Insurance Benefits Review and Cost Mitigation Strategy
Insurance plans are often difficult to interpret, particularly when you’re also focused on your loved one’s health. Many families are surprised by unexpected bills or denied claims, even when they believed they were in-network or fully covered. The fine print becomes even harder to track if you’re managing multiple providers, medications, or services.
We help you review your current Medicare, Medicaid, Advantage, or private insurance plan and identify ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We provide practical, forward-looking guidance so you’re not left having to react to problems after they happen.
What’s Included?
Our goal is to help you make the most of your existing coverage and avoid preventable expenses.
- Review of Medicare, Medicaid, Advantage, or private insurance benefits
- Cost analysis and identification of financial risks
- Strategies to reduce costs (coding clarification, copay assistance, and more)
- Follow-up check-in after 30 days to revisit any changes or new concerns
Individual Medical Claim Denial Resolution
A denied claim can interrupt care, create financial stress, and leave families unsure of how to respond. You may have received an explanation of benefits (EOB) that doesn’t make sense, or worse, a bill you weren’t expecting. These denials often stem from coding errors, documentation issues, or missed deadlines, not from ineligibility.
The Elder Care Advocate can step in to review the situation, prepare a complete appeal, and communicate directly with billing and insurance offices. Our goal is to restore coverage and reduce financial burden while protecting access to ongoing care.
What’s Included?
We handle the appeal process from start to finish, keeping you informed and supported along the way.
- Detailed review of denial letters, EOBs, and medical records
- Preparation and submission of a formal appeal
- Communication with insurance and billing departments
- Status tracking and updates throughout the process
Medical Facility Bill Dispute and Audit
When a bill from a hospital or long-term care facility doesn’t add up, it’s difficult to know where to begin. Charges may be vague, duplicated, or reflect services that weren’t actually provided. For families already under stress, questioning those numbers may be a task you simply don’t have the capacity for.
That’s where our services can help—we review itemized statements line by line, identify billing errors, and contact providers directly to dispute questionable charges. Our work focuses on correcting the record and helping you avoid overpaying for care your loved one never received.
What’s Included?
We manage the audit and negotiation process to help bring clarity and resolution to complicated or inflated bills.
- Review of itemized facility charges
- Identification of billing discrepancies or improper codes
- Preparation of dispute letters and provider follow-up
- Summary of adjustments, corrections, or negotiated reductions
Medicare or Medicaid Application and Coverage Resolution
Enrolling in Medicare or Medicaid can feel like a full-time job. Between paperwork, documentation requirements, and eligibility questions, it’s easy to miss steps—or miss out on benefits altogether. When you’re supporting a senior family member, these delays or denials aren’t just an inconvenience. They can disrupt essential care and increase costs you can’t afford.
We handle the application process from start to finish, helping you identify every available coverage option and submit a complete, well-prepared application. If a denial occurs, we review the decision and take the appropriate next steps.
What’s Included?
Our support ensures a thorough, accurate submission and continued help if follow-up is required.
- Intake and collection of required documents
- Evaluation of eligibility across federal and state programs
- Online application submission and confirmation
- Ongoing status updates and communication with agencies
- Review and appeal of denied applications, if necessary

Here’s how we’ll address a denied insurance claim, step by step:
- Reviewing the explanation of benefits (EOB) and denial letter
- Identifying the specific reason for denial
