Please see my response below. Do you think this type of patient would be a good fit for the consultative medical group that is a subspecialty group, I believe, under General Internal medicine? I would like to refer that patient. He is currently a Mayo patient but receives surgery related services. Those surgeons do not seem familiar with Internal Medicine programs -at least not for surgical outpatient patients like him.
I, myself, have been a patient at Mayo since about 1990. Back in the 1990s and through until about 2015, I also received primary care or internal medicine services. The internal medicine physician or NP scheduled all your appointments and then saw you at the "end" - helping you put together the information you received. It was a great service but Mayo disbanded that service at least for non employee outpatients like myself, concentrating on providing specialty and subspecialty services. My understanding is that Mayo employees and family members can continue to be seen by Internal Medicine type providers and this type of program is also available through the Executive Physical program. (I, myself, continue to see appropriate subspecialty providers and that works for me.)
Thank you for any information.
