We’re Kansas City Health & Home Care

When it comes to senior care and health considerations in general, it’s only natural to ask Where do you start? Which specialists do you consult? What will insurance cover? What does the medical jargon mean, and what are the next steps in terms of seeking treatment, paying bills, and making sense of it all?

These are difficult choices and there are frequently very complex decisions to be made in the wake of tragic accidents and unexpected diagnoses. We started KC Health & Home Care because we believe that every person and every family deserves the very best access to resources, information, and advice necessary in making sound medical decisions. We’re here to let you to know that you are not alone and that you have an experienced, compassionate, and trusted team by your side when you need us most.

We Save You Money On Medical Billing

We Provide Caring Referrals

We Deliver Trusted Service To Seniors & Their Families

We’re patient advocates. A patient advocate does the job of helping their patients receive the best health care possible at the most affordable rates.

Patient advocates are often divided into two specialties:

• General patient advocates: They help you with all the steps of receiving care, such as finding the right doctors and choosing the best treatments
• Medical billing advocates: Like the name sounds, they focus specifically on helping patients understand their bills, contest inaccurate billing and negotiate for costs to be lowered

Patient advocates don’t provide medical advice on their own, although sometimes nurses or physicians do act as patient advocates. Instead, they help you get the right advice from medical practitioners and understand it, then they manage the recommended care.

What We Do

For aging seniors or busy caregivers, the reasons to consider working with a patient advocate are compelling:

1. We help you get more from your doctors’ visits.

When you meet with a doctor, you generally have limited time in the room before they need to move onto other patients. With the years of specialized study, they’ve given to complex medical conditions, sometimes it can feel like they’re speaking a different language as well. Patient advocates can help with all that.

We’re Here To Serve You & Your Family

When it comes to medical billing and other healthcare costs, our experts take the fight to hospitals and insurance companies, working to lower your bills. On average, our patients save over 60%* on their medical bills. KC Health & Home Care is here to help with you that.

2. We help you understand medical bills.

According to Healthline, up to 80% of all U.S. medical bills include errors. Because the billing system is so complicated and consumers don’t have a good idea of what medical procedures are supposed to cost, there’s a lot of room for mistakes.

Most of us don’t know how to properly read a medical bill or spot a problem, we just know the numbers are often shockingly confusing and large.

Patient advocates are better equipped to understand the different charges in a medical bill. They can both help you avoid paying too much and help you stay on top of the bills coming in while you’re in the hospital or too ill to deal with going through them all.

3. We make sure you get all the information you need about your care.

Healthcare providers are often busy and have a hard time providing the amount of information necessary during a short appointment for you to truly understand your care needs and condition. That can leave patients and loved ones feeling like they don’t know what’s going on or how best to proceed.

 

 

 

We do the research into medical conditions and treatments to supplement the information your doctors provide, so you have a better idea of the details behind the prognosis and treatment recommendations your doctor brings up.

 

 

KC Health & Home Care Is Here To:

• Help you bring healthcare costs down: 41% of people in the U.S. have medical debt. With the high expenses common to medical procedures and treatments, it’s hard to avoid. By knowing how to negotiate with providers, ask the right questions, and spot billing errors, KC Health & Home Care can potentially help you save hundreds or thousands of dollars.
• Help you get better outcomes with less work: By helping you get more out of doctor’s visits and parse the details of different treatment options, KC Health & Home Care enables you to make more informed decisions that lead to better health results.
• Reduce your stress: Stress isn’t just unpleasant, it can also be bad for your health. Offloading some of the most confusing and frustrating parts of dealing with doctors will inevitably reduce your stress levels.

 

Our Mission is to Make Healthcare Bills Fair

The fact is, our healthcare system is ridiculously complex and stacked against patients. Those without insurance pay massively inflated prices, while those with insurance have to deal with out-of-network payments, claims denials, and a host of other issues. We aim to change this. We won’t rest until you get a fair deal on your healthcare.
