Fees

Transparent, in writing, before we begin

Clear pricing is part of being heard. You'll always know what the work costs and what it covers — before you commit to anything.

First conversation

Free consultation

20 minutes, by phone or video, at no cost and with no obligation. You tell me your story; I tell you honestly whether and how I can help.

Ongoing support

Hourly advocacy

For evolving situations — appointment support, coordination, research as needs arise. Billed in clear increments with an itemized monthly summary of time and work.

Defined projects

Flat-fee packages

For bounded work — a billing review, a records organization project, preparation for a major decision. One agreed price, one clear deliverable.

How private-pay works

Whole Story Advocacy is a private-pay practice: clients hire me directly, and insurance does not cover independent advocacy. That's not a loophole — it's the point. Because you pay me directly, I answer only to you: no hospital, insurer, or vendor has any claim on my recommendations.

You can expect

  • A written scope and fee agreement before work begins
  • Specific rates quoted at your consultation, based on scope
  • Itemized records of time and work performed
  • No charges beyond the agreed scope without your approval

Worth knowing

  • HSA/FSA eligibility varies — please verify with your plan administrator
  • Travel beyond the LA area, if needed, is quoted in advance
  • You can pause or end an engagement at any time
