Take the Stress Out of Healthcare with a Patient Advocate!
Feeling overwhelmed by the healthcare system?
You’re not alone!
The healthcare system has gotten more and more complicated over the last few decades and doctors typically only have 15 minutes or less to spend with patients. That’s a very short window of time to fully absorb what they have to say and figure out the right questions to ask.
That’s why we are here, let us be your guide!
Our team of compassionate nurse (RNs & NPs) patient advocates are here to make your journey through the healthcare system smooth and stress-free.
From understanding complicated medical jargon to coordinating appointments and treatments, we've got you covered.
With our support, you can focus on your well-being while we handle the rest.
Say goodbye to confusion and hello to peace of mind with your very own personalized care plan!

FAQs
We understand how unique everyone’s situation is and we want to try to answer any and all questions you have about your specific situation as early on as possible. We understand how time sensitive things can be. Please review the FAQ’s below as they cover our most frequently asked questions.
-
We currently cover most of Massachusetts except Western MA, The Cape and Islands. We cover the Charleston area of SC and all of Beaufort County SC. We feel that getting to know you and you providers in person is an important part of advocacy, therefore we do not offer virtual advocacy.
-
Our services are not covered by Medicare or private health insurance.
Depending on the policy, some long term care insurance will reimburse for our services once it has been activated and the elimination period is completed.
We work specifically for you so we don't have insurance companies dictating what we can or cannot do.
We are looking out for your best interest.
-
We charge by the hour. When we first sign a contract together, you will be required to pay for 10 hours up front. Once that initial 10 hours is used up, we can discuss other payment options. We accept checks or credit cards.
-
There is no designated time frame to work with us. Most clients continue to work with us for many years. If for some reason things aren't working out, we will refund any unused portion of your retainer.
-
We do not provide personal care services. We work along with caregivers so that we can provide the best care for our clients.
-
We try our best to be available for our current clients in the event of an emergency. Unfortunately we are unable to take on emergency situations for non-clients due to the amount of preparation work required to intake a new client.
