About Healthcare Advocates
First things first. What’s a healthcare advocate?
Healthcare, meet your match. Solace care advocates are experts who know how the system works because they’ve lived in it—they’re experienced physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who understand what you’re going through and can get you the care you deserve.
We’ll match you with the right advocate as soon as today. No sneaky fees, we promise.
Can an advocate help me?
Our advocates have a wide range of specialties, but they’re all experts in one thing: helping people.
Whatever you’re struggling with, a Solace advocate can help. If you’re searching for the right doctor or struggling to get a timely appointment, we’re here for you. If you’re navigating a serious diagnosis, living with a chronic illness, caring for an aging loved one, or fighting a medical bill, we’re here to help.
No matter how complicated the problem, a Solace advocate can help you find the solution.
So, what does a Solace advocate actually do?
Solace advocates are healthcare professionals who know the ins and outs of the medical system. They’ll make the calls, schedule the appointments, and keep your notes organized. They’ll translate complicated forms, keep your doctors coordinated, and be there to listen when you need them most. They can even lower your medical bills.
Honestly, we don’t have the space to list everything a Solace advocate can do for you, but it boils down to this: a Solace advocate just makes healthcare easier.
Okay, what does a Solace advocate not do?
We know our advocates sound a bit like miracle workers, but they have limits. They can’t prescribe medications or diagnose an illness, for instance. They can’t replace your doctor, but they can break down the barriers standing between you and the quality healthcare you deserve.
Why do I need a healthcare advocate?
In a perfect world, you wouldn’t. In a perfect world, you’d visit your doctor and get the care you need. You’d ask important questions and get answers in plain English. On your way out, you’d pay a bill you could actually afford.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world. The healthcare system has become so complicated that it’s nearly impossible to navigate alone. Every day, patients like you are denied essential care due to red tape or tiny paperwork errors.
A healthcare advocate will fight for your needs and ensure your care never falls through the cracks—because healthcare shouldn’t be hard.
Are advocates on Solace qualified to help?
Advocates on Solace are experienced physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals from a wide range of backgrounds. 98% of Solace patients report better healthcare outcomes after working with an advocate.
Advocates on Solace are independent—meaning they work for you, not for an insurance company or a hospital. Your advocate will always have your best interests, and best outcomes, at heart.
Are advocates on Solace local?
We have advocates serving all 50 states, but an advocate doesn’t need to live in your city to help you get the best care. Wherever they are, they’ll work closely with your doctors and find the local resources you need to get the best possible health outcome.
We’ll match you with the best advocate for you.

Getting an Advocate
