Preparing
for your first appointment: PAPP Clinic
wants to make your visit with us both easy and pleasant.
To help serve you better, we recommend the following:
Completed Paperwork. In order to
register you for your visit as quickly as possible,
please click on the attached form,
Patient Information, print out at
home, and complete all questions. Bring this
form with you at your arrival time at the
registration desk.
Arrival Time. Arrive 20-30 minutes
before your scheduled appointment time in order
to complete any necessary paperwork.
Insurance Information. Bring a
form of identification and current copy of your
medical insurance card. If your insurance carrier
requires a referral, bring referral numbers and
forms. If your treatment is covered by Workers'
Compensation, bring a letter of authorization from
your insurance carrier.
Medical Records: Please have your medical
records from previous physicians transferred to
the office of your scheduled appointment. For children,
bring their current record of immunizations.
X-Rays and/or Scans: If appropriate to
your visit, please bring any available X-rays or
scans or have them sent to arrive by the time of
your appointment.
A List of All Medications: Please
bring a list of all medications you currently are
taking or have taken recently, whether over-the-counter
or prescription. Include the strength and dosage
of each medication.
A list of Personal Health Questions or Concerns:
Before each appointment, write down any questions
or concerns that you would like to discuss with
your physician. It may help to make a list of your
current health problems. Tell the physician when
your symptoms first started and what you have done
to take care of the problem. Some people find it
helpful to bring someone along to remind them to
ask questions or help them understand and remember
the advice provided. Always ask your doctor or nurse
to explain anything you don’t understand.
Take Notes. Writing down instructions will
help you remember them after you leave.
Follow-up appointment. Your physician
may want you to return in a few weeks for a follow-up
appointment. Make sure you schedule this with the
receptionist before you leave the building.
