About

We provide information to empower patients and their families to partner with their doctors and other providers to make good decisions about their medical care. An educated patient is an empowered patient.

We serve large and small employers as well as health funds.

Different Than The Rest

Healthcare Service Advisor's independence differentiates us from most other patient advocacy firms. We have no ties to any health plan, insurer, broker, provider group or other entity (e.g., shareholders) that could affect our ability to provide objective information and assistance to patients. Many "competitors" have financial or other ties to health plans, insurance companies, brokers, etc. We work only for our members.

Informed Consumers

We are dedicated to helping patients and their families become informed consumers, who can knowledgeably navigate the healthcare system. With our guidance and information, patients are able to access doctors, hospitals, and behavioral health providers that are among the most expert in their unique medical or behavioral health conditions.

We help patients

  • By providing detailed explanations of diagnosis, options, outcomes, and risks
  • Identify and access providers who have the most expertise in treating their condition
  • Suggesting key questions or issues to discuss with their care provider
  • Work with physicians or other providers to select the treatment that best meets the patient’s needs
  • We provide information about doctor and hospital experience
  • We remove barriers to access appropriate care
