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 November 13, 2019 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on
behalf of workers and former workers of AvMed, Inc., a
subsidiary of SantaFe Healthcare, Inc., Claims Processing
Division, Miami, Florida (AvMed-Claims Processing Division).
Workers of AvMed-Claims Processing Division are engaged in
activities related to the supply of claims processing services
(processing medical claims for health insurance and physician
claims).
The subject worker group (AvMed-Claims Processing Division)
does not included on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in AvMed-Claims Processing
Division 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at AvMed-Claims Processing Division.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AvMed-Claims
Processing Division, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of claims processing 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:
"Workers of AvMed, Inc., a subsidiary of SantaFe
Healthcare, Inc., Claims Processing Division, Miami,
Florida, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 8, 2018, 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 27th day of December 2019.
