Instructions and help about Chapter 8 Coverage Of Extended Care SNF Services Under Hospital Insurance

Hi. Welcome to your first visit. Don't forget to check in at the front desk, have a seat, and wait for your name to be called. When talking with your provider, don't be shy. Ask plenty of questions. They're there to help. Here are a few things you can ask: How is my health? What can I do to maintain or improve it? Do I need a test, such as blood work? If so, where do I go and when will I have the results? If you have a health condition, ask what will happen if I don't treat it. If your doctor prescribes medication, ask what it's for and when it should be taken. Are there any side effects? Also, feel free to ask when you should schedule your next visit. And finally, and most important, don't leave the office until you understand your health. That does it for your first visit. In the next chapter, we'll help you decide if that provider was right for you.
