What is the Process for a Consumer to Post a Procedure on Bid For Surgery?
• Patients post their desired procedure(s) A consumer/potential patient logs onto MedicineOnline.com at www.medicineonline.com, clicks through Bid For Surgery, selects the desired medical specialty, and selects the desired procedure within that specialty (for example, cosmetic surgery as the specialty and rhinoplasty as the specific procedure). When the patient selects a desired procedure, a simple procedure-specific personal/medical form is provided. A patient could choose to have more than one procedure performed at the same time (for example, face lift and rhinoplasty) and would fill in multiple forms. After completing the data form, and clicking on “Submit,” the desired procedure and form is posted to a password-protected secure server without revealing the identity of the patient. Again, all identifying information is kept private but accessible to the patient. Doctors see only the anonymous form identified by an auction number and patient number. • 72-hour competitive bidding pro
