What is a Patient Advocate?

A Patient Advocate is an experienced registered nurse who is also a Certified Case Manager in Michigan that advocates of behalf of their client (the patient).

What do Patient Advocates Do?

  • Patient Advocates attend physician appointments with their clients and they discuss their client’s current medical status and supply the physician with important facts about the client’s medical history.
  • They discuss the client’s medications and make recommendations if adjustments are needed.
  • Patient Advocates coordinate home care, durable medical equipment, and transportation.
  • They make sure that the client obtains all needed prescriptions during their appointments and they assist in getting their prescriptions filled, if needed.
  • Patient Advocates provide updates after appointments via phone or email to the family member who retained the Patient Advocate.
  • Patient Advocates are not affiliated with any hospital or medical group. They are independent and objective.
  • They know the physicians, therapists, community services and other providers in their area so they are able to make valuable recommendations to connect their clients with the most appropriate specialists/providers/ resources based upon their clients’ special needs/condition.
  • Patient Advocates do a monthly status report with an itemized invoice that goes to the family member/friend/client who retained the Patient Advocate so you know exactly the services that have been rendered.
  • The status report contains the following: the results from the previous month’s activities recommended; a complete list of providers the client is seeing along with addresses and phone numbers; a complete medications list with that includes the name of the medication, the dosage, the purpose of the medication and the prescribing physician; a medical update which contains a detailed list of activities performed by the Patient Advocate in date order; and activities recommended that indicates what the Patient Advocate intends to do over the next 30 days.
