Chat Session: Navigating the healthcare system with IIH
April 25, 2024
10:00 am Eastern
Take part in our IIH Community Chat Session as we discuss what it is like to navigate through the healthcare system. This chat session is open to everyone in the IIH Community (patients, caregivers, and physicians).
We hope to encourage sharing valuable insights on:
- What it is like to navigate through the US healthcare system while living with a rare condition.
- What the referral process through insurance is like.
- Give first hand experience from an IIH patient who has combined her experience as a User Experience Designer to enhance her ability to advocate for herself and to deal with pain points through her medical journey.
- Share a template of what Nicole uses to help go from provider to provider without getting lost in the complex process.
We hope this chat session will help others who are in the process of finding an answer to their symptoms – learn more here.

When she’s not scheduling or attending appointments you’ll find her immersed in podcasts, digging in her garden, or planning her next adventure.
