NASHVILLE,TN (TN Tribune) – 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…
