Why You Need A Patient Advocate
More than 1 in 4 Americans have trouble paying their medical bills, according to a 2016 Kaiser Family Foundation and New York Times survey.
The American Journal of Medicine reports hospital bills are the biggest expense for those experiencing bankruptcy with the average hospital stay in the United States at $5,220 per day.
Overall health care spending in the U.S. was more than $3.5 trillion in 2019.
Are you confident your insurance company is paying what it should?
Prime Patient Advocates compares what is covered with what is actually paid. If your insurance company does not cover what it should, we will act on your behalf and advocate for appropriate payment.
Do you have time to file an appeal with your insurance company?
No need to worry! Prime Patient Advocates removes the pressure from having to negotiate and settle with your insurance company. We will make the calls and track the emails throughout the claims appeal process and provide you with regular progress updates.
Are you stuck in the middle between your care provider and insurance company?
The insurance company blames the doctor. The doctor blames the insurance company. This is a typical scenario. Prime Patient Advocates takes the personal relationship out of the equation by acting on your behalf in claims negotiations and appeals. We will also work directly with providers to help reduce balances and set up payment plans for our clients.
