Imagine this: you call your insurance cohttps://www.patientsrising.org/mpany with a simple question about an outstanding charge on your account. They can't answer it and direct you to your doctor’s office, which then blames the pharmacy, who tells you to call your insurance back. How many times does the average American find themselves in this frustrating loop, trying to get basic information about a healthcare system that should be working for them? Too many to count. That's where Patients Rising comes in.
 
Patients Rising is a grassroots patient advocacy organization dedicated to finding comprehensive policy solutions to improve patient access to healthcare. They also operate a helpline staffed with "navigators" who assist patients with everything from billing and medical bill support to arranging transportation to doctor appointments.
