START WITH YOUR QUESTION
What support do you need for your visit?
These choices support information and appointment coordination. The doctor decides whether any test or procedure is appropriate.
Ask TMG to help coordinate the appropriate next step.
YOUR DIGESTIVE VISIT CHECKLIST
Before your digestive specialist visit.
Open the sections you need. Obtain visit or procedure instructions directly from the hospital.
1. Confirm the specialist and appointment
- Ask for the doctor’s name, gastroenterology specialty and hospital department.
- Confirm the appointment date, arrival time and whether a referral is required.
- Ask whether existing reports are needed in advance and how the hospital accepts them.
- Ask about Myanmar or Shan interpretation and any separate charge.
2. Prepare information for the doctor
- Organize existing consultation notes, laboratory reports and any previous endoscopy or biopsy reports.
- Prepare a list of prescribed and over-the-counter medicines, supplements and allergies.
- Write down your questions and a brief timeline of the concerns you want to discuss.
- Ask how any requested records will be transferred and who will receive them.
You do not need to obtain new tests for this checklist. Do not attach records or passports to your first TMG message.
3. If your doctor recommends endoscopy
- Ask which procedure is proposed, why it is needed, and what its benefits, risks and alternatives are.
- Request written instructions for food, drink, bowel preparation if applicable, and your regular medicines.
- Ask about sedation, accompaniment, transport home and any travel restrictions after the procedure.
- Ask how and when procedure or biopsy results will be explained, and whom to contact about preparation or aftercare.
Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy have different preparation requirements. Follow your own hospital’s instructions; do not stop medicines or start bowel preparation based on this guide.
4. Clarify the quotation and follow-up
- Ask whether consultation, the proposed procedure, sedation or anesthesia and facility fees are included.
- Ask whether biopsy, pathology or any additional procedure has a separate charge if needed.
- Confirm interpretation, follow-up, deposit, cancellation and payment terms.
- Request the hospital’s written quotation, validity dates and exclusions.
An estimate is not a guaranteed price. The hospital issues the final quotation and bill.
