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 February 4, 2011, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of LYNX Medical Systems, Coding Services
Division, a subsidiary of Ingenix, Bellevue, Washington. The
workers provide coding services for medical facilities. The
worker group includes workers whose wages were previously
reported under FEIN 91-1263758.
The investigation revealed that workers of LYNX Medical
Systems, who are engaged in employment related to medical
coding services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with medical coding services.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
coding services from a foreign country by LYNX Medical Systems
contributed importantly to worker group separations in the
Coding Services Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LYNX Medical Systems,
Coding Services Division, a subsidiary of Ingenix, Bellevue,
Washington, who are engaged in employment related to coding
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 of LYNX Medical Systems, Coding Services
Division, a subsidiary of Ingenix, including workers
whose wages were previously reported under 91-1263758,
Bellevue, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 3, 2010,
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 February, 2011
