Understood Care
Learn to speak up with clarity and calm in health visits. Your advocate is a coach and partner who helps turn worries into a simple plan and clear words you can use with your care team.
Self advocacy helps if you feel rushed, forget questions, or manage new diagnoses, many specialists, complex medicines, or a loved one’s care and want visits to feel less stressful.
You learn to make a short agenda, share symptoms and goals in plain language, ask focused questions, request referrals or second opinions, and use portal and coverage tools.
Sessions by phone or video fit your schedule. Together you set goals, practice key phrases, and review what happened after visits so you leave with a clear plan and follow up.
Your advocate can schedule visits, send reminders, coordinate records between clinics, support refills and prior authorizations, and help with costs, transport, and key forms.
Common goals include feeling confident, understanding choices, and avoiding surprise bills. Bring your top concerns, medication list, recent notes, and insurance information.
Self advocacy support is often covered by Medicare and many Advantage plans. We explain any costs in advance. Call 646 904 4027 or book at https://app.understoodcare.com.
