Patients!!!!
Tired of the health insurance runaround? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐
Weโve all been there: You sit on hold for 45 minutes, finally get a human on the line, and they tell you something completely different than what the last insurance rep said.
Managing your familyโs healthcare shouldn't require a detective board. As a patient, I know how exhausting this is. That is why I built a completely FREE Healthcare Communication Log to help you take your power back and keep your sanity.
I created a custom, fillable Google Form template that you can copy to track every single detail of your calls with insurance companies, PBMs, and providers.
๐ Click here to read the setup guide and get your free template: https://nixonspeechandlanguage.com/dont-lose-track-of-health-insurance-calls-a-free-tool-for-patients-and-families/
Here is why this tool is a game-changer for families:
๐ฑ Use it like an app: Save it directly to your phoneโs home screen so it is ready the second you get put on hold.
๐ค Tag-team the work: Share your link with your partner so both of your call notes feed into one single, organized spreadsheet.
๐ Create paper trails: Export individual call logs as clean PDFs to use as hard proof when filing a formal appeal.
๐ Decode the jargon: The template comes with our massive, plain-language Glossary to help you finally understand terms like "Max-Out-of-Pocket," "Deductible," and "Prior Authorizations."
We hope this makes your next phone call a little less chaotic!
(๐ A Quick Privacy Note: If you find this tool helpful, please share it with your friends and support groups! Just make sure to share the link to this blog post, NOT your personal Google Form link, to protect your private notes.)
PROVIDERS - this is specifically designed for patients. Thank you
