Health Advocate, Inc. is a US national health advocacy, patient advocacy and assistance company.[1] The privately held company was founded in 2001 by former Aetna executives[2] and is headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, currently run by Teleperformance. The company employs registered nurses, medical directors and benefits specialists[3][4] who address a range of health care and health insurance issues.[5] Personal Health Advocates can help members locate providers, address errors on medical bills, answer questions about coverage denials and assist with insurance appeals.[6]
The company's products include brands called Wellness Advocate, Benefits Gateway+Health Information Dashboards, EAP and Worklife, Pricing Decision Support, Personalized Health Communications, Chronic Care Management, and HR. The company offers a direct-to-consumer advocacy service, called Health Proponent to individuals who are not part of groups.
Products and services
Core advocacy
- Clinical Assistance – medical and pharmaceutical advice and research.[7]
Clinical Assistance helps members understand tests, treatments, and medications recommended or prescribed by physicians, facilitating the transfer of medical records, X-rays, and lab results before a scheduled appointment with a new physician, arranging for home-care equipment after discharge from a hospital, facilitating review of test results with another physician for confirmation of diagnosis, consolidating a multiple-day testing schedule for members with special needs, arranging hospice and other services for the terminally ill, facilitating transfer from a community hospital to a tertiary care facility.[8]
- Administrative Assistance helps resolve claims and benefits issues and helps find assistance outside the health plan.[9]
Coverage
Employers generally offer the service to their employees as a benefit and extension to their healthcare insurance plans. The employee's immediate family is also covered. This includes spouses, dependent children, parents, and parents-in-law.[10]
Those whose employers do not offer the service can purchase it from Health Advocate's direct-to-consumer arm Health Proponent.
