Preparing For Your Visit

Whether it's your first visit to the specialist or you are preparing your child for a test or stem cell transplant, you are no doubt feeling scared and apprehensive. The following information is provided to help reduce some anxiety and prevent adding unnecessary stress for both you and your child.

Before your visit

Prior to your visit, you will want to contact your managed care provider with questions about your insurance coverage, co-payments or deductibles. You may also be contacted by a patient registration representative with benefit information for your service. Depending on your situation, you may want to meet with someone from our social services department for assistance with financial issues and, if you are coming from out of town, information on transportation and accommodations.
