Crohn's flares require quick action to prevent complications. Your advocate helps recognize early warning signs, coordinates urgent appointments when flares start, and ensures you have rescue medications ready. They track patterns to identify triggers and work with doctors to adjust maintenance therapy.
Crohn's medications, especially biologics, are expensive and require complex approvals. Your advocate fights insurance denials, coordinates infusion scheduling, and finds financial assistance programs. They ensure you never miss doses due to administrative barriers and help switch medications when current treatments stop working.
Diet plays a crucial role in Crohn's management. Your advocate connects you with IBD-specialized dietitians, helps identify food triggers, and coordinates nutritional support during flares. They ensure your nutritional needs are met even when eating becomes difficult.
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.
Crohn's treatment has evolved beyond steroids to include biologics, JAK inhibitors, and combination therapies that can achieve remission. Solace advocates stay current on new medications, help you understand options from Humira to Stelara to Rinvoq, and navigate complex insurance approvals. They coordinate with specialty pharmacies, manage injection training or infusion scheduling, and monitor treatment response. Your advocate ensures you can access the most effective treatments, not just what's easiest to prescribe.
When Crohn's causes strictures, fistulas, or abscesses, surgery becomes necessary despite medical management. Solace advocates help you find colorectal surgeons experienced with IBD, understand options from strictureplasty to resection, and coordinate pre-surgical optimization. They ensure your GI doctor and surgeon communicate, arrange nutritional support before surgery, and coordinate post-operative care. Your advocate guides you through surgical decisions with expertise and compassion.
Crohn's can cause complications beyond the gut including arthritis, skin problems, eye inflammation, and liver issues. Solace advocates coordinate care between your gastroenterologist and other specialists, ensure all providers understand your Crohn's treatment, and manage multiple conditions simultaneously. They help you recognize extra-intestinal symptoms, coordinate appropriate referrals, and ensure comprehensive care. Your advocate manages the full scope of Crohn's impact on your body.
Living with Crohn's means lifelong monitoring, medication adjustments, and adapting to disease changes over decades. Solace advocates create sustainable care plans including regular colonoscopies and imaging, help you balance quality of life with disease control, and adjust strategies as your life changes. They coordinate transitions between pediatric and adult care, manage pregnancy with IBD, and ensure continuity through insurance changes. Your advocate provides steady support through every phase of your Crohn's journey.
