The Best Defense

How to help employees become their own health care advocate

Being your own health care advocate is a recent concept among consumers. In the past, most people simply looked to their doctors and medical team to advocate for them. But with the rise of health care costs and information and transparency tools being readily available, people are starting to rethink their role in the health care system.

"As the call to be "smart health care consumers" increases, people are starting to understand that they are their best defense in controlling their spending and taking charge of their health," says Judy Dawson, Sales & Retention Executive at HealthLink. "When employees feel empowered to be their own advocate, it can have a far-reaching impact on their health, and on the health plan."
