Frequently Asked Questions

Health advisors are expert consultants on everything relating to health and wellness. Health advisors help individuals, families, companies, and other groups navigate the healthcare system. This includes providing personal support, outlining treatment options, finding top doctors, arranging for second opinions, evaluating health insurance plans, and offering guidance during challenging healthcare decisions.

Better Health Advisors works with individuals, families, companies, and family offices.

We work with people of all ages who have a wide range of health conditions, many of which are quite complex. Our experience includes, but is not limited to: Alzheimer’s, cancer, mental health issues, substance abuse, neurological disorders, and Parkinsons. BHA manages these conditions with Covid-19 safety precautions in mind.

A concierge doctor is typically a primary care doctor who provides patients with extra time and personalized care in their offices. Better Health Advisors partners with concierge doctors, but our work extends beyond the office visit. We advise you at every step of the healthcare process and help you make informed decisions. We provide guidance on insurance, transitions from hospital to home, wellness, and even in-person ER and hospital support.

BHA offers custom pricing arrangements. People who work with us often sign an annual retainer, but the length of engagement varies based on individual needs. Please contact info@betterhealthadvisors.com for details.

BHA considers the financial implications of medical care a key component of health planning. We seamlessly coordinate our healthcare approach and solutions with your other advisors, such as financial advisors, trust and estate attorneys, and accountants.

We get to know you, starting with our comprehensive intake discussion. We assess your healthcare and lifestyle preferences, and recommend top providers and facilities that we know will give you the best possible care. If you have, or develop, a health condition that requires specialized treatment, we confer with our internal and external advisors to identify highly-skilled doctors with that expertise. In addition to recommending specific doctors, we talk with these doctors prior to your visit to relay key medical information, attend appointments (often virtually), and follow up with you on next steps.

The healthcare system is complicated, and it's easier to get great care when you have a team of experts looking out for you.

The Better Health Advisors team is made up of people who have extensive experience working in top hospitals and medical facilities. We developed our expertise through many years of tackling complex problems for patients to improve their care.

We understand how the healthcare system works, and we use that information to help you get better care. Whether you want guidance on staying healthy, understanding a new diagnosis, getting a second opinion, or identifying the best ways to manage an existing condition, we will work with you one-on-one to create a personalized health plan. We support you every step of the way and explain things in plain English.
