What do you know about your/our insurance? (HMO vs. PPO? Referral policy? Dental/Vision insurance?

Do you feel comfortable going to/scheduling visits alone (for PCP and specialty)?

How do your/our pharmacy benefits work? (Prescriptions? Locations?)

Do you know how to use the patient portal?

Do you feel comfortable managing your medications? How do you get a refill for your medications?
