You Bet Your Life! The Top 10 Reasons You Need a Professional Patient Advocate by Your Side: Get the Healthcare You Need and Deserve

The healthcare system has become almost unrecognizable: • Your doctor spends so little time with you. You don’t have enough time to get your questions answered! • None of your doctors talk to each other. No one coordinates your care. • They send you for so many tests; do you really need them all? • What happens if you are misdiagnosed or there is a mistake in your care? • And the cost… We know we are paying so much more for care than we ever did before! Is it possible to get the care we need at a price we can afford? Enter professional patient advocates; independent, empathetic, capable navigators and negotiators. Here is what you need to know about them, and how to go about finding a good advocate to help you.
