MEDICAL ADVISOR JOHAN JURADO Dentist with the Dental Care Hotline The following are some of the most frequently asked questions members of the Dental Elite program ask when they call the Dental Care Hotline: What specialist should I see? What oral healthcare measures should I be aware of if I am receiving treatment for high blood pressure, diabetes or cancer? What is an implant? On the other line is a team of dental experts that can answer each of these questions, providing gui- dance in a less technical way and using simple lan- guage. “Before, during and after an appointment, you can call this hotline to ask your dental healthca- re questions in order to learn information that can make you feel more confident and at ease,” explains Dr. Johan Jurado, part of the team at Coomeva Private Healthcare’s Dental Care Hotline. To access this private oral healthcare program – a service that combines healthcare benefits, preven- tion and aesthetics all in one place – the only requi- rement is to be an affiliate of a Health Promoting Entity (Empresa Prestadora de Salud, EPS). Once you are affiliated you can request an appointment directly with the specialist that best meets your needs; one of the many conveniences, advantages and benefits of private healthcare that come with the peace of mind of this insurance.
