What Is a Patient Advocate?
A patient advocate is a trained professional who assists individuals and their families in navigating the complexities of the healthcare system. They provide clear and understandable answers to questions and support informed decision-making tailored to the individual's personal needs. Independent advocates prioritize the patient's needs over those of insurance companies or healthcare corporations, potentially saving time and money by ensuring access to appropriate care and timely information.
