Working with an independent/private board certified patient advocate helps you navigate the complexities of today’s healthcare system with a focus solely on meeting your needs and goals.
With the guidance, resources, and advocacy services Beacon Patient Solutions LLC provides, our clients are equipped to make informed decisions about their care or that of their loved one.
We work with you to offer a personalized combination of services that meet your needs and reflect your values.
Consultation & Guidance Services:
Consultations: 30 Minute Or 60 Minute Consultations
There are many ways healthcare consumers can benefit from working with an independent patient advocate. We often work with clients over weeks or months to help them reach their healthcare advocacy goals. Sometimes, the opportunity to ask questions or talk through a healthcare situation is the only immediate service a prospective client may initially need.
To assist, we offer the opportunity to schedule a consultation or consultations to meet that need.
Only Individual consultation time is included patient advocacy consultation (30 or 60 minute). Additional fees apply for any requested post-consultation work for research, referrals, patient education, and resources. Post-consultation work will be billed at our hourly rate.
We’ll work with you to identify, prepare, compile, and organize your healthcare advocacy goals, priorities, needs and organize all your important documents (PLAN). Creating your PLAN will give you the peace of mind to know that your important paperwork, support system, and other resources are in place.
Your healthcare advocacy PLAN is a dynamic document that will reflect your healthcare concerns, values, goals, and wishes and can be changed or updated at any time.
You can get started organizing your information
by purchasing our E-book: My Health Information.
