The healthcare system is confusing for many people.

You need a patient advocate.

Dr. Michele Mosier, PharmD.

Hello!

I'm Dr. Michele Mosier, PharmD.

I am a Doctor of Pharmacy with over 20 years of experience. As my time as a pharmacist progressed, I realized that I was contributing to a broken healthcare system that encourages medication usage to treat symptoms which often leads to undesirable side effects. I observed patients who were in a cycle of dependency and desperately needed help out of the medication spiral.

 

As your patient advocate, I will make sure that your voice is being heard first and foremost. One of the biggest downfalls of our current healthcare system is the lack of communication. I break down communication barriers between doctors, specialists, hospitals, and more to make sure everyone is on the same page and you are getting the care you need and deserve. In addition, I ensure you are taking the correct medications and/or supplements to treat your ailments. My most common services involve medication access issues, finding relevant resources to help with unique situations, arranging transitions of care between hospital and home, and communicating with providers and insurance companies on behalf of my client.

 

Navigating the healthcare continuum can be both daunting and frustrating. I believe no healthcare patient should walk the journey alone. A patient advocate should walk with them, while breaking down barriers, restoring hope, and optimizing patient outcomes.

What can I do for you?

A patient advocate is there for you to make sure you get the care you need.

Medication Assistance

Each year in the US alone, 7,000-9,000 people die as a result of medication errors. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of patients experience adverse reactions or other medication complications*. As a seasoned pharmacist, I can ensure your medications are optimal for you while minimizing risk.

  • Ensure correct medication, dose, and frequency

  • Optimize therapeutic outcomes for each unique patient, changing medications if necessary

  • Perform comprehensive medication review to identify, resolve, and prevent medication-related problems

  • Provide education designed to enhance patient understanding

Do you feel like you keep hitting dead ends?

The healthcare system can be extremely confusing. Dealing with multiple healthcare providers and insurance companies can become stressful, especially during a major health event. I am here to help you more easily navigate the healthcare system. I can coordinate care and appointments, assist you in making decisions by providing helpful resources, review and optimize medications, and assist with some insurance issues.

​

If you feel like all of your Googling is getting you nowhere, you've come to the right place. Taking care of your or a loved one's health is stressful enough. Add in communication breakdowns, insurance companies, and complicated medication issues, and you have a fast pass to a meltdown.

Testimonial

Working With Dr. Mosier

"Michele played an invaluable role in getting the necessary care for my father during his hospitalizations after hip surgery and infections. She was always available when we had questions about the care he was receiving and was doggedly determined to ensure the care he was receiving was appropriate and timely. In addition, when he was being released from the hospital to rehab, she vetted the facilities and the servers to make the rehab a success. She also helped with in-home care after the stay at rehab. Prior to this, I was unaware that services like this existed. I highly recommend having Michele on your side as you navigate hospitals, doctors, medicines, and rehab. She's knowledgeable, caring, determined, and can speak to the medical providers on a level field. She will do what's best for you and your loved ones."
