Through Patient Care I was able to obtain a very much needed
form to approve something for my daughter. I would not have been
able to get this form without the help of my Advocate. LOVE PATIENT
CARE. I call at least twice a month and am never disappointed!My
Advocate was able to turn a$1,800 dollar MRI bill into an $85
dollar copay and dug deeply into a surgery my wife had and found
anover payment of $80. You guys are great!
