FAQs
How does the process begin?
For Life Care Planning services, Dr. Ferguson starts the process with a conversation over the phone or in person to obtain an understanding of your situation. Out of that complimentary discovery meeting, the Life Care Planning process continues with an assessment by nurse advocate, Ellen Brzenski, and a medical records review.
Does insurance cover your service?
We always ask if long-term care insurance is in place since some policies may cover care management fees. We bill privately for our services and do not bill Medicare.
Does working with Dr. Ferguson replace seeing my doctor?
No, we work in conjunction with your primary care physician as well as any specialists with whom you are seeing.
Is this an ongoing service?
Ongoing services depend upon your personal situation. Many clients and their families find that ongoing support is beneficial, however, there are some circumstances in which our service has a defined endpoint based upon clients’ needs.
