How to prepare to speak to your provider in a way that they can help you
In this segment, we'll talk about how to most effectively use the time you have during your appointment. Here are some things to think about:
How long is your appointment?
How much of this time do you want to take to explain what's going on?
How long do you want to leave your provider to digest this information and think about what to recommend?
We'll also explain how your insurance may limit the choices your provider can recommend.
And we'll talk about other things that may be impacting your provider, such as how your provider might react if you become emotional during the appointment. Remember, you are one of many patients your provider is seeing in a day, and your provider is a human with their own emotions and triggers as well.
With some pre-planning, you can learn how to get the most out of each appointment.
