You need an Advocate in your Corner – Especially when it comes to your Health!
Sometimes it just gets to the point where you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Managing your health care issues when you feel like giving up can be agonizing. All you want to do is get better – why does there have to be so much paperwork?
If you have medical care issues that require constant trips to the doctor, visits to the lab, and hours on the phone with insurance companies trying to figure out how much you actually are going to owe, an advocate is exactly what you need.
With our Health Advocacy benefit, you get a Personal Health Care Advocate to step in when you just can’t deal with another 30 minutes on hold. Each advocate is trained to understand complex medical issues, knows the right things to say to insurance representatives, can explain the difference between generic and brand name drugs to you, and be your guide while navigating the increasingly confusing world of the healthcare system.
When you have an advocate, everything gets easier! They can:
- Untangle messy insurance and medical billing issues
- Locate the right doctors, specialists, hospitals, dentists and pharmacies to deliver the best possible care
- Research treatments and inform you about your options
- Provide medical explanations you can understand
- Coordinate your care among multiple providers
- Arrange second opinions if you feel you are being misdiagnosed
- Transfer medical records and get copies for you
- Assist with eldercare and related healthcare issues
- Negotiate payment arrangements with providers and find options for non-covered services
- Provide information about generic drug options and prescription refill services
Whether you are seeking a new doctor, fighting over coverage, striving to make sense of lab results, or struggling to comprehend piles of bills, a Health Advocate can help you. When you are sick, paperwork and red tape is the last thing you should be concerned with – it simply adds stress and make you feel worse – so getting a pro to walk you through the processes so you can get feeling better is just common sense!
This benefit is huge – even if you only use it a few times each year, you could save well over what it costs as part of your subscription package. Best of all, Health Advocacy is only one of up to over 20 benefits you could be using, starting at just $15.95 per month. You could save five or ten times that amount in just one revised medical bill!
