Why Healthcare Advocacy Partners?
When you don’t know what to do, where to turn next, or what options to consider, Healthcare Advocacy Partners will help you sort out complicated healthcare issues.
When you or a family member has a serious illness, chances are you feel frightened by and lost in our confusing medical system. People who face important health care decisions benefit from a knowledgeable guide who can help navigate the myriad of available choices.
Healthcare Advocacy Partners guides you through the medical maze.
Given the constraints on your physician’s time, the abundance of information, and the pressure from insurers to push the cheapest approach, we help you:
- Understand new diagnoses, interpret test results, and evaluate treatment options
- Know how your personal preferences and values may affect medical decisions
- Find highly regarded specialists and hospitals
Healthcare Advocacy Partners will:
- Confidentially review your concerns and medical records
- Research the diagnoses and treatment options
- Help find sources of excellent care and/or second opinions
Healthcare Advocacy Partners serves as an interpreter between you and your medical care providers, including going to appointments with you if needed. We provide information that empowers clients to confidently select and take the next steps.
Healthcare Advocacy Partners does not do any of the following:
- Perform physical exams
- Make diagnoses
- Order diagnostic tests, although we may suggest tests to discuss with the care provider
- Refer to physicians directly, although we do recommend physicians when appropriate
- Prescribe medicine or other treatments
Healthcare Advocacy Partners is your respectful and supportive guide through the medical maze.
