Need solutions for the medication, medical appliances and/or medical travel that you can't afford? READ EMPOWER Yourself.
A Health Information Management professional, I survived a life-threatening emergency with information that only a person of my professional experience would know. And I’m sharing it!
B'SD 13 Av, 5775 As if headlines weren't scary enough, yesterday's edition ofMedPage Today looked at a serious issue: When it comes to health care spending, "We must face the fact that we largely have been asking the wrong questions for many years," says Stuart Guterman. Wedges shmedges. You need help to lower your medical bills now. Ask your medical team and pharmacist for solutions. They tend to exist (too far and too few, sad to say) or to be possible, but only for people who seek them out. Need more cost-cutting information? Look for relief in the Global Resources section of the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism.
Fill your question sheets with necessary answers.
B'SD 14 Av, 5774 I've known of medical professionals harassed by their bosses and by a medical system that undermines their health, let alone that of their patients. I did not find many people who believed my comments about the problem. Today I found this online article and felt vindicated:
There are medical and mental health professionals in fine mental health who are ready to help you. Learn about them, and about first-class organizations willing to pay part or all of your specific medical costs, in

Face Your Future with Optimism. Fear factors should not be part of healthcare's background. Protect yourself - and your doctor - by protesting mistreatment to medical societies.
B'SD 2 Av, 5773 It's a somber time on the Jewish calendar, the first 9 Days of Av. They culminate on a day on which we pray very hard to continue to improve our characters and to earn the Messianic era. In my day-to-day life of pursuing knowledge about medical information to benefit my readers, I took a hard look at this April news item from MedPage Today some time ago: Docs’ Charting Falls Short of ICD-10 Demands SAN FRANCISCO -- Nearly 65% of clinical documentation doesn’t contain enough information for coders to use for billing under the upcoming ICD-10coding system, a survey of patient charts found.full story
I understood a serious need to know
what ICD-10 coding portends for us mortals.
Today I enrolled in a Health Information Management aka Medical Coding Skills course in which I'll learn ICD-10 medical coding. It becomes effective in October 2014. Controversial and PRICEY Obamacare probably goes into effect after mid-term 2014 elections. Some timing for a Healthcare Affordability Act, hmmm? Medical coding, by the way, is a means of translating entire medical records into a series of numbers. Those numbers tell insurers, medical researchers and other people in the medical world
Exactly what the patient suffered from,
What was done to relieve their situation, and
What failed
without having to read lots and lots and LOTS of medical documents. Medical coding is a sophisticated method of communication that accomplishes many positive purposes. I've only given you a brief overview of all that in this blogpost. Let me know if you have questions about the forthcoming changes to worldwide medical coding practices. I'll answer them if I can.

Face Your Future with Optimism. Face change with adequate information.
I refrained from blogging a few days as I prayed, literally prayed, that Americans would not be suckered in to the misguided policies of Obamacare. I knew it to be modeled on previous "health care" plans that have forced victims of those plans into medical tourism, bribes and utter misery.
The next phase to watch for is the dearth of doctors willing to work as slaves and rising numbers of Americans unable to pay insurance premiums. American healthcare now goes under the table, hidden from view. Bribes, subterfuge and appalling statistics to follow. Americans will be going to Canada and elsewhere for competent, timely healthcare (it's been happening for a while) IF they survive the present situation well enough to seek out genuine life support.
Here's how to help pitiful Americans who need assistance paying for the medical care, medication, medical appliances, medical transportation and other necessities of overcoming illnesses and disability issues:
They can read the soothing, cost-cutting information in a book praised by mental health and medical professionals
The first half of the book provides insights for calming down from all the stresses of a given disability, medical or mental health situation. The second half is a Global Resources section that clues you in to charitable organizations willing to pay part or all of your specific medical bills.
I used my professional background in Health Information Management to write the EMPOWER Yourself book. I created a Global Resources section at the back to clue my readers into charitable organizations that pay for part or all of some specific medical bills if the patient can’t afford the costs.
You’re Latino with a liver disease but can’t afford medical care?
See page 108.
Need air transportation for an adult or child’s medical treatment?
EMPOWER Yourself lists several organizations ready to fly you

Learn how to meet your needs when you read the book.
There are plenty of reasons that I chose the “Face your medical problems with dignity. Face your future with optimism” motto for my book-related blog and Self-Help coaching services. An improving and protected sense of dignity plus ever-better optimism and solid information help ill people to cope with medical, mental health and disability challenges.
You can overcome despair that way, and allow yourself to heal emotionally, even physically despite devastating setbacks.

A medical crisis is happening to you, if you're American. Use your tissues and handkerchiefs with my blessings borne of experience. GOD gives you Permission to Weep. And you can say that to any critics after explaining that "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To." See pages 4-6 about that.
