Navigating the health insurance maze: services include help with health insurance issues, researching costs, claims review & preparation of appeals. I’ve been in the trenches and understand the challenges of our fragmented health care system. I can demystify these complexities to help you get to resolution. As an independent advocate, I’m not representing the interests of a hospital, insurance plan or corporate organization – I’m representing YOUR interests. I’m based in Seattle, I do phone/email consultation for other locations. initial phone consultation is at no cost. Free follow up services, up to one hour, if you donate to a health research or patient support group (on the honor system, let me know which one).
