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.
Watch Mike and Ann’s story here.
