Have important questions ready (write them down) before going to your appointment, remember you are in control of your visit.
If you are concerned about confidentiality, make sure to ask the clinic staff whether a parent/caregiver will need to be notified. Also keep in mind that the bill or explanation of benefits from the insurance may list details about your visit and the services you received.
