Case ID: 4468 | Employment | 10/07/2005
MedQuist Inc., a leading provider of electronic medical transcription, health information and document management products and services, announced the filing of a lawsuit against the company. The action is allegedly brought on behalf of MedQuist's employee and independent contractor transcriptionists who claim they contracted with the Company to be paid per "AAMT line," but were underpaid due to intentional miscounting of the number of characters and lines transcribed.
The AAMT unit of measure was jointly developed by the American Association of Medical Transcriptionists and other industry groups, but is no longer supported by these groups due to ambiguities in the definition. The named plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and request an accounting. The allegations of the Myers case are substantially similar to those in Hoffman, et al. v. MedQuist, et al., another lawsuit filed in federal court in Georgia. MedQuist is seeking to have the Hoffman action transferred to New Jersey and will request that it be consolidated with the Myers case.
