Patient Advocate


 

Beginning January 1, 2005 the University offers patient advocate services to all staff, faculty and retirees. The patient advocate's purpose is to provide health care education and explore the availability of support services offered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.  These services are to provide timely information to members to help make informed decisions about health care and treatments.

Dr. Linda Heitman, Ph.D., RN, CS, Assistant Professor in the Department of Nursing, is the patient advocate.  Faculty, staff and retirees can contact Dr. Heitman for an appointment by leaving her a voice mail message at (573) 651-2558 or by calling the Benefits Office at (573) 651-2083.  Strict confidentiality will be observed with each appointment.  There is no cost to the member for this service. 

If you have questions concerning this benefit please call the Benefits Office at (573) 651-2083.
