Bringing the Different Parts of Your Care Together

Patients often receive care from several healthcare professionals at once.

A primary care physician may recommend one evaluation, a specialist may order additional testing, and another provider may adjust an existing treatment plan.

Without clear coordination, it can be difficult to keep track of appointments, records, recommendations, and follow-up needs.

Our care management approach helps patients understand how these different elements fit together.

What Care Coordination May Include

Depending on your circumstances and practice arrangement, coordination support may involve:

• Reviewing existing healthcare providers.
• Identifying upcoming appointments and follow-up needs.
• Helping coordinate specialist referrals.
• Assisting with communication between medical offices.
• Reviewing available medical records.
• Organizing relevant diagnostic information.
• Discussing treatment recommendations from multiple providers.
• Supporting transitions between different care settings.
• Identifying questions that should be addressed before the next appointment.
• Helping patients and families maintain continuity.

Available services vary based on the patient’s needs and program terms.

Coordination for Patients With Multiple Specialists

Care can become more complicated when several specialists are involved.

Each provider may focus on a specific part of your health, but you still need someone who understands the broader picture.

We help patients consider how different evaluations and recommendations relate to their overall care.

Our goal is to reduce confusion and support more consistent communication.

For member referrals and care coordination, Dr. Faremouth maintains relationships with qualified medical specialists in Naples, Miami, and Tampa. These specialists are independent clinicians and are not employees or formal partners of My Private Doctor.

Support for Families and Caregivers

Family members often play an important role in helping loved ones manage healthcare.

With appropriate patient authorization, we can include designated family members or caregivers in relevant conversations when appropriate.

This can help ensure everyone understands the current plan, upcoming needs, and next steps.

Care Transitions and Follow-Up

Changes in healthcare settings can create additional confusion.

A patient may need follow-up after a specialist visit, diagnostic procedure, hospital stay, or change in treatment.

When appropriate, we help patients identify outstanding questions and determine what additional appointments or coordination may be needed.
