My name is Stephen Bates, and I am the founder of Advantage Access Advisors, LLC. Our mission is to help people live healthier lives by providing affordable access to laboratory tests that can detect health problems early on. We offer local access to over 2,100 confidential and affordable tests, giving you the advantage of early detection and proactive health management. I started this business out of my own dissatisfaction with our healthcare system. Delays in accessing vital health information have affected my treatment and that of my loved ones. I want to empower individuals to be well-informed about their health and overall well-being, avoiding unnecessary delays in diagnosis and treatment. There are more than 194 million adults between the ages of 19 and 64 in the United States, with about half of them uninsured or underinsured. This statistic doesn’t include the over 5 million American workers who lost health insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there are Federal, state, and private programs to support some of these individuals, access and requirements vary. Many people in this group would benefit greatly from having self-pay options for medical testing. I am reaching out to all those whose conditions or treatments are not covered by insurance, or who are uninsured or underinsured. In my opinion, better health knowledge leads to a better quality of life. If you need testing, know someone who needs testing or just want more information, I would be happy to discuss it with you. Best regards, Stephen P. Bates, Ph.D., CIH, CSP Founder, Advantage Access Advisors, LLC
