Medical billing has become one of the most confusing and frustrating parts of the healthcare experience. For many patients and caregivers, reviewing statements filled with unfamiliar codes, unexpected charges, and vague line items can feel overwhelming. When combined with the emotional stress of managing a health condition, medical bills can become a significant burden.
That’s where a health advocate steps in. These trained professionals are changing the way patients deal with healthcare expenses. At Paraway Health, our advocates provide the support you need to feel empowered, not lost, when reviewing your medical bills.
Medical bills are often filled with complex information that most patients aren’t trained to interpret. Bills typically include a variety of elements—procedure codes, itemized charges, and insurance adjustments. Without expert help, it can be difficult to know if the charges are correct or if you’re paying more than necessary.
In fact, studies show that up to 80% of medical bills contain errors. From duplicate charges to incorrect procedure codes, these mistakes can result in significant overpayments if left unaddressed.
That’s why reviewing your bills and getting support to do so is more important than ever.
A health advocate is a professional who helps patients and caregivers navigate the medical system. Their role includes assisting with clinical decisions, coordinating care, managing insurance issues, and reviewing and negotiating medical bills. Health advocates bring a background in healthcare, billing, or insurance, making them uniquely qualified to reduce the stress and cost associated with complex medical paperwork.
There are several types of advocates. Some focus on overall patient navigation. Others specialize in billing support or insurance negotiations. At Paraway Health, our advocates many of whom are registered nurses are cross-trained to assist with all of the above, depending on your needs.
The benefits of working with a health advocate go far beyond interpreting your bill.
Advocates can negotiate with hospitals and providers on your behalf, especially when you're facing high out-of-pocket costs. They identify and correct billing errors that may otherwise go unnoticed, such as duplicate charges, upcoding, or services you didn’t receive. They also help you understand your insurance policy, maximize your benefits, and file or appeal claims when necessary.
For many patients, these services result in thousands of dollars in savings—and significantly reduced stress.
Health advocates have helped patients reduce bills from several thousand dollars down to a fraction of the original amount. Whether it's correcting overcharges or securing financial assistance, the savings are real and the relief is immediate.
At Paraway Health, we've helped clients appeal denied insurance claims, uncover hidden billing errors, and create manageable payment plans. We help patients focus on healing—not fighting paperwork.
There are clear benefits to having a trained advocate review your bills and communicate with your providers:
You’ll save money by avoiding unnecessary or incorrect charges. You’ll gain clarity on what you owe and why. You’ll get help navigating insurance claims, including submitting appeals when necessary. Most importantly, you’ll feel supported and confident instead of overwhelmed and confused.
Not every health advocate offers the same level of service or expertise. When choosing someone to help with your medical bills, look for the following:
Make sure the advocate has a background in healthcare, billing, or insurance. Ask for references or reviews to confirm their track record. Look for someone who specializes in your area of concern, whether that’s hospital billing, Medicare navigation, or insurance disputes.
