The ChargeMaster: An Advocate's Greatest Leverage
Lisa is the founder and owner of Soul Sherpa® a patient advocacy and life care planning sole proprietorship that operates nationally and is based in Southern California.. Since 1990, Lisa has provided her clients with hands-on advocacy services and overall life care planning assistance (legal, financial, medical, and insurance.) Lisa believes an all-encompassing strategy covering each of these areas is essential to every American's security today.
Beginning her professional career as an estate administrator over 25 years ago, Lisa identified the need for a patient advocate before the profession had a name. Regardless of one's economic station in life, Lisa has seen first-hand how easy it is for an individual -- wealthy, needy, or somewhere in-between, to fall through the cracks of our problematic healthcare system. Today's soaring and unregulated medical costs have the ability to financially and emotionally break a person and their loved ones. Learn how you can make a difference by demonstrating your ability to stop this unfairness called the Chargemaster.
One of the most serious challenges facing Americans today is the spiraling cost of healthcare, regardless of whether one has insurance. The ChargeMaster is the private, unregulated price list every hospital, outpatient treatment facility, and diagnostic center uses to determine its cost to the public. It is possible for an advocate to successfully challenge the ChargeMaster on behalf of a client, saving that healthcare consumer anywhere from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands.
