The American Health Care System can offer more than any other in the world, if you know how to make it work for you. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of what benefits they should be receiving, or how to interact with the system to obtain the best services for their situation. Especially in light of the changes that HMOs have brought to our system, the average American often settles for services way below standard. Geriatric Care Managers know this system inside and out and can advocate for you to receive the highest levels of care and coverage that your insurance promises. We can work with "case managers" from insurance companies, discharge planners in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, and with home care agencies to ensure that you receive the care you need and deserve. GCMs ensure that the needs of the client are foremost, rather than the needs of the facility or provider.
