When you make your appointment, be clear about why you need to see the health care provider:

Do you need an annual checkup? Follow up, or regular appointment with your health care provider?
Is your visit about a new problem? Be sure to say whether you need to see the health care provider right away (is your problem urgent?).
Is your visit to see a nurse, health educator, or physician? Bring your BaSHRA Membership Medical Card with you to the visit for fast, efficient, and member-priced services. Also, make a list of questions or concerns you have.
