After the Health Care Visit


Get prescription medications filled. Often, the doctor will send your prescription directly to your pharmacy.

You must pick up your medication at the pharmacy when it is ready.

Set up your next doctor’s appointment before you leave.

Add new appointments to your calendar/schedule.

Share information about your visit with any important people in your life. You can choose who and what to share.

Go over your after-visit summary document with your support person.

Ask them what they think went well and what could have been better during the visit.

Call the doctor’s office if you need more information or have questions.
