A personal financial advocate is your support
and guidance through the twists and turns of your life. We help
you with your personal financial solutions. Your personal financial
advocate can help you to work through your unexpected credit difficulties,
helping you with your creditors, and help you to structure a workable
living expense budget for yourself.
Today, with the paperwork and red tape that some individuals have
to go through to get assistance, and the bureaucracy that can take
time to process applications and filings, can cause you much stress
and confusion.
For some, financial institutions and creditors seem to speak another
language.
Non-medical organizations can do financial advocacy for healthcare
clients. Our professionals have familiarity with health insurance,
medical, financial assistance programs, lending products, billing
and accounting processes, government programs, and real estate.
We are fulltime members of the social services team in Arizona.
We are responsible for coordinating and facilitating payments and
services.
Many individuals have fears about being removed from a particular
program for economic reasons or for shrinking budgets that produce
restrictions on eligibility.
For some individuals managing financial obligations
and their medical treatment regimens at the same time cause them
to become overwhelmed and they may miss appointments and miss opportunities
for financial assistance.
Other individuals will fall out of the application process because
of the complexity of the Medicaid and other insurance systems.
We find that some individuals with chemical dependencies or mental
illnesses have acute difficulty with paperwork management. Our
personal financial advocacy staff works diligently with these individuals
to ensure follow through. The outcome is usually positive: the
individuals receive the medical care and prescriptions needed and
the anxiety related to their ability to pay is greatly alleviated. |
