The 6th MDG expands patient support level Published Nov. 9, 2012 By Lt. Megan Meenan 6th Medical Group practice manager MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Your 6th Medical Group aims to provide the "best care anywhere," meeting and exceeding your patient needs and expectations. To do so, we continuously look to enhance current processes and implement new services. A recent addition to our team of world-class health care professionals is our check-out clerk, Laura Peterson. Located at the front desk of the Women's Health Clinic, Peterson will ensure you get the most out of your time in the 6th MDG and provide you with the knowledge and resources to be healthier. Peterson can assist with closing the loop on your medical visit before leaving the clinic. If your primary care manager asks to see you for a follow up appointment, Peterson will book the appointment. She can also check if lab work is needed and help reach the lab to accomplish it on the spot. Additionally, she can verify the status of your personal individual medical readiness to see if you are overdue or coming due on medical health items, and will assist in transitioning from a red or yellow status to green. Should you have any questions with registering for MiCare, the online secure messaging system with your patient-centered medical home team, Peterson can help you register and start the secure messaging process. Ultimately, our check-out clerk is here to assist in accomplishing your medical needs efficiently and to answer questions face-to-face rather than over the phone. For more information, call the 6th MDG Group Practice Management Office at 827-9930.
