The Patient Advocate You Need

February 2020

We’re excited to be celebrating 2 years in business. Our business name (new in 2020) was chosen to reflect our growth and prominently highlight our goal for our advocacy work with every client - arriving at a SOLUTION.

We seek SOLUTIONS when a client is facing:

  • a denied insurance claim

  • an early discharge from the hospital or another facility

  • challenges communicating with their healthcare team

  • an inaccurate or surprise medical bill

  • an overwhelming amount of information about a recent diagnosis

  • the need for coordination of care

You can help others learn more about the importance and impact of working with an independent board certified patient advocate and the solutions I work toward simply by passing my name and this newsletter along to friends, family members, and colleagues.

Navigating the complexities of the healthcare system can be stressful and time consuming. Contact me so that I can help ease the burden.

Thank you for your support,
Ailene Gerhardt, MA, BCPA
Independent Board Certified Patient Advocate
Founder, Beacon Patient Solutions LLC
