Patient Power USA membership benefits are designed to deliver immediate healthcare savings worth far more than annual dues - while contributing to a cause larger than any individual member.
Patient Power USA has partnered with a professional Health Advocates team to provide our members personal phone and email support - a champion in your
corner to explain what your insurance covers, which providers are in-network, how much a procedure costs,
finding a specialist, scheduling appointments, error-checking doctor and hospital bills, comparing drug costs, and more -
all included with membership.
Navigating the complexities of the healthcare system can be daunting for anyone. From understanding insurance plans to comparing provider costs, most of us often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information required to make informed decisions. This confusion can be tragic if you are injured or ill, and can lead to missed opportunities for high-quality care, overpaying for services, and increased stress. Patient Power USA’s Health Advocates Team steps in for you as a gamechanger, providing a trusted personal resource to help you navigate the healthcare maze.
• Confusing systems: Many of us struggle to interpret insurance policies, decipher medical bills, or understand in-network and out-of-network providers. These difficulties can lead to costly mistakes or delays in care.
• Wide cost disparities: Healthcare prices can vary by over 300%, even within the same network, leaving you at risk of paying far more than necessary for comparable services.
• Frequent billing errors: Studies reveal that more than 30% of medical bills contain errors, often resulting in overcharges that you may not notice or know how to dispute.
We’ve arranged for a Health Advocates Team consisting of groups of highly trained professionals who work to eliminate these pain points, empowering our members to make smarter, more cost-effective decisions. They serve as a personal healthcare concierge, offering a wide range of services that simplify each stage of the healthcare journey. Here are some ways they can help:
1. Answering Your Insurance Questions
If you often have questions about your coverage (What’s included? Which providers are in-network? How much will a procedure cost?), our health advocates group provides clear, straightforward answers, ensure our members understand their benefits, and help you avoid unexpected expenses.
2. Coordinating Your Care Options
From finding a specialist to scheduling appointments, navigating the healthcare system is time-consuming and confusing. Advocates help streamline this process for you by explaining available care options so members can receive the right care at the right time.
3. Resolving Your Billing Issues
With over a third of medical bills containing errors, it’s easy to be overcharged for services.
In many cases you might never know you are overpaying.
Advocates are skilled negotiators who review bills, identify inaccuracies, and resolve disputes with providers or insurance companies.
They can also negotiate discounts or set up manageable payment arrangements for members facing high costs.
4. Saving You Money
Understanding the cost of care is critical to making informed decisions.
The Health Advocates team utilizes transparency tools to help you compare costs for providers, procedures, and prescriptions.
This can save you money, empowering you to choose high-quality, cost-effective care options, reducing unnecessary expenses.
We help our members become smarter consumers, capable of making informed decisions that prioritize both your health and your financial well-being.
