What do you mean by the term "Patient Advocacy"?
Dr. Tony Dale founded The Karis Group in 1996, offering a service he termed "Patient Advocacy". Since then, Karis and the healthcare industry have evolved, and the term "Patient Advocacy" has come to mean more than it did ten years ago. In contrast to the organizations that offer scheduling and insurance dispute resolution services under the moniker "Patient Advocacy", our services are focused on mediating between health care providers and underinsured members who are having difficulty paying their medical bills. We mediate between members and providers to help both fully understand the situation at hand and pursue a resolution that is acceptable to both parties, whether via entitlements, financial assistance or reduced settlements and payment plans.
