Care Navigation: Someone Should Be Looking Out for Your Wallet, Not Just Your Health

There's a crucial element missing in most medical conversations: the financial impact on your wallet. While doctors are providing medical guidance, they rarely discuss the costs of their recommendations. This creates an uncomfortable situation where patients must choose between following their doctor's advice and managing their finances.

The Hidden Financial Burden

Consider this common scenario: Your doctor recommends an MRI at the hospital's imaging center. You trust your doctor's medical expertise, but what you might not know is that the same high-quality MRI could cost $3,950 at the hospital versus $595 at a nearby imaging center. Without this information, you're likely to schedule at the hospital, paying significantly more for the same service.

Why Employees Need a Financial Advocate

Healthcare decisions shouldn't be made in a financial vacuum. Yet employees often face these choices alone.

• Following specialist referrals without knowing about equally qualified, lower-cost options
• Scheduling procedures at hospitals when outpatient centers offer the same service for less
• Accepting prescription recommendations without exploring more affordable alternatives
• Proceeding with tests at facilities charging premium prices for standard services
