At a glance

Use the hospital’s intake instructions, a submission index and receipt/readability confirmation, then track questions and additional records after the remote call.

For a first remote IVF consultation, use the hospital’s requested-records list to prepare a focused submission, then confirm receipt before the call. This page covers sending, locating and following up on documents remotely. For the broader categories of records to gather, use the initial-consultation records checklist.

Before submission: get the hospital’s intake instructions

Ask which records are required for this appointment, whether any may follow later, and whether the call will be with a doctor or another team member. Confirm the consultation scope, platform, time zone, language needs and any fee before booking. Requirements are set by the receiving hospital for your case.

  • Confirm the recipient or department and the permitted submission channel.
  • Ask about file types, size limits, translations and the requested submission timing.
  • Ask how the hospital confirms receipt and whom to contact about unreadable or missing files.

Prepare a short submission index

Send the requested records with an index that maps each file to its document type, original date, source and language. Preserve original values, units and pages. Keep original-language documents paired with any translation rather than replacing them.

Index field What to enter
File name and document Use the exact name of the file you are sending.
Date and source Copy dates and the issuing clinic or laboratory as shown; mark unstated information instead of guessing.
Pages and language Note page counts and any paired translation.
Status Available, partial, requested or unavailable.

For detailed labelling and original-unit checks, see record fidelity and file naming. If records span several IVF cycles, use a cycle-by-cycle index.

Send and confirm receipt

Use the channel the hospital has confirmed and keep your own copies. Do not send portal passwords or unrelated personal documents. Ask the recipient to confirm which files arrived, whether they can open and read them, and whether anything is still missing.

Keep that acknowledgement with the index. A successful upload is not the same as confirmation that the reviewing team has a usable file set.

During the call: keep records easy to find

  • Have the same index and file names available as the hospital.
  • Refer to a report’s page and original date when asking a question.
  • Ask whether the appointment platform supports shared document viewing; otherwise use page references.
  • Ask the clinician to explain results and any clinical implications. The document organiser does not interpret them.
  • Record any additional document requests and who should provide them.

After the call: follow up on the actual gaps

Update the index with the hospital’s requests. For each missing item, record its source, the person responsible for obtaining it and the next contact step. Use the missing-documents follow-up list instead of sending a second unlabelled bundle.

Ask how to submit later records, whether the team will acknowledge the revised set, and how you can arrange a clinical discussion of unresolved questions. Do not assume that a general reply from a coordination team is a doctor’s interpretation.

Frequently asked questions

Should I send every record I have before the first remote appointment?

Ask the hospital which records are needed for this particular appointment and which may follow later. Use its instructions rather than assuming that a larger bundle is always better.

How do I know the hospital received usable files?

Ask the named recipient to confirm the file list, whether the files open and are legible, and any remaining gaps. Save that acknowledgement with your index.

How should I handle records in another language?

Confirm the receiving hospital’s translation requirements. Keep the original-language document linked to its translation and preserve dates, values and units.

What if the clinician requests more records during the call?

Record each requested item, its source, who will obtain it and how it should be submitted. Confirm whether another clinical discussion is needed after the new documents arrive.

Can someone help organise the remote submission?

Thailand PGT can assist with record organisation and communication or coordinate appointment arrangements. Confirm the individual scope and fees; clinicians remain responsible for medical interpretation and care decisions.

Related preparation

Ask Thailand PGT about organising a remote record submission or coordinating appointment communication. Discuss the support you need. Scope and any applicable fees are confirmed individually; clinicians make medical decisions.
