Physician Compare
Patient Story Video
Now Available
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
produced a video featuring the true story of Mike and his wife Ann, two
Medicare beneficiaries who use the Physician
Compare website to help search for clinicians best suited to
meet their healthcare needs. In this video, Mike and Ann share their
healthcare journey, including the struggles they faced finding specialists
conveniently located in their area. They discuss the ease of searching
Physician Compare online and their confidence in finding reliable and up to
date information on the website.
The video is one way CMS is raising awareness about Physician
Compare, a tool to help patients and their caregivers make informed decisions
about the healthcare they and their loved ones receive as part of Medicare.
The website is one of a suite of Compare websites that CMS currently offers
to help Medicare patients and caregivers navigate the many healthcare
options available to them. The Compare websites also serve to drive
improvements and innovations throughout the healthcare system by publicly
reporting performance information.
