Appointment preparation
Before booking chronic care
You can make your visit go smoothly by jotting down the main reason you're coming in, your current medications, allergies, pharmacy, insurance plan, recent records, and any questions on your mind. If your visit follows recent urgent care, a hospital stay, specialist care, labs, imaging, or a medication change, bring those details along if you have them.
If you're traveling in from Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, or another nearby Yavapai County community, it helps to double-check directions, office hours, insurance details, and any forms before you head out.

Common questions
Common Questions About Chronic Care Management
What conditions can chronic care management organize?
Chronic care management helps you stay organized around long-term health needs. Your visits may cover diagnoses, medication lists, monitoring, labs, referrals, follow-up timing, and care-plan communication. For emergency symptoms, call 911. Your care plan depends on clinician review and your individual situation.
Can Medicare cover chronic care management in Prescott?
Medicare coverage for chronic care management can depend on eligibility, consent, documentation, service rules, and your individual circumstances. Please don't assume coverage before confirming the details. We can walk you through the scheduling and billing process, and you may also want to contact Medicare or your plan about possible costs or responsibilities.
What should I bring for chronic care follow-up?
Bring your current medications, home readings if you track them, recent labs, specialist notes, hospital updates, and any questions about symptoms, refills, or follow-up plans. Having it organized helps us see what has changed since your last visit and what may need attention.
Can chronic care questions be handled by telemedicine?
Sometimes, yes. Some chronic care follow-up questions work well over telemedicine, especially when the concern is non-urgent and doesn't need an in-person exam. Other concerns may need an office visit, testing, or urgent care. Give us a call and we can point you to the right scheduling path.
