Our office will provide instructions for registration, insurance information, and any forms needed before your visit.

Be Prepared

What to bring to your first visit.

Photo ID

A valid government-issued photo ID.

Insurance Card

Bring your current insurance card if you plan to use insurance.

Medication List

A current list of medications, supplements, and dosages.

Medical History

Be prepared to discuss your medical history, prior surgeries, allergies, and important health concerns.

Specialist Information

Names of specialists or other healthcare professionals involved in your care, when relevant.

Relevant Records

Prior medical records, laboratory results, imaging, or vaccination records can be helpful when available.

You do not need to arrive with every previous medical record in order to request an appointment. Our office can help guide you on what information may be useful for your visit.

Your First Visit

A visit focused on understanding your health.

Your first primary care visit is an opportunity to review your health history, discuss current concerns, identify preventive care needs, and develop a plan for ongoing care.

Depending on the reason for your visit, your appointment may include:

  • Review of medical history
  • Medication review
  • Discussion of current symptoms or concerns
  • Vital signs
  • Physical examination when appropriate
  • Preventive screening review
  • Review or ordering of laboratory testing when appropriate
  • Discussion of referrals or follow-up care
  • Development of an ongoing care plan

Not every item is needed at every visit. Your care will depend on your individual health needs and the reason for your appointment.

Medical Records

Transferring your records.

Having access to previous medical records can help provide a more complete picture of your health, especially if you have chronic conditions, recent testing, specialist care, or an extensive medication history.

You Already Have Your Records

Bring or securely provide relevant records according to office instructions.

You Need Records Transferred

Our office can provide guidance on requesting records from your previous healthcare provider.

Wellness Primary Care is working with health insurance plans and also offers options for patients who prefer to pay directly for their care.

Insurance participation and patient responsibility can vary by plan.

Verify Coverage

Contact the office to confirm whether your current plan is accepted.

Bring Your Card

Bring your current insurance card to your visit.

Ask About Self-Pay

Self-pay options may be available for patients who are not using insurance.
