I have had MS for 30 years. So I always came in with a written list of "what's happened since I was here last" and questions. Now I do it through the portal a few days in advance. That gives the doc and nurse time to read it and think about it ahead of time. Its a huge improvement over them thinking on their feet or saying they need to research and get back to me.
My point is, you can ask your questions, present your current symptoms and also make sure they understand your insurance
concerns. That way if they are thinking about a test or scan they can check with insurance ahead of time. The portal is a Godsend.
Good luck!
Sandy.
