Advocacy Services & Scope
What is the difference between a Patient Advocate and an Aging Life Care Manager?
A Patient Advocate helps individuals navigate the immediate healthcare system. This includes understanding medical information, attending appointments, and advocating for your needs during treatments and discharge.
An Aging Life Care Manager offers broader, long-term support focused on the entire aging journey. This includes long-term care planning, home care coordination, and managing financial or social concerns related to aging.
Can you attend medical appointments with me?
Yes! We provide crucial support during appointments. We are there to ask the right questions, take detailed notes, and ensure you fully understand your diagnosis and care plan before you leave.
How do you help me understand complex medical information?
We act as the translator between you and the healthcare system. We review diagnoses, treatments, and care plans and explain them in plain, simple language, ensuring you feel informed and confident in every decision.
How do you advocate for me during medical appointments?
We empower you by handling the details and ensuring your voice is heard. We:
Ask key questions to medical staff on your behalf.
Take detailed notes so you don't have to worry about forgetting information.
Clarify medical jargon and ensure you fully understand all instructions.
Ensure your concerns are addressed by the medical team.
Can you help me after an appointment or hospitalization?
Yes. Our support extends beyond the clinic. We review complex hospital discharge instructions, coordinate necessary follow-up appointments, and answer any urgent questions about medications or recovery.
Can my family members be involved in the process?
Absolutely. We encourage and welcome family participation to ensure everyone is informed and united in supporting the client’s care journey.
Do you assist with medical billing or insurance issues?
Yes! We review medical bills, dispute inaccurate charges, and ensure you are not overpaying. For complex insurance appeals or specialized legal matters, we can provide referrals to trusted experts.
Logistics & Coverage
Do you provide transportation to appointments?
No, we do not provide transportation ourselves, but we can meet you at your appointment. Additionally, if you are working with an Aging Life Care Manager, they can help you arrange and coordinate reliable transportation options.
