So, what is it that you really need to ask when you see your doctor? We have constructed the ultimate list. These are the 10 key questions you want to come prepared with to your next appointment, and they are designed to take advantage of the integrated care model we are providing, ensuring you walk out with a clear and personalized blueprint of what you want to do in the coming year.

The Foundational Questions: The Individualized Screening and Risk Assessment

Your PCP already knows about your medical history, but they require your contribution to help them put all the pieces together.

1. Based on my age, family history, and lifestyle here in Frisco, what are the top three risks that I have in terms of my health that I have to be aware of, and what are the specific things that I have to do to alleviate them?

• a particular change in diet
• A suggestion for our medically supervised Weight Loss Program
• an increased focus on certain laboratory indicators.

Do you think I have all the suggested preventative screenings and vaccinations, and what is the next one?

The importance of this: Health rules evolve, and time passes. The question of when you last received a tetanus vaccination is easily forgotten, or whether you need to get a baseline check-up. It is a matter of having an administrative safety net in place to ensure that you are in agreement with all age- and gender-appropriate preventive measures.

PrimeCare360 Insight: We utilize an extensive electronic health record (EHR) through the patient portal, allowing our staff to monitor all your required preventive care, ensuring you do not miss a vital screening window in early disease prevention.

Moving to our third question:

3. What were my last lab results (in particular, my cholesterol (HDL/LDL) and my A1C levels), and what does this result require me to do at this moment? What action is necessary?

PrimeCare360 Insight: The providers of this company take the time to explain complex values, such as A1C (measuring the average blood sugar over a three-month period), using clear language that is understandable to patients. If your findings indicate that you are pre-diabetic, as in the case mentioned, the next step is usually a consultation on special nutritional measures and a good exercise program.

After asking this, you should move to your next question, which is:

4. My recent (Chronic Symptom: tired, anxious, low energy) has been occurring. Is it related to a chemical imbalance, a chronic issue, or a physical issue that we need to look at?

• thyroid dysfunction
• iron or vitamin deficiency
• hormone changes
• a psychological problem such as anxiety or depression.

PrimeCare360 Insight: Our services cover all these multi-faceted symptoms, such as:

• the screening of mental health
• Specific tests regarding hormonal or vitamin deficiency (Vitamin D is one of the most frequent ones, even in sunny Texas)
• counseling or referral to them if necessary.

Moving to another question:

5. What happens when all the drugs I am taking and any new over-the-counter supplements that I am taking interact, and do any of the drugs that I have long-term usage still require their current dosage?

PrimeCare360 Insight: Always carry a complete and updated list of all your belongings. Your provider will be able to cross-reference this list in order to:

• avoid the possible drug interactions
• Most importantly, whether any long-term prescriptions (such as some blood pressure medications) are still needed or whether the dosage is to be updated in accordance with your better health indicators.

Questions of Lifestyle, Wellness, and Long-Term Strategy

6.What is the most effective and secure exercise program for me, regarding my age, current joint condition, and heart risk factors?

Why this is important: Generalized strategies of telling people to exercise more do not constitute a long-term strategy. An athlete of 30 years of age, preparing to compete in a sport that requires high intensity, does not have the same needs as someone who is 60 years old and has to deal with joint pain. Medically sound advice offered by your PCP can guide you in performing physical activities that can:

• reduce the risk of injury

7. How can I effectively cope with the high-stress requirements of the Frisco professional and family lifestyle to maintain my health in the heart and mind?

PrimeCare360 Insight: This promotes an open dialogue on life stressors. Actionable stress management strategies can be offered by your PCP, and these include:

• prescribing efficient downtime
• prescribing particular breathing exercises

8. Which are some non-standard/ proactive treatments that may be useful to my general well-being, e.g, IV Vitamin Therapy or a particular nutrition plan?

PrimeCare360 Insight: PrimeCare360 provides services such as IV Vitamin Therapy to assist in:

• increasing hydration
• energy
• The immune system is especially beneficial for people who lead a hectic lifestyle, particularly in the hot climate of Texas. The question will create a conversation on how you can leverage these new, additional tools to supplement your basic health plan.

Issues of Access, Communication, and Logistics

9.Between visits, how can you reach your clinical team (that is, non-emergency) to make follow-ups, refill and prescription requests, or to inquire about lab results, etc.?

The reason why it is important: You do not want to make a simple call to the main line because you have a simple question, or you do not want to wait weeks to get a simple answer. Being aware of the preferred mode of practice, whether it is an encrypted Patient Portal (utilized by Healow app for PrimeCare360), a specific nurse line, or an email, will save you time and enable you to direct your inquiry to the appropriate individual effectively. Such transparency enhances the overall patient experience.

10.In case I require a specialist (such as a dermatologist or endocrinologist), how does PrimeCare360 do the referring process, and how do I coordinate my records?

The importance of this is that your PCP is your health quarterback, and they will oversee all of your care team. A continuous process of referral will guarantee:

• continuity
• swiftness
• precision

You have to be sure that your medical records will accompany you, and your specialist will report to your PCP.

PrimeCare360 Insight: We boast of 360-degree care coordination. Verify whether the reference is completed personally by the team of your provider, ensuring the specialist has access to all necessary records and lab results to avoid delays and test repetition.
