In 1976 Dr. Bowers was asked by the federal government to design and manage a national domestic intelligence network co-sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Department of Education. This mammoth undertaking required the organization of hospitals, clinics, medical examiners and undercover agents in 43 cities, to analyze and report every drug and alcohol abuse case to a national office, and the management of a huge national data base and epidemiological forecasting system which tracked and predicted new smuggling routes, diversion patterns of legal drugs from manufacturers, and public health epidemics related to drug and alcohol abuse. The resulting data base became one of the primary data bases from which the FDA formed national regulatory policy regarding the control of both pharmaceutical and illegally manufactured drugs. Dr. Bowers was on call 24 hours a day to the White House, the DEA, and to the FDA, where he testified before many hearings. In the course of this 6-year project, he became head of the Government Services Division of IMS America, Ltd. the government contractor managing the project. While there, he started and managed the
At the request of the U.S. Government, and the World Health Organization, during the 1980s Dr. Bowers provided assistance to cabinet level executives in the following countries, designing new public health data bases and health care epidemiological forecasting systems for health, criminal justice and military agencies:

In 1983, Dr. Bowers left IMS America and founded the Phoenix International Corporation, a provider of healthcare services, where he served as Chairman and President from 1983 to 1985. Where there Dr. Bowers designed, financed, and developed the prototype for the
In 1986 Dr. Bowers founded Horizon Healthcare Group, a provider of healthcare network services. At Horizon, he designed the prototype of a national network of health care providers which would evolve over the next 20 years into the nation's largest network of healthcare providers—forging more than 1,300,000 doctors, dentists, hospitals, clinics, home nursing, long-term care and other providers into a national network which reduces the cost of their professional services and products up to 50% to persons without insurance. This model has proven so successful that it has been copied by many insurance and marketing companies. In the last 10 years more than 13 million persons in the
National Health Partners was then formed in 2001 and still another expansion of the original Horizon network took place between 2001-2005 at National Health Partners, where the discount at the point of service network, now called CARExpress, was doubled in size to more than a million providers, and the company began to take the product into retail giants such as CVS Pharmacy and to offer access of the network to union groups and combine it with insurance plans.
Dr. Bowers left National Health Partners in 2005 to form Fidelity National Medical Solutions, Inc, a new venture primarily focused on new macro solutions to the national medical crisis. In contrast to the old Horizon, POWERx and CARExpress networks of his former companies Fidelity National focuses primarily on high technology macro solutions to insurance claims processing, reduction of medical fraud and waste, and new insurance products which can provide low-cost insurance solutions to the almost 100 million Americans with either no health insurance or only very minimal coverage. Whereas National Health Partners targeted individual consumers almost exclusively, target markets for Fidelity National are primarily large self-insured companies, city state and federal governments, unions, insurance companies, and third party administrators. However, Fidelity National plans to utilize the CARExpress Network of National Health Partners to supplement its insurance product line.
