Patient Advocates Are Healthcare System Navigators
The Patient Navigator, Outreach & Chronic Disease Prevention Act of 2005 signed by President Bush on June 29, 2005 will provide patients with an advocate at their side to help them navigate today's complicated health care system.

Patient Advocate Group was formed in 1996 to assist patients to overcome barriers within the healthcare system and to resolve private & public insurance issues for "Patient, Seniors, families, employers, doctor's offices, etc.
  1. Hospital Bill Code Review- Hospital or Doctor bill charges verified  to make sure each code charged is valid, no erroneous or unnecessary items are charged on your bill, etc. We check each procedure code you are charged against the average charge for the same procedure by your zip code. We then ask the hospital to make these corrections on your bill. The result will be to reduce your bill.  
  2. Medical Bill Negotiation- Negotiate percentage discounts on hospital & doctor medical bills based on ability to pay for a reduction of your total bill. Locate help to pay your bills.
