How do I prepare for a doctor visit?

Bring with you your PatientAction.com online Health History, health insurance ID card, a list of symptoms you are currently having, either a written list or the containers of all the medications (with the doses) that you are currently taking which includes any herbs, supplements, vitamins, and other over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, your past and current health information including the written results of any lab or diagnostic tests you may have taken. Asking someone you trust to accompany you to act as your patient advocate is always a good idea.
