Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 10, 2010 by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Genascis, LLC, formerly known as Physician
Management Group, a subsidiary of Physician Management Group
Holdings, Inc., Los Angeles, California. The workers are
engaged in activities related to billing, collections, and
accounts receivable management services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Robert Half International,
Legal Option Group, Temp Unlimited, Express Employment
Professionals, and Addison Group OKC, LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of Genascis, LLC,
Los Angeles, California, who are engaged in employment related
to billing, collections, and accounts receivable management,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become totally or partially separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Genascis, LLC to a foreign country of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Genascis, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Genascis, LLC,
formerly known as Physician Management Group, a subsidiary of
Physician Management Group Holdings, Inc., Los Angeles,
California, who are engaged in employment related to billing,
collections, and accounts receivable management services, meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:


"All workers Genascis, LLC, formerly known as Physician
Management Group, a subsidiary of Physician Management
Group Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Robert Half International, Legal Option Group, Temp
Unlimited, Express Employment Professionals, and Addison
Group OKC, LLC, Los Angeles, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
8, 2009, through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 16th day of December, 2010
