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!!!!
SPI bought CyMed....US MTs look out....
They will tell you not to worry.....all the while transitioning your job to an MT in India or Manila. Get out while you can!
Pro-Type not bought by CyMed
I currently work for ProType and they were not bought by any national company. They are a private owned company that is very good to work for. No offshore outsourcing done at all. I don't know who Cymed is but they are not connected to ProType in PA at all. I would know since I currently work for them.
SPI is the company who bought CyMed
Philippines/India/US co. from what I understand
They got bought out by MQ years ago, about 1999.

I thought Etrans Plus was bought out several years ago by one of the "big three"
and very unprofessional.
I was with Cymed for 2-1/2 years
and pretty much got screwed by SPI. I could pour out a lot of vitriole but, suffice it to say, so far, all those negative posts about SPI have been my experience also. The thing that really got me was that I had an account manager and QA person tell me You're the best one here and a senior account manager tell me doctors requested that I type them...yet they all seemed powerless to give me enough lines to type. Yep...they discovered that anyone can be replaced. Gone With The Wind
Huh??? CyMed hasn't been around for almost 2 years now.
They were bought out by SPi, which is one of the worst companies out there! I know this for a fact as I worked for Cymed for about 2 years until they were bought out by SPi in the mid to late summer of 2006, so they don't even exist anymore.
Cymed offshores. I have 20 years' experience and
they offered me 8 cpl, 8.5 cpl if I did over 18,000 lines a pay period.
cymed info
not enough work. always fighting to get line count.
Any info on Cymed
I haven't been able to find any recent info on them? Any good, bad or indifferent opionons would be appreciated?!
Anyone have info on Cymed changes?
I am a little confused. I get ONE day's notice that we won't get a full check until the 23rd of the month due to payroll changes. Then we get an email about open enrollment for Anthem. One of the reasons I took the job was because the Cigna was so affordable. What is going on with this company? I think they could have told us we couldn't be getting a check for nearly a full month WAY in advance so at least we could have been ready.
Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

Updated info on CyMed?
Hi -
First time ever on this board and I've been an MT for 15 years. Worked for Healthscribe before Spheris took over (3 years) and now work for another company...but looking elsewhere. Can anyone give me their honest opinions about CyMed? I just tested with them, extremely easy to me, but I HATE changing job. However, job I have now....isn't paying the bills at all, waiting for work constantly, they are going to start off-shoring, etc. I'm single, have 1 child, lost a great job last year working by the hour (outside of home), but lost the job (don't even ask). I loved it, but got screwed. Now I'm just depressed, disgusted, broke, etc., and very stressed and worried. I'm going to have to get out of transcription or something. This just isn't working and I seriously would appreciate any good or bad.  I talked to a man there for over an hour yesterday. He was extremely patient and took his time explaining everything I asked.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Anyone have any info on Accuscribe out of SC or Cymed...
good or bad, any info would be of help
Thanks 
Only former CyMed emps got their info stolen, right?
This has only happened to SPi employees who were former Cymed folks, right? I haven't heard of any SPi employees getting the letter...Anyone have confirmation or know otherwise?
Anyone have recent info on Cymed in Virginia? Oldest posts are from 09/2005- TIA
I worked for them several years ago, so cannot provide recent info, but sm
the work was plentiful and easy (clinic work). The pay was not so high, and was kinda weird, paid by character. It is an IC position, and and so you are responsible for all taxes and such. Also, if I remember correctly, you do not get your first check for 4 weeks, then it is every 2 weeks. I was only working part-time so it really was not that big of an issue with me. And I think direct deposit was not available, only paid by check, but it was on time.
As I recall, Carol was very knowledgeable and fair. With the pay scale going down every day, there are certainly worse places to work.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
How recent is this info? A contact said I'd be lucky to start at 7 cpl w/years of exp. nm

What I just bought
Go to stedmans.com and get the AAMT Book of Style and also the Stedman's Spellchecker CD-ROM. They will bill you for these, and you will be happy that you bought them! You will also love working at home if you can pace yourself and refuse to be distracted, especially with the price of gasoline as it is.
Is all of this because when MQ bought YOG SM
they continued to pay the MT's what they were receiving at YOG, which was more than MT's at MQ made? Now everyone will be making the same amount or less?
I don't work for MQ, so I don't know, this is just what I gathered talking to friends.
They were bought out by MQ. NM

This is the co that was bought by the guy from ddi
that left when MQ bought them
Well, I bought one
and got the reimbursement. I work at home, but I still drive.
Bought it new. It is an HP.
I was with the co they bought and we had sm
a nice situation. Here comes the CEO promising us we were going to know every day how much we're valued, how important we are. Not so. For the first 6 months it was okay, hard to get used to all the management we suddenly had, but then things started going downhill. Then the push with the VR. Seems to me that most of our work is going to be VR work and they're probably aware they pay more than the other companies - so it will not surprise me at all if they take that away now.
I hate these town hall calls, They never contain anything good for the people who are doing the grunt work.
HS bought out by Spheris
I was working for Healthscribe when Spheris bought them out; I have to say that I have had nothing but a positive experience with them thus far. We don't seem to be micromanaged; quite the contrary. I can get up and walk around to stretch my legs and at times am gone for 20 minutes or so and no one calls me or e-mails me. Communication is wonderful from my supervisor on up to management. The only downside is that they are so short-staffed that there is mandatory overtime for the radiology accounts so if you want to make $$$, this would be the place to go. Hope this is helpful.
I believe Transcend bought MDI?

Duh, they bought Heartland...

When we bought our van last year,
But the cost was $10,000 higher than the Toyota. We're not talking a small amount here - $10,000 difference (more if we would have added the extras to the Dodge, that were standard on the Toyota). As soon as the prices of the American cars start coming down, people will buy them. Right now - it's more expensive to buy American, with worse quality and no standard features - everything is extra. Very disappointing and COSTLY.
Keystrokes BOUGHT an...
According to my dictionary transcriber is a person. It only takes a second to look it up.
Do you think that MDI is the same since they were bought by Transcend? sm
I have thought of going back (left a few years ago and took a few years off after having twins nine months after another baby) but I am worried about that. I have a friend who works there and she is complaining a lot, but she tends to be a complainer so I am not sure what to do.
I also was on clinic notes and prefer radiology. Maybe they are doing more rad. I do remember seeing that they were paying a sign-on bonus.
I am just looking for some answers before I make the wrong move.
Is Accuscribe still out there or have they been bought out? nm
.
Anybody know anything about who SPI supposedly bought yet?
I really hope its not Medware.
Acusis bought out DRC . .nm
nm
Acusis bought DRC.
.
Not only that, but maybe the reason they bought DRC & are looking - sm
to buy many others, has nothing to do with quality US transcription. Maybe they want to eliminate US-based companies so that the clients will have NO choice. It could end up being a choice between - Indian or Pakistani?
Maybe South African or Filipino?
Turkish or Chinese?
I also tried it. Even bought the latest..sm
version they claimed to be so much better etc. I tried it and it was a complete waste of time and money. It does not work like they say and I spent a considerable amount of time with it. IT is the way to go. Much more worth it and so much easier.
They were just bought out by Webmedx. nm

Won't see that. They were bought out by Nuance. NM

I just bought yesterday,
some Phillips iPod ear buds from Walgreen's for $20 and I LOVE them! They have 3 different size ear buds you can attach with a little spongy rubber ring that cancels out all background noise. They are comfy, too, as they finally made a small enough ear bud to fit in my little ears. Definitely worth a try!
There is only one MDI now (MDI-MD). The other MDI in FL was bought by Transcend. nm

When was the last time you bought a car? sm
Depending on the car, the loan can be up to 72 months.
You know that bought your company so
1 of our fearless leaders did not have to leave TN. True.
Transcend bought MDI-Florida....sm
I haven't heard of MDI in Georgia.
Heartland is finally bought...
Spheris purchases Heartland Information Services... more to come later this week
No communication. They were bought out by Transcend and it has sm
not been good. I used to love working there but now hate every minute of it. I think that they sold out.
Equipment bought by Keystrokes
Anyone who can help with a telephone number for Keystrokes please e-mail me. I sent her a Lanier 219 unit one month ago today and even after several reassurances I'd be sent a check for the agreed-upon amount, still haven't gotten paid for it. I understand there has been sickness with several people in the company and other difficulties last month, but I'm getting really worried. Thanks very much!
If MQ bought the company I work for........
I would quit anyway.
Unfortunately. Transcend bought MDI Florida and now it is as
bad as Transcend. Was the best company out there when it was a smaller privately owned company and Liz was in charge.
