Completing all medical examinations, the doctor told the patient to get a few diagnostic tests for better preparation of the procedure.

As the patient was getting nervous about the surgery, she wanted to speak to the doctor. The Patient Manager from MediGence was by her side all this while to make her feel easy so that she is completely ready to undergo the procedure. The MediGence team scheduled visits for the doctor, assisted her with billing issues, and offered advice. The patient underwent all the required tests which gave a clearer picture to the surgeon and helped him in better understanding her present health status to better prepare for the procedure and the plan for post operative recovery.
