Why is AHDI involved?
We want to clarify that AHDI did not solicit this arrangement or settlement money from MedQuist. We were never privy to what was going on with this court case, that the plaintiffs had not met their burden of proof, nor that the attorneys were discussing a settlement. We were approached by the MedQuist attorneys who were seeking our agreement to receive the settlement funds and oversee the programs being offered. The program offerings had to be approved by MedQuist and had to be reviewed by the plaintiff’s attorneys. It is important for people to understand that we are merely administering this benefits program for MedQuist. Membership in AHDI is not required. AHDI agreed to participate in this settlement because we saw an opportunity to provide services and products to MTs who we might not otherwise have had access to.
