Care Grade Appeal Coach

3.50

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Parent care — long-term care grade navigation
Step 2 Dissatisfaction with care grade assessment results
Step 3 Step-by-step coaching for appeals and rehearings

Problem

When families receive a lower-than-expected or rejected long-term care grade assessment, there is no systematic service to guide them through the appeal process — including application preparation, obtaining additional medical opinions, rehearing schedules, and success strategies. The National Health Insurance Service call center only explains procedures, not 'how to actually get a higher grade.' Families either pay $375–$750 to a care consultant or waste 3–6 months relying on community forum tips.

Solution

Enter the parent's current grade assessment results (evaluation survey items) on the web to get a pre-diagnosis of appeal success probability, along with a step-by-step action checklist (key points for requesting additional medical opinions, daily life video documentation guide, application templates). Includes rehearing schedule alerts and completion tracking for each step.

Target: Ages 45–60, adult children of parents 70+ who received an unfavorable long-term care grade assessment and want to appeal for a higher grade, especially dual-income households with limited time for administrative procedures
Revenue Model: Free pre-diagnosis + basic checklist. Premium: customized appeal application template at $7.50 per transaction, expert review referral at $15
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
