Talking with Care Providers

You are a key member of your health care team. Therefore, it is essential that you develop a relationship where you feel you can ask questions, bring up your concerns, ask for clarification or request options in planning your care. Since you are paying for these services either through insurance, co-pays or a combination of payment plan, you will receive better care if you can have an open relationship with your care provider and approach concerns with confidence that you will receive answers and direction.
