This episode is brought to you by Solace Health. I have been booking lots of doctor's appointments lately, and it can be such a headache. You can spend hours on hold with insurance. You can be bounced between doctors who clearly aren't talking to each other. I mean, I see it in my life now, and I have a grandmother with Alzheimer's, and it's hard for her to go to the doctor and advocate for herself. Having a Solace advocate would be such a game changer. Solace connects you with dedicated healthcare advocates, registered nurses, and healthcare pros averaging 16 years of experience who do the work that usually falls on you. A Solace advocate can find the right doctors and schedule your appointments, fight denied insurance claims, and get your care approved, and they can also make sure your doctors are actually in sync so nothing falls through the cracks. Studies show that 98% of patients feel more in control of their care after working with an advocate. You can go to solacehealth.com to see if you qualify. It takes about two minutes, and it's covered by insurance. That's solacehealth.com. Must be 18 or older. Advocates do not provide medical or legal advice.
