A Better Way Professional Health Advocacy, LLC
About My Services:
- Type(s) of Advocacy: Medical Billing & Claims, Mental / Behavioral Health, Health Management, Medical / Navigational, Health Insurance
After working more than 25 years as a Pharmacist, I returned to school at the Center for Patient Partnerships at UW-Madison and earned my national certification as a Board Certified Patient Advocate. As a Pharmacist, I often worked with patients who were “falling through the cracks” of health care. I would advocate for them as best I could; with providers, insurance companies, and sometimes family members and caregivers. Those experiences motivated me to transition to full time advocacy.
My mission is to align with patients and caregivers to successfully navigate our complex healthcare system. I dig into the details of insurance coverage and medical bills; facilitate communication between clients, providers, facilities and insurance; and help clients build a health safety net through education, strategic planning and access to local resources.
My passion lies in walking alongside people on their healthcare journey. I help them understand their doctors, their care, and their insurance. It gives me deep satisfaction to be able to bring understanding and peace to the process of navigating care, especially those who struggle with mental health disorders and substance use disorder.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, I can provide services to clients any in the US and can be included in telehealth visits via phone or video conference.
