Particular PG

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) patient demographic information
Hola amigos,

I'm proofreading an MRI report. At the top of the page it gives the patient's general information such as Edad, Sexo, Registro, Estudio Realizado / Reportado, etc. Then there is "Institución: Particular PG"

I think Institución refers to the patient's medical insurance? Then I think "Particular" should be translated as "Private" (the translator left it as "Particular" which seems incorrect to me). And then we have the PG abbreviation, which I can't figure out. The closest possibility I find in Cosnautas under PG is "población general" ... but I'm not sure if this fits here.

How should this "Particular PG" entry be translated, and what does PG stand for here, specifically? (and please confirm whether "Institución" means insurance provider here, or something different).

¡Mil gracias!

Haven't found a satisfactory answer Hi Helena and Giovanni. Thank you for trying to help with this one. (I had forgotten I still had it open, just happened to see it.) Best wishes to both of you.

@Joseph I don't know how the healthcare system works in Mexico, but I'm certain that "particular" is not the right word to use here. "particular" means "private" as in "clases particulares" (private lessons). I'm not sure what word to use here, but it means the patient is paying for his medical expenses out of his own pocket. In Colombia, "institución" would refer to "healthcare provider" [institución prestadora de servicios de salud]. And finally, about "PG", my best guesses would be "paciente general" or "paciente geriátrico." In any event, I hope you will find any of this information useful, and please let us know if you find the answer. Have you checked with your client yet?

@Giovanni Ciao Giovanni, thanks for responding.

The report is from Mexico.

(You're right ... I didn't think to include this information here. I did mention it in the other question you helped me with!)
Giovanni Rengifo Mar 3, 2022:
@Joseph Where's the report from? That's an important piece of information we're missing here.
Joseph Tein (asker) Mar 2, 2022:
@Helena Hi Helena, thanks for your comment. Let's see if someone who has more direct knowledge of this will show up.

@Joseph I agree with your suggestion, though I'm afraid I can't find anything that proves you're right.
