Testimonials
Hiring Julie to help me with my medical bills was the best thing I could've done! Not only did she help reduce the actual charges billed, but she also helped me navigate the various financial aid programs while explaining how they work and how to work them. - Carissa C., November 2023Julie has been essential in navigating the medical bills that suddenly went unpaid by my insurance company after three years of seamless payment to the same provider. I was unable to pay the large balance. Julie did the hard work and in the end my balance owed was zero. I didn't have the knowledge or the time to accomplish this on my own. I have recommended Julie to my family and friends. - Rhea V., Summer 2023Julie saved our financial lives. We had a mess involving a nearly two-year old set of bills at the beginning of the process, which our insurance (despite having approved a surgery) refused to pay. Through two more years, Julie refused to give up, and helped us attack on all fronts. At the end of the process, she saved us $80,000. That is not a misprint. The whole time she was friendly, compassionate, professional, and relentless. - Jim and Rebecca S., Spring 2023Julie, you have exceeded my expectations. Very knowledgeable, and most definitely know your job. Very happy with your work and will definitely recommend you. Thank you for everything! - D. Gayheart, November 2022.Julie did a great job for us. She saved us tens of thousands of dollars by working diligently with us, my surgeon’s office, and my insurance company to get insurance approval. She was patiently persistent working for a good resolution – we didn’t even know where to begin to reach a decision-maker at the insurance company! I firmly believe the outcome would not have been as positive and would’ve cost us a great deal more money without her efforts. She knows her stuff! - K. McCurdy, July 2022I would recommend Julie Neff highly. Very professional. If we have anymore medical bills, no matter what the circumstances, we will have Julie review them. - Jana and Andy, November 2021Very grateful. I reached out to Julie for help on a bill I had no idea how to fix. Julie saved me thousands. - Tracy R., November 2021New Pathways Patient Advocacy provided our family with helpful strategies that have enabled us to significantly reduce our monthly prescription medication costs. By following the great money-saving tips that have been given to us, we are seeing huge savings every month. - Melissa, July 2019I’ve known Julie Neff for years and have seen first hand how passionate she is about what she does and in doing what’s right for her clients. She is a first-class advocate with extensive experience and a relentless nature in being the voice of her clients. Recently, I found myself in a situation where I needed information and guidance in order to make a major insurance coverage change decision. Julie was the first person I thought of, knowing she would help point me in the right direction. Thanks to her dedication and activation of her broad network of contacts, she was able to help me find the answers I needed in rapid fashion. - B & L Corley, November 2019
