Frequently Asked Questions My Health

 

Q. What happens if I am a My Health member and I also have a doctor or specialist in another hospital in PV? 

A. Hospiten does have a wide range of specialists. However, if there is a particular speciality we do not have, we are very open to those specialists coming to the hospital if you are admitted to us. Any visiting doctors do have to provide the credentials required by Hospiten regarding their professional education. You are of course at liberty to continue to see any other doctor you have a relationship with. This would not affect your My Health membership. 

 

Q. Will Hospiten speak to any specialist I have as needed, either here in PV or in the USA/Canada? 

A. Yes of course, and that in fact happens regularly. The sharing of information and team work is vital to maximize your chances of a speedy recovery. 

 

Q. Is there a special number to call for the ambulance? 

A. Simply call the My Health number 2262081 and they are trained to take any call, and when it is an emergency, an ambulance will be dispatched immediately. Remember, that as a member the team rushing to assist you will know your medical background so can better help you when they arrive. 

 

Q. Is the person answering the My Health number English spoken? 

A. Absolutely! 

 

Q. How fast will an ambulance arrive at our house? 

A. Of course this can depend on your location. Geographically the membership covers Bucerias to the North, and Mismaloya to the South. We do however have ambulances located in the Downtown area ready to be dispatched, thereby speeding up the process. Our ambulances, which are fully equipped and have a highly trained crew to deal with any situation. Therefore you can rest assured that once the ambulance crew arrives, it can treat you appropriately in transit to Hospiten. 

 

Q. Is any hospitalization included in the membership? 

A. No it is not. Transport to the hospital is, and also your triage at the hospital is. Charges start once treatment is started if that is necessary. Unique to Hospiten, unless it is a life threatening situation, a quote will be prepared for you PRIOR to treatment so you can make an educated decision as to whether to proceed with the treatment recommended.
