Re: Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S -1 Filed on April 7, 2014 File No. 333-192989

Dear Mr. Haq:

We have reviewed your amended registration statement and response letter dated April 4, 2014 , and have the following comments. Unless otherwise noted, where prior comments are referenced, they refer to our letter dated January 9, 2014 .

Risk Factors, page 12

1. Note 1 to your financial statements states that your ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet your cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. Under the current operating model, you will exhaust current cash resources if the line of credit is not renewed in August 2014, unless you complete additional debt or equity financing by that time. Please expand your risk factor disclosures to describe this condition and the risks to investors.

2. You state that you have not adopted any formal standards, responsibilities or pr ocedures governing the review and approval of related -party transactions. Since you have significant contractual obligations as a result of agreements with your CEO, please expand your risk factor to include an appropriately captioned risk factor alerting investors to the fact that such agreements were not reviewed and approved by your audit committee, and discuss the resulting risks.

3. The notes to your financial statements i ndicate that you have restated the 2012 statement of cash flows to correct errors related to the effect of foreign exchange gains on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Although we note your risk disclosures pertaining to the material weakness in your internal control over financial reporting, please include a separately captione d risk factor disclosing the errors identified in your financial statements and the subsequent restatement.

Mahmud Haq Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. May 2, 2014 Page 2

4. On page 94, you state that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has stated that it is concerned that percentage -based billing services ma y encourage RCM companies to commit or to overlook fraudulent or abusive practices. Please tell us what consideration you gave to discussing CMS’ concerns and the resulting risks to your company .

“We may be unable to retain customers of the Target Selle rs …,” page 12

5. You disclose that in the past, your failure to retain acquired customers has led to decreases in our revenues. The current caption does not appear to reflect the historical challenges discussed in the subcaption to the risk factor. Please refocus the caption to ensure that it reflects your experience in this regard.

“We structure our acquisitions as asset purchases …,” page 13

6. You indicate that you will not assume certain liabilities from the Target Companies. In particular, you state that you will not assume $1.4 million in liabilities as part of the acquisition of Omni’s assets, and $1.2 million in liabilities as part of the acquisition of CastleRock’s assets . Please expand this risk factor to provide quantitative context to the liabilities that are not being assumed, and the risks related to non -payment of such liabilities by the sellers. Ensure that you discuss whether payment to the Target Company creditors is assured under the asset acquisition agreements.

“We have incurred recent operating losses …,” page 17

7. Please expand the risk factor caption to state that you have recently experienced net losses.
