A private patient advocate is sometimes called a health advocate, professional advocate, medical navigator, or medical advocate. A private patient advocate is an unbiased individual who is not affiliated with a specific health system or insurance company. He or she is someone who works for YOU to help navigate you through your health challenges. In addition, with a private patient advocate you never have to feel alone. We can help with a variety of challenges including; new diagnoses, undiagnosed symptoms, rare disorders, cancer, elderly care management, medical billing, and insurance issues.
