Consumer-rights law firm Hagens Berman has launched a national investigation into Envision Healthcare Corporation and its medical bill collection moniker, MyMedicalPayments.com, for what attorneys say is likely a massive billing scam.
“We’ve seen widespread reports from consumers across the country who are baffled and frankly very frightened by the wildly inflated hospital and ER bills they receive from Envision’s MyMedicalPayments.com,” said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman. “After their visit, patients are often hounded by confusing mailers, text messages and phone calls, harassing them to pay exorbitant fees and overcharges.”
“We think it’s time this extortion stopped,” he added. “We believe that what Envision is doing violates consumers’ rights and consumer protection laws.”
If you receive care from an Envision physician, or a medical bill from MyMedicalPayments.com, you may have been severely overcharged for medical care and may be entitled to repayment. Contact Hagens Berman to find out more about this issue and your consumer rights against Envision.
While allegedly fleecing patients, Envision has made its private-equity investors rich. By 2005, Tennessee-based Envision was the largest ER outsourcer in the U.S. with roughly 300 client hospitals in 39 states and $550 million in sales, attorneys say.
Online forums and the Better Business Bureau’s online reports list dozens of complaints against Envision, with medical bills in the thousands of dollars.
