All services are provided by the sole owner-advocate of GPS, Dr. Annette Ticoras. She trained and practiced as an internal medicine physician and has experience serving as an advocate and navigator.

Services are billed at an hourly rate and are not covered by most insurance companies.

The advocacy and navigation services provided to our clients are private in nature. Other health care entities may employ advocates/navigators to assist insured individuals or patients within their facility. These employed advocates, while helpful, ultimately have an allegiance to their employer. At GPS, we work exclusively with and for the client alone.

GPS is located in central Ohio, but provides in person and virtual services throughout the United States.

No. GPS can only act as your health advocate or navigator. An advocate can help you understand, organize and process medical information. All medical knowledge, authority and advice must come from the client’s own physicians and medical care team. Absolutely no medical advice or treatment is rendered to the client by the advocate.

GPS is able to provide medical interpretation, guidance, and support services to clients and their families. GPS can assist in a myriad of capacities, including, but not limited to, accompanying clients to routine medical care and appointments, surgery, ER visits, or hospitalization. Out-of- town family and overextended caregivers now have a reliable, caring and experienced alternative to act as their liaison when necessary or desired. See GPS Services tab for more details.

Just click on the Contact Us tab. GPS will arrange an initial consultation to assess your unique advocacy needs and personalize a plan for guiding and improving your healthcare experience.
