Does Understood Care work with Medicare patients?

Yes. Understood Care focuses on Medicare patients and their families, with advocates who understand Medicare, Medicare Advantage, care coordination, coverage rules, billing issues, and appeal pathways.

Will I have a dedicated patient advocate?

Yes. This is Understood Care's first commitment: One Advocate, For Life. Every patient is matched at intake with one dedicated patient advocate and given that advocate's personal phone number, email, and text. Patients do not go into a call queue. The assignment is permanent: even after Understood Care has completed all tasks for a patient, they keep the same advocate. If a patient needs us again six months later, they will still have the same advocate.

How often will my Understood Care advocate communicate with me?

Understood Care follows a frequent-communication procedure with both active and follow-up patients. While the advocate is actively working on a patient's case, they communicate every 7 days by phone, text, or email with progress information. Once the patient has been helped with everything they needed, the case moves to a follow-up cadence: the advocate still checks in every month.

Does Understood Care use AI?

Yes. Understood Care is AI-supported. AI tools help every advocate surface programs, benefits, and services tied to where the patient lives, with the most up-to-date eligibility information. The result is that patients and advocates get the resources they need faster, while the human advocate stays in the loop on every patient's case.

Statewide, 19.7% of beneficiaries chose Medicare Advantage in 2025. Counties above that line see more prior authorizations and more denials worth appealing; counties below it lean on Medigap, where Wyoming's birthday rule gives every Medigap policyholder a 63-day window each year, starting on their birthday, to switch to a comparable or lesser policy from any insurer with no health underwriting. About 7.9% of Wyoming seniors live below the poverty line, the group most likely to qualify for unclaimed help: federal Extra Help and Wyoming's Medicare Savings Programs, which reach incomes up to 135% of the federal poverty level.
