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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 6, 2017 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of MTBC Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary
of Medical Transcription Billing Corporation, Somerset, New
Jersey (subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of full-service revenue cycle management
services, including the supply of billing and reimbursement
services to healthcare providers. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Randstad Professionals.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MTBC Acquisition
Corporation, Somerset, New Jersey, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of full-service revenue cycle 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 MTBC Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of
Medical Transcription Billing Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Randstad Professionals, Somerset,
New Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 6, 2016 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 13th day of April 2017.
