Organizing your Procedure
We have made great strides in facilitating and
organizing your treatment at BEVERLY HILLS MEDICAL
GROUP. The following is a step-by-step guide from
appointments to admissions.
Making Appointments:
Making an appointment is the necessary first step.
You can do this several ways.
Our offices will provide you with appointment dates
and times as well as provide you with costing
information for the services you require.
Once you've arrived at the BHMG:
Registration
All new patients need to register upon entering the
medical center. To expedite this process, you are
encouraged to complete the
registration form
in advance and bring it to our facility.
You are kindly asked to present yourself at the
International Concierge
located on the 1st Floor to collect your BHMG
registration card and to confirm your appointment
date and time. The International Concierge staff
will then direct you to the appropriate location in
time for your consultation.
Consultation
Your physician consultation is very important,
because it is the moment when you can discuss your
medical issues face-to-face with your doctor. If you
are traveling from overseas, this will be the first
time you meet with your doctor so it is critical
that he/she understands:
-
Your medical needs
-
Your expectations
-
Your medical history
Most people have a good idea of what the procedure
or outcome they want (“I want to look 20 years
younger" or "a flatter stomach”), and the
physician’s responsibility is to listen and then
explain what can be done, the procedures or
techniques to achieve your objectives, and the risks
and costs involved.
You will have a lot of questions to ask, so
preparation is key to make the most of your
consultation. We suggest that you:
-
Write your questions down to make sure you
remember them
-
Come with your medical history/survey already
completed
-
Bring any photos or visuals aids that will help
explain what it is you want or expect from
treatment
Note:
Please review our FAQs
(frequently
asked questions)
section incorporated in
the procedures section. You may also want to clarify
some of these points with your surgeon.
Pre-Surgical Tests
Prior to admissions and surgery, your physician will
require you to undergo laboratory investigations
and/or diagnostic examinations to ensure that you
are fit for surgery.
These tests are standard BHMG procedure and they do
incur a cost. Some packages include pre-surgical
tests and diagnostics as part of the total package
price, while others do not. Please consult your
physician.
Admission
If you are having surgery or any out-patient medical
services, you are required to go through an
admissions process. The admissions desk is located
on the 1st floor of the main building.
A registered nurse is on hand to help you complete
requisite consent forms, coordinate your room
assignment and answer any questions you might have
before being shown to your room.
At admissions, you will be required to pay the full
amount prior to surgery.
See our payment section.
Surgery
All surgery is performed in a U.S. Department of
Health Services required sterile operating theatre.
This is to ensure maximum patient safety and to
minimize risk. |
