Outpatient Visit

Planmyvisit Banner Outpatient

General Information

317.944.5000

You can make the most of your appointment with your child’s doctor by being prepared for each visit.

Before Your Visit

Before Your Visit

Before leaving for your outpatient visit, make sure that you have the office location and contact information.

For new patients

  • Make a list of any questions you have about your child’s health
  • Write down key information about your child’s medical history, even if it seems unrelated, including family medical history
  • Make note of important personal information
  • Write down any questions or concerns you have for your child’s doctor

Remember to bring these items for both new and existing patients

  • Your child’s current insurance information
  • Form of identification
  • List of all medications your child is currently taking, including how many times per day and the dose (be sure to include both prescription and over-the-counter medications)
  • List of questions or concerns for your child’s doctor
  • Medical records (e.g. X-rays, lab test results, etc.)—your referring physician may have already sent these records, so be sure to ask your doctor before your child’s visit with us
  • Form of payment for any deductible and/or co-insurance required by your insurance plan

During Your Visit

During Your Visit

Our team members are here to help you and your child, and we want to make sure you feel comfortable discussing your child’s needs and sharing your thoughts and concerns. Feel free to ask any questions or ask your doctor to repeat any information you didn’t fully understand.

Start with the questions that are most important to you. If you need help on what types of questions to ask, make sure you ask questions about your child’s:

  • medications
  • tests or procedures
  • referrals
  • when to call the doctor

After Your Visit

After Your Visit

It is important that you understand the plan—or next steps—outlined by your child’s doctor. Be sure you understand and follow the directions given to you by your child’s doctor. Fill any prescriptions you were given, and make sure your child takes them as directed. Follow up to get test results. If you have any questions once you’ve left the appointment, please call your doctor’s office.
