Christy Vinson
Patient Financial Advocate
About Christy
Driven by Providing Financial Support
As a dedicated Patient Financial Advocate, I bring several years of experience in advocating for patients during their healthcare journeys. My goal is to ensure that patients are well-informed about their financial obligations, insurance coverage, and available assistance programs while working to provide the best patient experience. I work with patients who are insured, underinsured, and uninsured, guiding every patient based on their individual needs. I seek assistance for patients through Medicare, Medicaid, pharmaceutical companies, and financial assistance programs to help them with their out-of-pocket expenses for infusion therapy, radiation therapy, and Gamma Knife.
