Trusted tools and people, all in one place
This page is your one-stop shop for patient advocacy resources, referrals and more. Everything here has been personally vetted by me. I won’t refer you to someone I don’t know professionally, a book I haven’t read, or a tool I haven’t used myself.

Understanding Your Medical Bills
Learn how to tell if your medical bills are correct and ready to pay, or whether you've got a problem that needs to be fixed.
“Never Pay the First Bill: And Other Ways to Fight the Healthcare System and Win”
A how-to guide to understanding your medical bills and fighting back when you think they’re wrong.
Why I recommend this book: It’s perfect for the healthcare consumer who has the time and gumption to fight their own medical billing/health insurance battles.
“The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care–and How to Fix It”
By Marty Makary
An eye-opening synopsis of all that is wrong with the U.S. healthcare system.
Why I recommend this book: It’s perfect for folks who are obsessed with righting the wrongs of our messed-up system (like me). While it doesn’t really offer solutions for resolving our system’s problems, it’s guaranteed to educate healthcare consumers on all the ways they’re getting screwed by the system and make them want to fight back!

Triage Cancer
Triage Cancer is an excellent nonprofit resource for navigating financial and employment issues related to cancer and other long-term diagnoses. Their attorneys are a wealth of knowledge, and I’m super grateful to have them as a resource for myself and my clients.
Ready for one-on-one help?
These resources are a great place to start, but some billing issues need a hands-on approach. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you sort it out.
