Serving the Greater Las Vegas Area

Your Guide Across the Healthcare System

Patient Advocate Services, LLC is a healthcare and elder care consulting service dedicated to assisting and guiding patients, families, and caregivers through the complex medical system. We recognize that illness or changes brought about by aging also can affect all aspects of our lives. During this stressful time, you suddenly need to make many difficult decisions and plans that may have social or financial implications along with long-term healthcare considerations. As your private Healthcare Advocate, we are there to support and assist you. With compassion and years of professional nurse case management expertise, we listen to you. Then we provide:

Assessment of your situation and needs - looking at the whole picture
Education and explanations of complex information and terminology
Coordination to organize the fragmented "puzzle pieces" of your information
Communication with your circle of involved individuals, healthcare providers or agencies, and insurance carriers always respecting and protecting patient privacy
Research treatment options and considerations; insurance coverage, statements or billing concerns; possible referrals to appropriate healthcare providers, social, or financial agencies
Planning to develop a comprehensive patient-centered plan to best meet your healthcare, elder care, and other related needs
Evaluation to assure we are meeting your needs and determine if additional needs have developed along the journey
Follow-up services available to provide continuity and continued advocacy

Patient Advocate Services, LLC will advocate for you across the entire healthcare spectrum. We are not constrained by who is providing the service or the payment source. We do not make decisions for you; instead we offer a partnership that empowers you to make well informed decisions. Our goal is to achieve the best personalized outcome for you.

Our updated website will be released soon, so please check back. We apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that we remain readily available by phone or e-mail during this transition. As always, we continue to serve those in the Greater Las Vegas, Nevada region including Summerlin, Redrock, Del Webb Sun City, Centennial Hills, North Las Vegas, Aliante, Sunrise Manor, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Paradise, Green Valley, Henderson, and Boulder City.
