About PSI
PSI is the "ground breaking" 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization of its kind. For nearly two decades, PSI has helped people who live with certain chronic illnesses or conditions locate suitable health insurance coverage and access ways to satisfy expensive co-payments. PSI provides assistance with the cost of health insurance premiums associated with COBRAs, State High Risk Pools, Open enrollment, Guaranteed Issue policies, HIPAA conversion policies; and prescriptions co-payments associated with private insurance as well as with Medicare Parts B and D.
PSI-A.C.C.E.S.S.® Program
The PSI staff and Board of Directors are happy to announce that the A.C.C.E.S.S.® (Advocating for Chronic Conditions, Entitlements, and Social Services) program recently became a service provided by PSI in February 2009. What does this mean for patients and how can the community/industry benefit from the A.C.C.E.S.S.® program? As recently mentioned in a press release, the A.C.C.E.S.S.® program will provide Social Security and disability representation to patients diagnosed with Bleeding Disorders, Alpha 1, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Primary Immune Deficiency. It is our hope to expand this list of disease areas in the future to include many of the programs PSI currently covers.
President of PSI, Dr. Dana Kuhn, stated that he is “excited to include this value added service among our existing programs. It is just one step closer to meeting the total needs and challenges of patients with expensive illnesses.”
In addition to providing Social Security and disability representation, the A.C.C.E.S.S.® credentialed attorney staff members can provide legal advice and assistance with insurance related concerns such as Medicare and Medicaid, as well as help patients explore eligibility for continuation of health insurance under federal law (COBRA and HIPAA), and alternative sources of coverage, such as state high-risk insurance pools. If you know of a patient who is in need of any of the services mentioned above, please contact the PSI A.C.C.E.S.S.® staff at 1-888-700-7010.
