About the advocates
What are advocates?
Healthcare benefits can be hard to understand. That’s why we have Advocates to help. Advocates are your personal Culinary Health Fund “helpers.” Advocates explain your benefits and answer your questions. They are also happy to listen to your feedback.
What can an advocate help me with?
Advocates can help you:
- Find a doctor
- Fill out forms
- Get answers to your questions
- See if you’re eligible for benefits
- Check if you owe a self-pay
- Know your copays
- Sign up for a class or program
- Explain things that are sent to you by mail or text
- Help with complicated situations (disability, enrollment, complaints, etc.)
Call your Advocates at 702-691-5665 or email advocacy@culinaryhealthfund.org if you need anything.
