It is not paranoia you sIut.

I have the dammn letters they sent.
For the record, the Tennessee Dept Commerce and Insurance has followed up and is moving forward with the complaint.

You must work for the crooks.

Firstsource is a COLLECTION AGENCY IN DISGUISE

Let's not name-call please.

Most hospitals have personnel that go around and try to work with patients who are financially unable to pay their bills.  They will often sign the person up for state aid in the form of medicaid or similar programs.  My brother who was basically destitute had to go to hospital and they signed him up for SSI as disabled (I believe) which got him on SS a little earlier than the 62 year age requirement.   They put him on medicaid.
 

So.  No need for intermediaries.

I found this thread while trying to determine what MedAssist is and what they do. I have found no conclusive evidence here, although I have read some very polarized opinions. None of the correspondence I got from them asked me to rescind my HIPAA rights, although they have asked for bank account and debt related info. This could be completely valid and well-intentioned, I just have a hard time trusting it. I will have to continue research before I continue with their paperwork.

Your comment is 100 percent correct! These so called people are nothing but a debt collection agency in the guise of a patient advocate.
Another example of such a company would be called advanced patient advocacy.
I was sent a letter by med assist that was basically a power of attorney form they wanted me to sign.
As you can expect it went in the trash!

I find it strange this same photo and basically same message is also on the 800 notes about advanced patient advocacy.
Makes me thing its just someone going board to board trying to keep people thinking these are patient advocates.

This so called company called med assist is nothing but a debt collection agency in the guise of a patient advocate.
Another example would be called advanced patient advocacy.
Truth be known they are probably the same parasites with 2 different names.
They sent me a form that was basically a power of attorney form and it went right in the trash can.

MedAssist Web Site indicates that they are indeed a debt collector:  http://medassistsolutions.com/healthcare-solutions/.  It also indicates that it is a subsidiary of firstsource which also indicates that it is a debt collector on their web site:  http://www.firstsource.com/contactus.aspx
They list addresses in Mumbi, India, and Amhurst, NY, both known havens for criminal debt collection operations.
Medassist lists a Kentucky address that corresponds with the previous posting.  BBB has them listed in alabama:  http://www.bbb.org/csal/business-reviews/heal ... ham-al-32000786
BBB page for firstsource lists an A+ rating, but they have 158 complaints, meaning that they have paid enough money to the BBB for the high of a rating:  http://www.bbb.org/upstate-new-york/business- ... rst-ny-47000806

No, shame on you .
You must work for the crooks.

I'm not paranoid about anything. Everything I posted is  EXACTLY what happened.

WHY DON'T YOU OR ANYONE ELSE GOOGLE -->>    " FIRST SOURCE COMPLAINT'S "

Just Google it.  

Everyone read for yourself !

Wow, so I was recently at the hospital in the Destin, FL area and was visited by one of these so called 'paitent reps' Highly unprofessional in the way she was dressed for it being work and very rude and condescending to say the least. I was in severe pain and she wanted me to sign all these documents.... Maybe crazy but I think they hire to distract people to get them to sign stuff... thankfully my  brother was with me and got her out before I did something I will regret... stay away from this bunch!

Ahhh, Back to work today ... just had to chime in to as many posts as I can against all these collection agencies to fight back and see how many debtors are still on this website trying to NOT pay their bills LOL ... just checked other posts to chime in on those too.  How we doing debtors? Still same garbage lies and claim to everything being a "Scam" when your the scam by stealing money? We take out any new loans today we dont plan on paying back or what?

From what im reading and seeing the documents u have sent to my son. U have the balls to put in these documents that u guys would b his POA if he signs these papers. My son also has medical insurance so u guys prey on him hoping he signs.

That troll posted here in 2012, 5 years ago and will certainly never see your reply.  Maybe you should have kept reading because I see newer posts here that would have given you the information you need.

I'm here for my father who's been in ICU for 16 days and now general for about 4. He doesn't have insurance and we know we're going to have a VERY high bill. I've been doing research on this company and they tell me this is for financial help. They will do what they can to lower bills etc etc.... they've been coming more and more lately I noticed too. The case manager came in today to ask me why I haven't applied and said it's going to help us with our bills.

Medassist will help you out of every penny you have.  It is a collection agency run out of New York and India.  All the information you need is in this thread.  You do not need an outside company to fill out the forms for medical assistance.

Non stop phone calls. Feels like harassment. I have insurance. Stop bothering me!

I'm getting tons of annoying calls from what shows as Med Assist. All different numbers within New York St. They never leave a message and if I should answer there is no one there most times. Once there was a women about health insurance I told her I wasn't interested. I get 20-30 calls a day. Block each time but comes again with a different phone number.
