6. Medical companies you use and contact information 7. Emergency contact information – The American
Academy of Pediatrics provides a form called “Emergency Information Form for Children with Special Needs. This form can be obtained online and provided to your Primary Care Physician for completion. Keep it current.
8. Medications – List all medications, along with date of prescription, what it was prescribed for, prescribing physician’s name and contact information, the current dosage, strength and frequency of administration. Note medications your child may be allergic to, what the medication was used for, what symptoms your child experienced that indicated an allergic reaction and what if any action was taken or needed. This list can be copied by the staff and included in your child’s records. In addition to providing your physician with a concise list, it alleviates the possibility of an error being made in transcribing your child’s medications.
Check the status of prescription medications before the appointment in the event refills are needed. This will enable you to have the physician write orders for any needed refills at the time of the appointment.
9. Pharmacy contact information.
10. Immunization records. Regardless of the type of appointment, you will be asked if your child’s immunizations are current.
11. Lab work notes – If your child is on a medication(s) that require monitoring, make note of the date of the last lab work that was done. If you have a copy of the results, take those for the physician’s review.
If
your child is due for follow-up lab work, bring it to the physician’s attention so the order can be written during your visit.
12. Insurance and Billing information, such as the primary insurance holder’s name, social security number, contact and employment information
