Arthritis care means juggling multiple specialists and therapists. Your advocate schedules all appointments, finds providers who understand arthritis, and ensures visits are at times when your joints feel best. They coordinate care between your rheumatologist, orthopedist, and therapists so everyone stays informed.
Arthritis medications range from simple pain relievers to expensive biologics requiring special handling. Your advocate fights insurance denials, finds patient assistance programs, and ensures you get medications on time. They help you understand side effects and work with doctors to adjust treatments when needed.
Living with arthritis means adapting your home and lifestyle. Your advocate connects you with occupational therapists, helps you get assistive devices covered by insurance, and finds resources for home modifications. They ensure you have the tools and support to maintain independence despite joint problems.
With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Modern arthritis treatment includes biologics, JAK inhibitors, and targeted therapies that can dramatically slow disease progression and reduce pain. Solace advocates stay current on new medications, help you understand which treatments match your arthritis type, and navigate the complex approval process for specialty drugs. They prepare appeals when insurance denies coverage, find manufacturer assistance programs that can save thousands of dollars, and coordinate with specialty pharmacies. Your advocate ensures you can access breakthrough treatments, not just basic pain pills.
When arthritis damages joints beyond medication help, surgery like joint replacement becomes necessary for quality of life. Solace advocates help you find experienced surgeons, understand your options from injections to full replacements, and navigate pre-surgery requirements. They coordinate presurgical clearances, arrange physical therapy before and after surgery, and ensure home health services are ready. Your advocate guides you through the entire surgical journey, from decision to recovery.
Arthritis flares can strike suddenly, leaving you unable to function and desperately needing quick medical attention. Solace advocates help create flare action plans with your doctors, ensuring you have rescue medications and know when to seek urgent care. They maintain updated medication lists for emergency visits, coordinate urgent appointments when flares hit, and help you track triggers. Your advocate provides steady support during painful crises when you need help most.
Effective arthritis management requires a team including rheumatologists, physical therapists, pain specialists, and sometimes nutritionists or mental health support. Solace advocates build and coordinate your entire care team, ensuring everyone communicates and works toward the same goals. They schedule appointments efficiently to minimize travel, share updates between providers, and add new specialists as needs change. This coordinated approach means better pain control and preserved joint function over time.
