Your First Visit Checklist

A little preparation goes a long way. Use this checklist to make sure you have everything you need for a smooth first appointment at Frontier Clinic.

Your progress0 / 14 ready

01. What to Bring

Have these items with you when you arrive for your appointment.

  • Insurance card(s)

    If you have coverage — bring all active cards.

  • Photo ID

    Driver's license or state-issued ID.

  • All prescription medication bottles

    Bring the actual bottles — not just a list.

  • Medical records (if available)

    Recent labs, imaging results, or specialist notes.

  • Proof of income for sliding scale

    Three recent pay stubs or a notarized employer letter stating household income.

  • Sliding-fee payment

    Due at your appointment if you qualify for the discount.

  • Co-payment (if applicable)

    For insured visits requiring a copay.

02. How to Prepare

A few steps to take before your visit to make the most of your time with your provider.

  • Complete your intake form

    Fill out the online registration before your visit to save time.

  • Write down your medical history

    Conditions, surgeries, hospitalizations, and family history.

  • List your current concerns

    Note symptoms, when they started, and any questions for your provider.

  • Note allergies and reactions

    Medications, foods, or environmental — and the reaction type.

  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early

    Allows time to finalize paperwork and settle in.

  • Ask if fasting is needed

    Some lab work requires fasting — confirm when scheduling.

  • Bring emergency contact info

    Name and phone number of a trusted contact.
