POV: You survived a hectic clinic morning that began with your first patient arriving 20 minutes late. You made up for lost time and now have 30 minutes to decompress and get yourself in the right headspace for a full afternoon. But then you sit down at your desk and see the tiny envelope indicating unread messages in your inbox or the voicemail light flashing on your phone. You realize that your precious 30-minute decompression time is going to be spent counseling or troubleshooting with your patients, while you take bites of your sandwich in between sentences.

Good News: It doesn’t have to be this way! MED-EL’s premier Recipient Support Services team is here to take work off of your plate, so that you can put your lunch on it instead.

We offer multiple avenues for your patients to receive additional support. Think of our services as extensions of your care.

We’ll save you time by:

• Answering common questions
• Facilitating appropriate expectations
• Describing options on order forms
• Providing tips to prepare for surgery
• Explaining what to expect at activation
• Getting candidates connected to recipients of a similar history
• Troubleshooting equipment
