Employee Testimonials
“I used it and it was great! My daughter seen an out-of network provider and I called Health Advocate to assist with the billing. The clinic worked with them and ended up writing off half of the bill. ”
“I’ve used Health Advocate 2 or 3 times already. I’ve used them to help interpret why a service either isn’t covered or isn’t covered fully and to help decipher the multiple bills that are sent sometimes when you have hospital services (i.e. hospital, doctor, anesthesiologist…they all get their own bill!)”
““I had a question about coverage for my son’s allergy shots. I contacted Health Advocate & the question was answered right away from the source itself (United Health Care). No long waits and I dealt only with customer service representatives (not automated computer-generated messages). I will definitely contact them again.”
