When a patient has questions or concerna about a proposed procedure which health care professional should provide the answers?
When a patient has questions or concerns about a proposed procedure, the healthcare professional who should provide answers is typically the one directly involved in the patient's care, such as the physician or surgeon performing the procedure. This professional is best equipped to explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives, as well as to address specific patient concerns. Additionally, nurses or other members of the healthcare team can provide support and information, but the final and most detailed answers should come from the physician.
Can a Medtronic Rep check a patient Ins. before surgery by a doctor?
No. The surgical procedure should be what the surgeon books it as. Meaning the surgeon plans on using instrumentation or allograft whether the patient has insurance or not. The only logical reason the rep is looking to see if the patient has insurance is exactly why you think he/she is: suggesting or implying the patient needs more of his/her product. Unethical. They should not even be looking in the chart.
