Need help?

Don't worry, I got you. Here are some answers for your questions.

What exactly is this freebie?

This is a downloadable PDF guide that gives you five brief scripts to use in common healthcare scenarios, like asking for a second opinion, requesting tests, clarifying treatment options, and more. These scripts are designed to help you feel confident, assertive, and prepared when speaking to your healthcare provider.

Is this resource really free? What’s the catch?

Yes, it’s completely free—the only thing I ask in return is for your email address so I can continue providing you with amazing info and resources to help you along your healthcare journey! I created this script because I know how confusing and frustrating it can be to deal with insurance companies. My goal is to empower you with tools to navigate the system with confidence. If you find it helpful, you can check out my other resources, but there’s no obligation.

Who are these scripts for?

It’s for anyone who wants to feel more confident and in control during doctor visits. Whether you’re managing your own care, advocating for a loved one, or dealing with a challenging medical situation, this guide will help you ask the right questions and express your concerns clearly.

How do I use the scripts?

Each script in the guide is designed to be short, straightforward, and adaptable to your situation. You can use them as written or tweak them to fit your needs. Simply refer to the guide before your appointment or bring it with you for reference during your conversation.

Do I need any prior knowledge to use this guide?

Not at all! The scripts are beginner-friendly and require no medical knowledge. They’re designed to be easy to understand and use right away.

Will this work for all types of healthcare providers?

These scripts are versatile and can be used with most healthcare providers, including doctors, specialists, nurses, and even administrative staff. While no approach is guaranteed to work 100% of the time, these scripts are crafted to improve communication and get results in a respectful way.

What if I don’t like the guide or find it unhelpful?

I’d be surprised if you didn’t find it useful, but if that happens, I’d love to hear your feedback so I can improve future resources. You’re also welcome to unsubscribe from emails at any time—no hard feelings.

Will this guide work for complex or serious medical issues?

While these scripts are helpful for many situations, they’re not a substitute for professional medical advice or specialized advocacy for highly complex cases. If you’re dealing with a serious condition, consider combining these scripts with support from patient advocates or other professionals.
