  • How To Fight For Yourself At The Hospital — And Avoid Readmission

    September 1, 2016

    Kaiser Health News
    It’s a mistake to rely on hospital staff to ensure that things go smoothly; medical centers’ interests (efficiency, opening up needed beds, maximizing payments, avoiding penalties) are not necessarily your interests (recovering as well as possible, remaining independent and easing the burden on caregivers).
    Instead, you and a family member, friend or caregiver need to be prepared to ask plenty of questions and push for answers.

  • Is it worth paying an expert to help you navigate the health-care system?

    August 12, 2016

    Market Watch
