For all visits, if you are using insurance be sure to call your insurance provider and check your benefits as to what is covered and what your responsibility may be regarding non-covered services, services already used, co-pays, co-insurance, prior authorizations, and deductibles. It is important you understand what your coverage entails so that there are no surprises later on. As the customer of the insurance company, it is your responsibility to understand what you have purchased as we often will not get correct information when we call on your behalf.
Additionally, it may help to write out what you’d like to discuss during your visit and bring it with you. We all can forget pieces of what we’d like to say when we’re in the visit and in the midst of discussion. By having your notes with you, you can be sure that you won’t forget something that you were hoping to talk about.
