Is anyone doing the Cypress test? - MT

Posted: Jul 29, 2012

Cypress has another ad for summarizers. Just wondering if anyone is going to do the test.

No way - sm

Before I fumble through 45 pages of medical records and summarize them, I want to know what the pay is, if this is really a long-term job, how much work there will be, etc. But I've emailed them these questions and never got an answer. Why would I spend hours doing this "simple" test and not know anything about this job?!

Someone posted the pay below (sm) - MT

Someone took the job with them and she said they told her the pay is $6.00 per page. I don't know if that is good or not because I have never done summarizing before. I wouldn't mind trying to test, but it's a bit confusing. I think it would be easier if I printed it all out and went from there.

Maybe the reason they didn't answer you is because they kind of answered those questions in the ad. They said they've been around for I think 35 years and that they have many summarizers who have been with them for many years. I think that's what it said. As far as how much work, they said they have a lot and require a "minimum" of 40 hours a week, so I guess that means they have a lot of work. Don't get me wrong, it would be polite of them to answer you, but you know how it is.

I would love to know more about this position but it seems no one here on MT Stars has ever done it or at least they don't want to share. I don't know.

Did the test, got call back, rate is $6.00 per page of summarized record. Hope that helps.

How many pages per hour can one do? - not familiar with this. nm

I am not sure. I found the test file rather disorganized and time consuming and difficult to do from viewing reports on the computer. Used to doing it with an actual file and being able to organize items chronologically. I know that the test file took about an hour. I think it might be easier once one becomes used to doing it and develops a system or template or way to make sense out of it.

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.

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. ...

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! ...

Did anyone accept a position with the above after doing the 49-page file review and summarization.

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.
