It’s often — and not surprising- during these days of pandemics.. that people need to see a doctor. When a patient does see their doctor, likely there are tests that have to be done to provide more information on the state of the patient. Most people are afraid when told they need to get lab tests or other testing done in various hospitals or outpatient facilities ( for example x-rays, blood work, seeing a specialist, and more)
The biggest issue is how you can get through the more complicated process that has occurred in the last couple of years and being able to get a solid diagnosis; go through any necessary tests and then be able to understand the billing as well as deal with your insurance company. It can be very complicated… and for some, it seems impossible.
I always wondered why there wasn’t a basic primer to help people learn how to navigate the health care system! It’s pretty confusing and it can become so complicated that it’s downright scary.
Thankfully Dr. David Wilcox decided to write a book about how to get the quality health care you need and you deserve. This book (as seen below) provides you with a ton of information about how to navigate the healthcare system: with your doctors; learning about test results; how to deal with specialists, health insurance companies’ coverage and billing, and other aspects of getting you to be healthy.
Dr. Wilcox is a very educated man who is a Doctorate-prepared nurse who also holds a Master’s in Health Administration and is Board-Certified in Nursing Informatics.
Dr. Wilcox has nearly three decades of health care experience as a bedside nurse, hospital administrator, and in health care information technology.
Dr. Wilcox is an exceptionally qualified person who has written a great book about how you can navigate the health care system!
How to Get the Quality Health Care You Deserve:
Insider Tips Straight From a Medical Professional
by Dr. David Wilcox!
Everyone needs health care at some point in their lives. Understanding the risks and benefits of procedures, making sense of medical bills, and interacting with insurance companies are all lessons we have to learn on the fly — and often when we’re already shouldering the stress of battling an illness ourselves or helping a loved one.
After 28 years in the health care field, Dr. David Wilcox has seen enough to realize that proactive patient education can actually have a life or death impact.
“Entering the American healthcare system, one has to have a basic knowledge of it to be safe,” he said during a recent interview. “Medical errors are the third leading cause of death. Not a lot of people know that.”
In his new book, How to Avoid Being a Victim of the American Healthcare System: A Patient’s Handbook for Survival, Dr. Wilcox offers information, facts, and tips that can help patients and family members navigate through the morass.
“I have seen some alarming situations that nursing school never prepared me for,” Dr. Wilcox said. “Not being prepared and knowledgeable means you will have little control over the health care you receive.”
His goal in writing this book was to level the playing field, enabling consumers of health care to understand how to avoid getting caught in the systemic net.
In his own words, Dr. Wilcox’s book explores
–“what to do if you have to go to a hospital,
—how to handle an insurance company’s claim denial,
—how to find an alternative to high-priced prescriptions,
—why the current pay-for-fee system is inadequate.
“You will also discover the direction the healthcare system needs to move in, to holistically care for you, the patient … information that the health care entities would prefer you didn’t know.”
