I also - never supported AHDI

Posted: Nov 2nd, 2019 - 12:45 am In Reply to: I never willingly gave them a dime - but

I clearly remember that horrible time period - November 1998 to August 2008. I was working in an office at that time with several other MTs, and we all just knew our line counts were somehow being shorted. God only knows how much in pay each of us lost because of this...

According to the official MedQuist settlement page, “the case asserts that MedQuist manipulated its computer systems to underpay its medical transcriptionists for their per-line medical transcription work. MedQuist denies that it did anything wrong.”

The bulk of the $1.5 million settlement payment will go to the Association for Healthcare Documentation (AHDI). These funds will be “used to fund programs for the general benefit of medical transcriptionists and the medical transcription industry. In addition, qualifying class members will be eligible to participate in certain AHDI programs free of charge. No payments will be made directly to any individuals.”

It was an absolute disgrace the way MTs were thrown under the bus...twice over.
