What is Healthcare Advocacy?

A healthcare advocate navigates the system alongside you, becoming an essential part of your care team. They coordinate your healthcare by gathering your medical records, keeping your specialists in sync, and staying on top of every appointment, follow-up, and billing question.

Four ways your advocate helps

Oversee your Medicare coverage

Your advocate explains what your plan covers, and what it doesn't, across Part B, Part D, and Medicare Advantage extras. When a claim is wrongly denied, they take over the appeal until it's resolved.

Coordinate your medical care

When your care is split across several doctors, no one sees the whole picture. Your advocate does. They coordinate your specialists, pull your records, and line up referrals, so you never have to chase anything down.

Maintain your daily care needs

Your advocate arranges rides to your appointments, keeps your prescriptions filled, and connects you to benefits you may be missing, like food assistance and in-home support programs.

Drive down your costs

Your advocate reviews your bills for errors, negotiates the balances you owe, and makes sure you're enrolled in every financial assistance and prescription savings program you qualify for.

When to bring in an advocate

You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most people reach out at one of these moments.

A new or serious diagnosis

Suddenly there are specialists, tests, and decisions, and no one coordinating them. Your advocate connects the dots.

A denied claim or a bill that looks wrong

Something you need isn't covered, or the charge doesn't add up. Your advocate handles the appeal.

Caring for a parent from a distance

When you can't be on every call. Your advocate becomes your eyes, ears, and voice.

Too many doctors, no coordination

Records can get lost, or new doctors and specialists fall behind. Your advocate keeps your case updated.

Drowning in medical bills

Bills can pile up. Your advocate helps you manage them and looks for errors, and ways to keep the balance down.

What does it cost?

Hiring a private patient advocate usually runs $200 to $500 an hour. Turnout's healthcare advocacy is covered by Medicare, so most members pay nothing out of pocket. No hidden fees and no surprise bills.

How is this different from the advocate at the hospital?

There's a few roles classified as "advocate," but they are not the same.

  • Your insurance case manager works for the insurer, whose priorities don't always match yours.

  • A geriatric care manager focuses on aging and daily-living needs, usually privately and out of pocket.

  • The hospital patient advocate works for the hospital, helps while you're admitted, and is gone once you're discharged.

  • A Turnout advocate works only for you, across every doctor, plan, and bill, for as long as you need, and it's covered by Medicare.
