Patient Decision Journey
1
Consultation & Assessment

Once your doctor has identified you as a candidate for SCS, a 5th Vital Care Coordinator will meet with you in person or over the phone. We review your history with pain, and provide you a scheduling plan, educational materials, and peer access. We will review and work with your specific insurance requirements to get you scheduled for the pre-screening assessment.

2
Trial Period

Once you have completed your pre-screen assessment, we will assist in scheduling your trial implantation. The trial period can last 5-10 days and will determine if SCS relieves your pain. After your trial period is complete, you will return to your physician to determine whether to move forward with a permanent SCS device.

3
Permanent Procedure & Follow-Up

Prior to your permanent procedure, your Care Coordinator will help finalize last minute details for your surgery. If requested, your Care Coordinator can be on-site with your family during your surgery. Post-surgery, we will follow your progress and continue to offer support.
