A good private health advocate is worth their weight in gold when it comes to navigating the health care system. They restore peace of mind, provide options that may not be readily visible, conduct time-consuming research and have loyalty only to you. As a result, their services come at a cost. Fortunately, there are many payment options and pricing models to assist in obtaining the services you need. Some advocates charge an hourly rate, some charge a flat fee for services provided and some work on retainer.
Tennessee Health Advocates utilizes all of these pricing models as we strive to tailor our services to your needs. A flat rate would be appropriate in cases where you have a set of medical bills you would like reviewed and organized for a specific health care incident. For example, you fell and ended up in the emergency room with a fractured bone. The fracture has since healed and you just need those bills organized and reviewed. We would most likely provide a flat rate quote to provide that service.
Maybe that bill review/organization revealed that you had been inaccurately billed for a procedure by one of your providers. At the conclusion of your flat rate service contract, you might choose to continue services and have us correct the billing issue. Due to the nature of this service, we would most likely quote you an hourly rate. If you wanted to continue with the service to correct the billing issue, we would enter into a new service agreement outlining the new service request at the hourly rate.
Perhaps you want to use our services for an ongoing period of time due to a chronic health issue. Depending on your needs, we would likely offer a retainer option since your time needs might fluctuate from month to month.
Whatever your specific need, we will tailor our service agreement to best meet your needs. Please click below to schedule your free telephone consultation to discuss your situation. We are here to help you.
