apparently someone is using your information you might wanna check. it is legitimate business i just got the call myself and i was in the hospital, and they told me they would be calling for assistance due to lack of insurance. If i was you i would waste my energyon trying to find out who used your info before you have bad credit.

I believe you are right. I asked to be billed as a private payer because the hospital service rendered falls under "pre-exisiting condition" & my insurance won't pay it. When the caller found out I do have insurance, she thanked me politely & hung up.

Left a message but being it is a recorded it has started before the message is set to record so I only get the tail end.

This unsolicited call was from Eligibility Consultants, Inc.@ 972-705-5291 - Called to speak to Manager (David Hyatt) and went to voice mail. Left message to remove my number from their list. Will give them one opportunity to do so. If I receive another call from this company I will start proceedings with the state attorney general's office of Texas.

I received a recorded message from this company asking if "you or anyone in your house has recently been in the hospital".  I reported it for Do Not Call List and HIPAA violations.

The phone number may have not been correctly updated on a hospital account, and therefore you were incorrectly called. Sometimes this happens. When this happens, they remove the number.

This company is NOT a fraud! If in doubt, you can call the hospital's Financial Counselor Office to verify that the hospital contracts ECI to screen patients ON BEHALF OF THE HOSPITALS. There are on-site workers at many area hospitals, and also screeners off-site in their main office. Many patients aren't aware that hospitals provide this service.

When a patient is Self Pay, the hospital refers the ER or Inpatient account to ECI. ECI calls/mails to see if maybe there was insurance that maybe wasn't obtained while at the hospital, or maybe there is other funding the patients are eligible for, and will assist to pursue the options.

The hospital is trying to find ways to help get the bill paid, either thru programs, or in some cases, an additional hospital discount if eligible. Many patients never obtain any assistance because they don't follow through with returning the call, or following through with the application process, so the bills go thru normal billing process.

Well you get in my fkn nerves

Called, didn't leave a message.  If it's the ECI outfit from the 2011 post above, then good luck to you, folks!  I haven't been to a hospital in over 10 years, and it was covered by the insurance I had at the time, sans the deductible I paid long ago.  Getting money *back* from a hospital or insurance company long after-the-fact is virtually impossible.

Woman called to speak to my husband to see if he had government eligibility in relation to a hospital admission he had 1-1/2 years ago. He was not available.  I told her I knew about his hospitalization. She said the information was confidential and she could not speak to me.  She gave me an 800 number for him to return her call.  She said her company name was ECI.  On the phone caller ID, it listed Eligibility Con, 972-705-5291.

They gave me another number to call to get information about medical bills.  I didn't write it down.  They probably want to get access to social security numbers which are often on medical records, but I don't know for sure. I'm on the "do not call list" so if you get unsolicited calls like this, you know they are already breaking the law by calling, so I don't trust any such calls.  Also, those that offer you the option to be removed from their mailing list are not really removing you.  They keep calling and calling.  By answering the calls, calling back, etc. you are just confirming that your phone number is a "good" one.  If they call on my cell phone, I enter them in my address book with the name "scam" so I see that on my ID the next time that number calls.  You have to do this for each new number, but at least you will know the second time they call, etc.  On my house phone, I have to keep a sheet of paper by the phone with scam numbers I reference.  This particular number, 972 area code, is from the Dallas area.  I don't typically get bogus calls from this area code.

I would like to know how they get information that someone in my house has been in the hospital since medical records are not public knowledge.  They are asking for you to call back regarding a recent hospital stay and saying the whole bill can be covered if we qualify.

They called and left a message. I didn't listen to it because I googled the number and found this and something about some consulting firm. From reading the comments here, it's a company about hospital bills? I haven't been to the hospital in 30 years. I haven't been to the doctor in 8 years. I already have medical insurance and I haven't had to use it!! WHY are they calling me?

The female who called claimed to be Teresa calling from Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.  She was lying and I have already confirmed this.

It was an automated recording that gives a toll free number and talks about a program that can pay off your medical bills. It hung up on me without an option to remove my name from their list.

called the the 1800# they left (18004526343) and she said she needed to talk to my husband because he requested "assistance"???  Government assistance? not sure, she acted like it was top secret, texted my husband to call her and get our name & number removed

caller ID said 972-705-5291
