Navigating the Healthcare System

Advocacy is more than writing to your elected officials; it’s about making sure you, as a person living with diabetes, have access to what you need to survive and thrive. During this session, Sean Oser, MD, MPH and PWD, will walk you through how to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system. Looking to get the most out of your doctor’s appointments? Trying to work your way through an insurance denial? Bring your questions and concerns to this open forum style discussion about advocating for yourself in the healthcare system.
