I work on a retainer basis and the retainer can vary depending on the plan. I do include a Non-Refundable fee for intake of information. If there are any monies remaining at the end of our relationship, I refund the client in a timely manner.

Awww, you’re welcome Lawanda! You get better hugs if you lead with open arms… for those of us who are huggers anyway! I don’t take your intro as bragging, but instead showing Chutzpah! Having self confidence is a great quality to have when supporting others who may not have any. Thanks for your introduction!

Michael Voss replied to the topic Dr Office telehealth link will only work in patient location in the forum General Conversation 1 year, 5 months ago
In my prior experiences with telemedicine, there is only one connection between the physician / clinician & the patient, one link per encounter. If any assistance was present, the individual needed to be with the patient at their location.
While we’ve grown use to virtual meetings with multiple faces (Ie FaceTime, Zoom, Microsoft Teams e…[Read more]

Hi Stephanie,
I am extremely grateful to be able to enroll in the program. For the past couple of years, I have been trying to obtain information about how to launch a Patient Advocacy Business.

Ultimately what I FINALLY got him to was they want advocates to pay a few hundred dollars a year to be listed on their website resource directory page. The “guarantee”…[Read more]

This NYT article describes how caregiving changes – but does not stop – when a loved one goes into a care facility. Many people stop thinking of themselves as caregivers when their loved one moves into long term care (assisted living, memory care or a nursing home) and miss out on resources they could use. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/03/healt…[Read more]
