Bring a question. Expect a clear answer.
Questions for the visit, with space for answers.
Use this as a conversation sheet when you evaluate a provider found elsewhere. Choose the questions you want answered before deciding.
Start with the problem
Bring this page to the conversation or print it from your browser. Pick the questions that fit and leave room for the replies.
- What do you think explains my concern?
- Why discuss sermorelin for that problem?
- What other options, including no treatment, can we discuss?
- What evidence fits my age, my concern, and the exact form being offered?
Notes: the problem, the options, and what still needs checking.
Identify the people and the product
- Name the person who would assess me: what professional role do they hold?
- Where can I check their permission to practice where I will be?
- Which pharmacy or facility would make and send the medicine?
- What is the exact preparation, and what compounding route applies?
- Can I have those names and answers in writing?
Notes: the clinician name, the maker name, and the record to check.
Use the clinician check →Use the pharmacy check →Ask what happens before and after
- What information or examination is needed before a decision?
- What would each test tell us?
- What would tell us that this plan is making a useful difference?
- What unwanted effects and uncertainties need discussion?
- Who answers a concern between visits?
- What would lead you to change or stop the plan?
Notes: the next decision, who makes it, and how to reach them.
Put the payment terms beside the plan
- Can I have a written total with each separate charge?
- Which charges still apply when the clinician writes no prescription?
- What changes after an introductory offer?
- What are the repeat fees and cancellation terms?
- What remains unanswered before I agree?
Notes: included items, separate charges, and the payment I have agreed to.
An unanswered question can stay unanswered for now. Write down who will check it and ask for the reply before deciding.
If a claim is doing the persuading, ask to see what supports it.
