PCA Patient CareAdvocates

Services

Bring a medical expert to your next appointment.

From a single important visit to an ongoing relationship, PCA gives you an experienced clinician who helps you prepare, understand, organize, and navigate your care.

Appointment advocacy

A clinician prepares with you, attends your appointment in person or virtually, and makes sure you leave with clarity instead of questions.

Ideal for: specialist and surgical consultations, new-diagnosis visits, and any appointment where the stakes are high.

What's included

  • Review of your relevant medical history beforehand
  • A prepared list of the questions that matter most to you
  • Attendance at the consultation, with your permission
  • Help clarifying medical terminology and recommendations
  • A written summary with key recommendations and next steps

Medical education & decision support

Time and expert explanation that a typical clinical visit can't always provide, so you can make informed decisions with your treating clinicians.

Our role: improving understanding and informed decision-making. We don't prescribe or direct treatment; your physicians remain responsible for your care.

What's included

  • Plain-language explanation of diagnoses and test results
  • Understanding treatments, procedures, risks, and alternatives
  • Organizing what you've been told into a clear picture
  • Questions to discuss with your doctors before you decide

Care navigation & coordination

When care involves several physicians, specialists, and facilities, we help keep the whole picture organized and moving forward.

Ideal for: complex conditions, multiple specialists, and families coordinating care for a loved one.

What's included

  • Organizing appointments across providers
  • Tracking follow-up recommendations so nothing slips
  • Coordinating information with care teams you authorize
  • Identifying unresolved questions and getting them answered

Hospital & transition support

Hospital stays move quickly and can be confusing for families. We help you understand the plan, communicate with the team, and leave with a clear path forward.

Ideal for: planned or unexpected admissions, families supporting a hospitalized loved one, and the transition home.

What's included

  • Help understanding the inpatient care plan
  • Preparing questions for the hospital team
  • Organizing discharge instructions and medications to review
  • Navigating follow-up appointments after discharge

Ongoing concierge advocacy

For clients who want continuity: a continuing relationship with a clinician who knows your history and stays with you from one appointment to the next.

Ideal for: aging parents, chronic or complex conditions, and families who want a trusted medical guide they can turn to.

What's included

  • Periodic consultations to review where things stand
  • Organized medical records and history in one place
  • Follow-up coordination between appointments
  • Continuity across specialists, hospitals, and transitions

Pricing

Clear, private-pay pricing. No surprises.
