How to Prepare for Your Immunology New Patient Appointment
To help you prepare for your visit, please review the information below.
Please be aware, we are unable to receive text replies. If you have questions about your appointment, need to cancel or reschedule, please call us @ 503-228-0155.
Please ALWAYS bring a current insurance card with you to your visit. Plans are often updated or slightly modified especially at the beginning of a year. We will need to check your card each visit for any changes and scan if needed. Incorrect insurance billing information can cause delays in processing your claim and cause charges to be transferred to you until correct information is obtained. If you are covered by more than one insurance, please bring ALL insurance cards to your visit.
Additionally, please bring a valid photo ID to your visit. If the patient is a minor, please have a parent/guardians photo ID available.
This appointment is scheduled to discuss potential immune deficiency. Therefore, it is a consult without allergy skin testing. If that does not seem correct, please call our office and talk to one of our clinical team.
If you are able, please submit to our office via the portal (call for an invite to the portal) or bring with you to your appointment any vaccine history. We will be most interested in any tetanus, diphtheria, and pneumococcal vaccines you have received (date and type).
We will also be asking about your history of infections. Feel free to make a list of major infections you have dealt with in your life - when they were and what treatment was required. We will be reviewing your infection history at your visit.
If you have seen other providers for this condition, it is very helpful to receive records from them. This applies even if you are requesting a second opinion. Knowing what lab work and assessment has been done is very helpful to avoid repetition and maximize the value of your time.
