Our Private Health Advisors

A Private Health Advisor is your dedicated personal point of contact for all your questions about healthcare and health. No matter what your question is, you’ll always speak with the same Private Health Advisor—someone who knows you, understands what’s important to you, and works with you to find solutions. That way, you don’t have to repeat your story over and over again.

What is a Private Health Advisor?

Your Private Health Advisor works with you to assess your personal situation and needs and helps you understand your options.
A Private Health Advisor has medical knowledge but is not a doctor or medical specialist. He or she uses validated data and information about the quality of care and can rely on a network of medical experts when necessary . This gives you an expert, evidence-based understanding of your options and the differences between them, so you can make well-informed and appropriate choices regarding your care and health. When necessary, your Private Health Advisor also assists with practical matters and administrative tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to see my primary care physician first, or can I contact my Private Health Advisor directly?

You can always contact your Private Health Advisor. If you have questions about healthcare, health, or the options available to you, we’re happy to help you figure things out. Your primary care physician or treating healthcare provider remains responsible for medical evaluations, diagnoses, and treatments.

What kind of knowledge and experience does a Private Health Advisor have?

Our Private Health Advisors come from a variety of professional backgrounds and have extensive experience in the field of healthcare. Although they are not medical specialists or doctors, they have a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape and the options available within the healthcare sector. In addition, they use validated data and information on healthcare quality and can draw on a network of medical experts when necessary. This is how we help you gain a better understanding of the options that best suit your situation.

Does a Private Health Advisor provide medical advice?

No. A Private Health Advisor is not a doctor and does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Your Private Health Advisor works with you to explore your options, provides insight into the various possibilities, and guides you in making choices that suit your personal situation. When medical expertise is needed, the Private Health Advisor can consult a medical expert or put you in touch with a medical specialist. Your primary care provider remains responsible for medical evaluation and treatment.

Can a Private Health Advisor refer me to a healthcare provider?

No, a Private Health Advisor cannot issue a referral letter the way a primary care physician can. However, your Private Health Advisor can help you identify suitable healthcare facilities or providers and provide insight into the available options. If an official referral is required for care, you’ll need to obtain one from your primary care physician or treating physician, for example. Your Private Health Advisor can, however, help you prepare for your consultation with your doctor as thoroughly as possible.

Can a Private Health Advisor help me even if I'm already receiving treatment?

Your Private Health Advisor will help you get a clear picture of your situation and can support you in preparing for appointments with your doctor or arranging matters related to your home life (such as home care, medical aids, or childcare).

Does a Private Health Advisor also help arrange healthcare?

Yes, your Private Health Advisor can help you with practical matters and administrative tasks related to your care. For example, they can help you find a suitable healthcare provider, schedule an appointment , or clarify the next steps . The type of support available depends on your situation and your healthcare needs.
