Statistics show that most employees don’t know the basics of their benefits until they need them. Furthermore, most HR staffs know that traditional methods of benefits communication have not been very successful.

A personal health advocate is a trained professional typically a Registered Nurse who understands the intricacies of the healthcare system and how to navigate through it. This person works with Health Advocate’s team of administrative experts who handle claims, benefits, grievances, and paperwork issues until a member’s particular problem is resolved.
Health Advocate does not replace a member’s health insurance or doctor’s care. It provides a service to lean on to obtain unbiased, objective informa-tion that will help members feel more comfortable with the health decisions they will ultimately have to make.
We all need someone in our corner to handle those stressful health situations which seem to take forever to resolve, such as finding care for an aging parent, locating a specialist, finding someone to provide a second opinion, or pursuing a denied claim. A personal health advocate fills this need by giving members peace of mind and reducing the time and aggravation typically associated with navi-gating the healthcare and insurance systems. Health Advocate is the largest provider of these advocacy services. They currently serve two million members and can provide this valuable service to all of your employees.
