Pre-Visit Questions

  • Do they take my insurance? Are there payment options?
  • What symptoms am I experiencing that I want to focus on?
  • Do I know my medical history (including past or current conditions and/or surgeries I have had)? Are there any illnesses in my family history?
  • Do I have any allergies to medication? What medications or supplements am I taking?
  • Is there anything I need until my appointment (medication, food, transportation, someone to talk to)?
  • Who are the trusted members of my support system? Can someone come with me?
  • What characteristics am I looking for in a health and healing professional (e.g. race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, languages spoken) and why?
  • Is it important that my identity/ies be reflected in my provider?
  • Is the health questionnaire or history form inclusive of my identities and experience?

    Does the provider have experience working with Black folks who reflect my own sexual and gender identities?

  • Does the provider have reliable access options (e.g. online scheduling, wheelchair access, available interpreters)?
