SunNav Equip Foundations: What's Actually Inside the Course

July 22, 20263 min read

If you've heard about SunNav Equip Foundations and want to know what's actually in it before you decide anything, this is that answer. No pitch, no hype — just what the course covers, who it's for, and how it's structured.

What This Course Is

SunNav Equip Foundations is a six-module educational course for independent patient advocates and advocacy practice owners who are trying to understand how Medicare might fit into their work. It was built by Terry McLellan, BSN, RN, BCPA, based on her own experience making her practice, SunNav Healthcare Advocates, Medicare-ready.

It is foundational education, not a step-by-step operational blueprint. The course is designed to give advocates a clear, honest understanding of the landscape, the real costs and hurdles involved, and a framework for deciding whether pursuing Medicare-related work makes sense for their specific practice — not to hand over a finished implementation package.

Who It's For

  • Independent patient advocates exploring whether Medicare-related work fits their practice

  • Advocacy practice owners evaluating this as a service line

  • Professionals working toward building Medicare-ready services

Who it's not for: Medicare beneficiaries looking for help understanding their own personal coverage. This course is built for advocates and practice owners — not for individuals seeking personal Medicare guidance.

What the Six Modules Cover

The course is organized around the questions advocates actually ask, in the order they usually come up:

  1. The Medicare landscape — the parts of the Medicare system that matter most from an advocate's vantage point, including the practical distinction between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage and why it changes how you'd approach this work.

  2. Key operational steps — a plain-language overview of what's actually involved in moving toward Medicare-related work, without assuming you already know the terminology.

  3. Common costs and hurdles — an honest look at what this path typically requires in time, money, and effort, so you're not finding out the hard way.

  4. Whether this path fits your practice — a framework for evaluating your own caseload, resources, and goals against what this work actually demands.

  5. Foundational legal and compliance concepts — the categories advocates need to be aware of before going further, framed as orientation rather than legal advice.

  6. Next-step decision-making — where to go from here, depending on what you learn about your own situation in the earlier modules.

Format and Pricing

  • Format: Self-paced educational modules

  • Beta price: $750

  • Standard price at public launch (September): $1,000

A Note on What This Course Doesn't Promise

This is educational content, not a guarantee of outcomes. Individual results vary based on your practice, your market, your caseload, and factors outside the course itself. The course is built to help you make an informed decision — it isn't a promise of a specific revenue outcome.

Bottom Line

If you're an independent advocate or practice owner who keeps hearing about Medicare-related opportunities and wants a clear, honest starting point — not a sales pitch, not a black-box blueprint — this is built for that exact moment of deciding whether it's worth exploring further.
