accretive health under fire (rightfully so I might add)

A Democratic lawmaker asked U.S. health officials to investigate the practices of debt collector Accretive Health Inc. (AH), accused of demanding that emergency room patients pay their bills before receiving care at a hospital group in Minnesota.

Federal law prohibits hospitals from denying emergency care to anyone, regardless of their ability to pay.


Saw this story being covered on CNN and did a google search. Seems they station debt collectors IN Emergency Rooms, and hit up patients for money, threatening to withhold treatment if money isnt paid.
