Your Care is At Our Core

Physicians are compassionate healers and their patients’ biggest allies. They persevered through years of medical school and residency to build connections with patients and provide the highest quality of care. However, all too often, physicians find themselves stuck between a desire to connect with patients and a need to navigate seemingly endless red tape and bureaucracy.

From insurer prior authorizations to payer reimbursements that don’t cover the cost of care, physicians are increasingly being asked to seek approval and to do more with less. They face growing challenges ignited by battles over the COVID-19 pandemic, prevalence of mis- and dis-information, and the politicalization of health care. All of these factors lead to intrusions into the patient-physician relationship and it's physicians who are often left with the blame.

The best days for physicians come when they are close at hand with their patients, facing challenges head on and providing support to patients in their journey to health. Physicians’ worst days come when they spend valuable time fighting with third parties to ensure patients can access the care they need. 

The patient -physician relationship is essential

Physicians and patients agree that the doctor-patient relationship is essential to making the best health care decisions. They know that establishing a meaningful relationship is necessary to building trust and providing the most effective care and treatment. After all, physicians are supporting their patients through some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives.

Join us in pushing back against the bureaucratic red tape of healthcare and advocating for what matters most – time for physicians to connect with their patients.
