I did a summary and have never heard-this was about 1-1/2 weeks ago.

I did the summarization test too... - Waiting

Recruiter emailed me back a day later and asked for a phone number where he could reach me. That was last Fri. Have not heard from him yet.

It's okay - sm

It's work that has to be done a specific way and it can be very time consuming. I'm making a better wage as each day goes by. There are huge files that make me want to pull my hair out, but then I get some easier files. So, all in all, it's a good second income for me.

Approximately how much $$ hourly? I imagine it is frustrating and - Slow going at first

Do you see your rate increasing as time goes by? How many summaries do they want you do to per hour/day?

They pay per page - sm

$6 a page. At first, I was making about 6 bucks an hour! Awful! Now, a few months later, I'm at about 14 an hour. I work only part-time. They don't expect you to do a certain number of files, you tell them how many you want. For example, last Friday I had one file and it was 765 pages. It took me four hours to do it because it was so huge.

$6 a page, 765 pages, in 4 hours? That's a nice paycheck for 4 hours' work! Are they hiring?!?

Sorry, my post wasn't written well - sm

The patient's file came in as 765 pages. After I summarized it, it was 10 pages, so I made 60 bucks.

If you could summarize 3 of those a day, then you - would be in business, 60 x 3 is $180 a day.

But the question is, is that an easy thing to do?

Ah...well, a girl can dream! - time4achange

Still not bad though, $15 an hour if it's consistent.

Just curious about the 700+ page report to be summarized. Did you actually print all of that out in order to summarize? If so, think it would be costly to do that after awhile. Also, if you didn't print it out, how did you do it? Split screen or something? Thanks! Thinking of applying.

Does anyone work for this company or had worked for this company doing medical review work? I do review work for a local IME doctor and I love it. I would love to find more of this type of work.

Did anyone accept a position with the above after doing the 49-page file review and summarization. I had a call from the gentleman last night but not at a good time, so he will call back this evening. Curious as to whether or not their actual files are as disorganized as the test file. If anyone accepted a position, can you share how it is going. Thanks. ...

I applied to their ad, took the test and was offered a position. Would like feedback from anyone who works there, or worked there. Did you like it? Were you honestly able to make a living doing this type of work? Pay offered seemed low for the amount of time it took me to summarize the sample they sent me for the test. Any information you can supply is greatly appreciated. ...

Does anyone know if this company is really legit. There is nothing that comes up on Google as far as a company website, or any information really. They give no contact name really. It seems odd. If anyone knows of a website or other company information, would be great. Thanks very much. Lots of scams out there these days. ...

I'm wondering if anyone has actually done the testing for this company/job (for medical records summarizer). I applied and they sent me a packet and a test. They want me to review 45 pages of medical records and summarize it! This is all sketchy to me. They have an AOL email address, no company info, nothing. Not sure if this is a scam or what. ...

I was wondering if any of you have had work yet on the account that starts with K and is in CA. I have not had any yet and made my hours in the early morning until early afternoon.

The job wtih Cypress sounds interesting; however, I am just curious about the references being "physician references." I have been working at home for about 20 years and my references are all MTSO-type references. Do they overlook this or does it actually have to be doctors? Thanks. ...

Aug 05, 2012

Does anybody know any companies besides Cypress that does that kind of work? I'm interested in it but Cypress itself seems to disorganized, their testing is ridiculous and I have no physician references because I've worked at home for years. Any information is welcome. Thanks! ...

In my ongoing search to find a job, I came across this company that I thought I would pass along. It is Northeast Transcription Inc. and their site says they hire new grads (within the past 6 months). You have to be able to stand on your own from the start - there's no mentoring or special support, but it would be worth checking into. Good luck. ...

I wish I could be happy for you; however, the MTs on my account have been out of work for the better part of the week and we were informed recently of the plan for the company to add more MTs to this account. Great, more of us sitting around out of work. Welcome to the company. ...

So did anyone who trained in the last month start working yet? How's it going? Any insight to offer those of us still waiting to start? I'm kinda freaked out at everything I read here and I truly should stop reading it; however, it's like a train wreck I can't seem to look away long enough to give myself perspective. Add to that that I'm already depressed for other reasons and things are not looking so hot in my neck of the woods on any level.&nbs ...

As per the post below, 7 and 3 pennies per line. Seriously, when will the madness end?! They have got to stop treating us like "typists." Actually, even a typist would make more than that. You'd be making like 7 bucks an hour!! Oh I am just hopping mad right now. This company is just appalling. Glad I am planning my escape. ...
