Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Consumer Health Advocate
Terri understands transition from a personal view; she herself is in transition after a job loss in 2010. Her interest in Medicare came from volunteer training through Sussex County SHIP.
As job search and job prospects produced meager results, she independently studied the framework of the “Affordable Care Act”, honing her skills and understanding of the mechanics of systems advocacy.
Terri Seibert joined Skylands RSVP [Retired Senior Volunteer Resources]-NORWESCAP in 2013 as a Certified Application Counselor for the Affordable Care Act Insurance Marketplace (ACA). This was a natural fit for Skylands RSVP and Terri, as she has a diverse background in clinical and diagnostic sales and electronic health records, along with an advanced understanding and passion for healthcare economics. Her role as Bridging Health and Human Services Volunteer Coordinator allowed her to grow the volunteer resource pool to thirty plus Volunteer Certified Application Counselors aiding consumers in six counties.
Skylands RSVP also coordinated the Morris County State Health Insurance Assistance Program-Medicare Counseling (SHIP), as well as Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services, both key functions of government healthcare. As an ACA Specialist and SHIP Counselor Terri is able to navigate the maze of healthcare reform, and is also trained in The New, New Jersey Family Care; Medicaid Expansion. She also held a grant position with Skylands RSVP as the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Coordinator (MIPPA) and continues as a volunteer resource.
In addition to her grant work with NORWESCAP, she was contracted with Sussex County Community College.; where she collaborated under the Northern New Jersey Health Professions Consortium (NNJHPC), the Health Professions Pathway Opportunity Grant Program (HPOG) and Trade Adjustment Careers and Community College Training Grant (TAACCCT). As retirement approached Terri formed Family Advocates LLC, a private consulting practice heavily focused in
Shared Decision making and Disability Services.
Shortly after Terri joined Sussex County Administrative Center- Senior Services; an incredibly.
good fit with her passion of health economics and public service. There was great synergy in the various positions within her service, which combine complimentary philosophies of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) for patient empowerment, consumer protections and job creation. Her unique credentials allow her to serve as a resource, specializing in working with consumers who are in various stages of “transitioning”.
As life evolved, Terri faced monumental health challenges when diagnosed with a rare brain cancer; Oligodendroglioma. Her passion for her advocacy work broadened as a Cancer Survivor and someone who carries the honor of Shared Experience. She walks the walk and understands the effects and side effects of the various treatment options and provider networks. Terri continues to be proponent of Health and Wellness Wellbeing and is a strong advocate for the case for Primary Care.
Terri holds a Master of Administrative Science Degree and Bachelor of Arts Degree in Public Service Administration and Organizational Leadership from Fairleigh Dickinson University, as well as an Associate of Science Degree in Human Services and a Certificate as an Elder Law Specialist from Sussex County Community College.
Terri also holds the distinction of Board-Certified Patient Advocate (B.C.P.A) She is a member of the Greater National Advocates (GNA) and the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates (APHA) and a contributor to their online forum.
