What do I say when I call?
Someone asks what is going on, what has been tried before, and what insurance you have. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
What do I need to have with me on day one?
Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Put the medication list together before anything else, and include doses and who prescribed them.
