MedAssist, a Louisville-based health care services company that's part of Mumbai-based Firstsource, has launched a software product to integrate with its patient access and business services offerings. MedAssist, which serves about 700 hospitals across the country, offers admission services, patient bill estimation, insurance and collections services. The new software product, which will be offered to clients, is a revenue cycle technology and services suite called MedAssist Revenue Enhancement Solution.

Firstsource Solutions said Wednesday that it will open its north Eugene call center the first week in April, initially hiring about 250 employees and potentially almost doubling that number over time. Firstsource, which has its headquarters in Mumbai, India, has been looking at Lane County for some time. Company representatives checked out a site in Springfield about 10 months ago, for example, before settling on space in the Chambers Media Center building at 2975 Chad Drive.
