Medical Port will inform and explain the preparations for each exam a few days before the check-up date.
Generally, clinical pathology exams require a simple fasting, while others like colonoscopy require a more thorough preparation.
Delivery dates for reports depend on the type of exams and analysis included in each check-up:
- For simple check-ups, the report is quick and can be delivered on the check-up date
- For more complete check-ups, the report is detailed and is delivered a few days after the check-up date
When it isn’t possible to deliver the report while the client is still in Portugal, it can be sent through two different ways:
- By email – sending all the information in electronic format, except the imaging exams (CT scan, MRI, etc.)
- By postal mail – sending all the information in physical format
- On the day of the check-up, escorted by the Medical Port Customer Care Specialist, the client is welcomed by the provider concierge that coordinates the circulation between the several units, so that the check-up doesn’t last longer than expected.
- After all the exams and analysis are done, and before leaving the health care provider, the client goes to an Internal Medicine consultation held by a doctor specialized in check-ups. This consultation includes an analysis of all the results that can be issued during the check-up.
Whether it’s by a doctor’s recommendation or by a client's request, additional medical services or exams can be purchased in order to reinforce the diagnosis.
In case additional consultations, exams and treatments are needed in the following days after the check-up, Medical Port will arrange the bookings while the client is still in Portugal.
- Medical Port's dedicated Customer Care Specialist will make sure all the contacts and processes with the healthcare provider during the healthcare are done, and helps and orientates the client with all the necessary preparations for the exams he or she will undergo
- Support from the provider’s Concierge that will provide quick ways to access the different areas of the unit and coordinate the exams and analysis in order to guarantee the best and quickest customer service
- In some cases, breakfast is provided for analysis and exams that require fasting
- In some cases, check-up clients have the access to dedicated rooms
- The final report includes the exam results and recommendations from the responsible physician.
