While visiting out-of-town relatives, Finna M. began to have contractions resulting in her baby’s birth 2 months premature. Case managers from her HMO arrived in the ER attempting to move the child some 50 miles away from Finna “to their contracted facility, to saves costs”. A call to the 24 hour Patients Are Powerful hotline, stopped the HMO from transporting the 4 pound, 9 ounce child. Finna is forever grateful to Patients are Powerful for keeping her child by her side, “No one else would have been able to keep Emily with me”.

Perry S. chose to get a second opinion when his cardiologist “strongly suggested” a valve-replacement operation. The second opinion cardiologist didn’t see the immediate need for the procedure and Perry was treated with medication. Recently, the cardiologist who wanted to operate has suspended his practice and is facing several allegations of Medicare fraud for performing unnecessary cardiac procedures. According to Perry, “Patients Are Powerful saved my life”.

Many hundreds have used Patients Are Powerful to get the prescription they require, formulary or not. And many more have requested their medical records. Sharon B. writes, “Thanks to Patients Are Powerful, I now realize that I must manage my medical conditions and I have found that empowered patients DO get better, high quality medical care”.
