A nurse in your corner when healthcare gets complicated

I'm Rosalie, a registered nurse with 20+ years of experience. I help Milwaukee-area families get through hospital stays, discharges, confusing bills and too many doctors, so you don't have to figure it out alone.

Families usually call me when…

🏥

A parent is in the hospital or just got home

Discharge papers nobody explained, follow-ups that haven't been scheduled, and a lot of "someone will call you."

🧭

Too many doctors, no one connecting the dots

Three specialists, three portals, three different answers. You need one person keeping track.

💸

A bill or denial you can't get answered

Surprise charges, a denied claim, a prior authorization stuck somewhere. Hours on hold, no progress.

What I do

  • Go with you (or call in) to appointments and take notes
  • Keep track of the plan, the follow-ups and who said what
  • Sort out records, portals and paperwork
  • Work on bills, denials and prior authorizations with you
  • Keep the family updated in plain language

What I don't do

  • Provide medical care or medical advice. Your care team does that
  • Give legal advice
  • Make decisions for you. I make sure you have what you need to decide
  • Bill insurance. I work for you and only you

Help that fits where you are right now

We figure out which one fits on the free call.

Quick answers

What does an independent patient advocate do?

An independent patient advocate is a professional — in my case a registered nurse — who works only for you, not a hospital or insurer. I attend appointments, coordinate your care team, explain diagnoses and options in plain language, organize medical records, and help resolve insurance and billing problems.

How can you help with my parent's doctor appointments?

I can attend appointments in person or virtually, take notes, ask the questions that get overlooked, communicate updates to family members, and make sure follow-up care actually happens. Many of my clients are adult children coordinating care for an aging parent in Milwaukee, Waukesha, or Brookfield.

Do you help with medical bills and insurance denials?

Yes. I review bills for errors, help you understand your coverage, and support appeals of denied claims and prior-authorization problems.

Can you help my parent use MyChart and other patient portals?

Yes — this is one of my specialties. With a background in healthcare informatics, I help older adults and families set up and confidently use MyChart and other patient portals, telehealth visits, online scheduling, and electronic health records — so technology becomes a tool instead of another barrier to care.

What areas of Wisconsin do you serve?

I serve Milwaukee, Brookfield, Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Racine and surrounding Southeast Wisconsin communities, in person and virtually.

Do you offer services in Spanish?

Yes — I am fluent in Spanish and welcome Spanish-speaking patients and families across Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin. Se habla español.

Do you take insurance, or how do you charge?

CarePath Advocate is privately paid and independent — I don't bill insurance, which means I answer only to you with no conflicts of interest. We discuss the right level of support and fees during your free 30-minute call.

How do we get started?

Start with a free, no-obligation 30-minute call. Call 262-404-CARE (2273) or book a time online, and we'll talk through your situation.
