Patient Advocate Costs
Patient advocate costs depend on your needs, location, and your advocate's qualifications. Most charge hourly rates between $100 and $500. The hours you'll need vary based on your situation and how much hands-on support you want—whether that's having your advocate handle everything or coaching you to navigate things yourself.
Many advocates work on a retainer where you pay for hours upfront, while others offer monthly subscriptions for ongoing support. It's hard to predict exact costs, but you can request an estimate upfront. You're getting expert support that will bring you relief in a challenging healthcare situation—you don't have to face this alone.
