Yes, Medware does outsource....sm
and they make no bones about it. However, they are not the only company to do so and more and more companies will likely be doing the same in the future. Like it or not, this is the future of medical transcription...to get the transcription done offshore and then have it edited by more qualified egocentric jerks like myself in the USA.
I think you have overstepped the boundaries of common decency in categorizing people who work for Medware or any other company who chooses to outsource their work. If you don't like it, you don't have to work there and don't have to associate with us, but it is a low blow to attack fellow members of your profession in such an unprofessional manner.
MDI does NOT outsource.. all work is done
on-shore. Transcend does outsource though (minimal).
Does Transolutions outsource?
nm
They outsource heavily and
make no bones about it. They are located in suburban Nashville, TN and generally make no bones about their ties with Indian transcriptionists.
Most of the companies out there outsource now.

companies who outsource
Do you consider Canadians being outsourcing? With all the Americans out of work does it bother you that companies hire Canadians?
SPI information? Do they outsource?
Any info appreciated.
They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
They outsource to India and..
when the recruiter was asked, she said she didn't know that for sure even though it is posted on their website. When this was pointed out, I still couldn't get her to admit it. I turned them down because I prefer straight answers and dont' work for companies who outsource to India.
They outsource on VR accounts. NM

yes, they still OFFSHORE (not outsource), otherwise

Wow, that's impressive. Do they outsource?
Now I am very intrigued! I did e-mail them and asked a few basic questions. Do you have any idea what their pay scale is? I have almost 7 years of experience as an MT.
Yes, they do outsource to Spheris
When ATSIS offered me a position back in early November, the account I was going to work on was with Spheris and the company was fixing to leave Spheris. It was a BIG mess. Maybe it's a blessing I did not end up working with this company. The recruiting manager is so darn RUDE. I would never want to communicate with her again. I would not trust her if she gave me the biggest offer to come back. That company is so darn SCREWED UP! I can see why the keep advertising over and over again constantly. They are probably screwing every MT like they did me! I sure hope every MT that is reading this post does not even consider appling with ATSI out of Clearwater, Florida because they will be sorry!!!
Have a great holiday. You deserve so much better out there than this CRAZY company.
Do you mean outsource as in offshore? (NM)

I know they outsource to India sm
Whatever is not done by a certain point at night the send to India so that it is ready to edit in the morning. I am surprised they are allowed to advertise for MTs on this site, but they DO outsource and I have this from the current recruiter. They pay their American MTs pretty well, but on the backs of the outsourced stuff from what I can tell.
For the record, I had an offer at the end of last year, didn't take it because it is outsourced. As long as we support this sort of thing it will continue. The minute we all refuse to work for a place like that, the sooner it all comes home.
