Prepare For Your
Appointment Checklist

Want better appointments? Come prepared. Don't rely on memory.

• Start a few days before. Drop concerns into your MyVisitPal as they come up.
• Prioritize. Most important first. You might have 15–20 minutes. Focus on what matters.
• Be specific. Not "I'm not feeling well." Try "Headaches every morning for two weeks."
• Bring a trusted family member or friend to help you. Learn more at HealthCareProxyMD.com
• Bring your MyVisitPal. Check off as they're answered. Nothing forgotten.

Actually, appointments are short. You've got your questions ready. Now make every minute count.

• Arrive early. Do paperwork beforehand. Your time = with the doctor. Not on forms.
• Bring insurance, ID, medical records from other doctors. One place. Saves time.
• Hand your doctor your MyVisitPal.
• Take notes during the visit. Diagnoses. Treatment plans. Next steps. You won't remember later.
• Don't understand? Ask. Your doctor wants you to get it. Ask again if you need to.
• Before you leave: Confirm what's next. Follow-up tests? When to return? What to watch for?
• Bring a friend or family member. Or have them on the phone. Learn more at HealthCareProxyMD.com
