Next Step for Individuals
If you or a close family member has recently had the diagnosis of a serious, catastrophic illness or injury, you will want to join the dozens of AMC clients who have called us on their own to utilize the evaluation and coaching activities of AMC Next Step. If you feel vulnerable or frustrated or overwhelmed or any combination of these feelings, AMC Next Step can help. Let us help you sort out the next step that’s best for you and your family, so that you and they can get on with the healing, which is what medicine should be all about in the first place. Helping with the next step is what we do best.
This approach to improved health care is ideal for all persons, including the self-employed and those without a healthplan. Rather than have to sort through the quagmire of a complex healthcare delivery system while you’re most vulnerable and compromised, we can help you sort out what to do next, help guide your next step.
For details about Next Step, please scroll down to “Next Step: An Idea Whose Time Has Come.” The fee is $200.00.

Mission
The mission of American Medical Consumers (AMC) is to empower medical consumers by making the shift to consumer-directed health care meaningful and beneficial, helping them to save money and to improve their health. AMC was founded to deal with one issue – MEDICAL CONSUMERISM – based on the primacy of medical consumers realistically partnering with their doctors.
SHORT-TERM GOAL: To minimize the financial and health liabilities of patients, particularly those with severe and chronic disorders.
LONG-TERM GOAL: To improve the American healthcare delivery system by modernizing it to a knowledge-based collaboration between doctor and patient, in contrast to contract-based superimpositions on both doctors and patient.
History
AMC was founded in November 1992 as a California company with a nationwide impact. This company is presently a wholly owned subsidiary of the California corporation, The Neurofibromatosis Institute, Inc. Since its founding, AMC has engaged over 2100 clients. As healthcare delivery industry insiders, we have helped individual customers to
* Obtain access to enhanced health care
* Decrease medical bills
* Pursue grievances and lawsuits
* Improve relations with doctors and healthplans
As well, we have provided direct assistance to numerous employers, practitioners, medical groups, healthplans, scholars, journalists, government agencies and self-help groups. In short, AMC is an established leader in medical consumerism.
