"For the 41 million un- or under-insured, medical discount programs are often the best option. These individuals and families are faced with the reality of limited funds, which medical discount programs help stretch as far as possible. For many, however, even the very best discounts are not enough, especially when medical bills get into range of thousands of dollars. Without insurance, these individuals and families are left bearing a financial weight they cannot withstand.
For medical discount providers and wholesalers, The Karis Group provides a Patient Advocacy service, a much needed compliment that addresses the challenges described above that many individuals and families face.
Patient Advocacy is a service designed to help the discount program members with their medical bills by providing a safety net when no other options are available. The Karis Group's approach to Patient Advocacy is hands-on, high-touch. For patients who find themselves unable to pay their medical bills before or after service by any reasonable means, Karis comes along by the patient's side, advocating on their behalf with the provider to find an amicable solution for both parties. The Karis Group pursues a wide range of options, from government entitlement programs to negotiated settlements and payment plans.
Over the last seven years, The Karis Group has worked with several companies and thousands of individuals nationwide, saving them millions of dollars when financial resources were limited or when standard discounts were not enough."

Ameriplan's Patient Advocacy Program is administered by The Karis Group. The following quote has been taken directly from their website in regards to the help that they are able to give to members of medical discount programs:
"John owned his own construction company and medical insurance was unfortunately low on the priority list. When a symptom-free aneurysm burst, however, causing a stroke, Jim had to be airlifted to his local acute care hospital where it was decided that he needed more extensive care at a regional center. Four weeks later the medical bills, including the flight, two hospitals and rehab, exceeded $46,000. John did not qualify for Medicaid and he lacked the funds to pay-off bills of this size. After much negotiation, Karis reached a settlement with all of the parties, avoiding financial ruin for John. Savings: Around $42,000."
