A question worth asking
What do you know now, and what is next?
You have room to leave a question open. What answer has helped, and what still needs another conversation?
An answer you can explain
Keep a short version in your own words, with the record or person it came from.
An answer still missing
Keep it as a question, with a note about who might answer it.
Bring the pieces together
Begin your notes with the problem you wanted help with. Add the explanation from the person treating you, the medicine being proposed, and the pharmacy name.
Keep the written cost breakdown beside your health insurer’s answer about payment. Check that they refer to the same items.
Then note the evidence that was discussed. Which parts fit your question, and which parts still need explaining?
Choose the next conversation
Ask the person treating you about the reason for treatment, the pharmacist about the medicine, or your health insurer about an expense.
Before a product can be approved, it undergoes review at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the particular use proposed.
The FDA links to each state’s searchable pharmacy license records so you can check an online pharmacy.
Use the source box below when the pharmacy record is the part you still need. Use the page index to return to another open question.
