Call to Discuss Care

Asking about a minor procedure

Some primary care practices perform certain small, in-office procedures. Which procedures are available depends on the clinician, the equipment and the specific concern.

Rather than assuming a procedure is offered, the best first step is to call, describe what you are looking for and ask how the clinic would approach it. Often a short evaluation visit comes first.

Steps the process may include

If a procedure is being considered, the process may include:

Evaluation of the concern
Medication and allergy review
A suitability assessment
Preparation guidance
Aftercare instructions
A follow-up check

Questions to ask when you call

Is the procedure I am asking about offered at the clinic?
Do I need an evaluation visit before it can be scheduled?
How should I prepare, and is there anything I should stop beforehand?
What does recovery or follow-up usually involve?
How can I check whether my plan covers it?

What an evaluation may involve

Your provider examines the area or concern, reviews your health history and medications, and explains whether a procedure is appropriate, what it involves and the possible risks and alternatives.

If a procedure is suitable and available, you will have a chance to ask questions and give consent. If it is not, your provider can discuss other options or a referral.

Preparing for your visit

Bring a full medication list, including blood thinners and supplements, and mention any allergies to medications, adhesives or latex.

Ask the office whether you need someone to drive you home and whether you should eat beforehand. Follow the specific instructions you are given.
