Compass CHC is a private limited company specialising in NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.
The process for securing continuing healthcare funding can be arduous and complex and many individuals without experience in this area struggle to deal with it themselves. The support of an expert with experience relating to NHS Continuing Healthcare can make all the difference.
Compass CHC is not a law firm and does not undertake what is known as “reserved” legal activities, namely matters of a nature which require them to be exclusively undertaken by solicitors. We deal solely with the internal NHS appeals and assessment process which is not a regulated activity. Indeed, it is specifically excluded by the NHS as being a legal process for which a solicitor is required.
Compass CHC was established with the sole aim of supporting families to secure NHS Continuing Healthcare funding and to assist with the appeals process when required.
Compass CHC is owned and managed by Tim Davies, Chief Executive. Tim is a qualified solicitor, but he acts in a non-practising solicitor role. Compass CHC has a team of experts, consisting of qualified non-practising lawyers, as well as clinicians including Registered General Nurses, tissue viability specialists and pharmacists.
Our services are provided on a fixed fee basis which gives clients transparency and cost certainty from the outset. We do not act under conditional or contingency fee (also known as “No-Win-No-Fee”) arrangements, whereby individuals are charged a proportion of the care fees which are eventually recovered. We feel this can often be exceptionally expensive for individuals and does not provide value for money for the work undertaken.
We also do not work under an hourly rate scenario, as is often the case with solicitors’ practices. We feel this doesn’t provide cost certainty to the client because, if a matter is more complex than initially anticipated, costs can build up and run away with themselves.
We believe that a fixed cost service provides our clients the best value for money and cost transparency. Our clients know what their total expenditure will be from the very outset of the case.
Before any instructions are accepted we complete a free, no obligation and confidential telephone assessment to discuss the specific circumstances of the individual. Only at this stage – and when the expert advisor from Compass CHC is of the view that the evidence relating to the patient’s condition indicates that there is a reasonable prospect of success in securing funding would we accept instructions to act on an individual’s behalf.
