Information
for Patients
Northern
Rockies patient resources are designed to promote patient education
and the streamlining of the doctor/patient relationship.
Explore
our patient education section and learn more
about your condition. If you are planning a visit to NROS, fill
out your forms ahead of time in our Patient Forms section.
Make
your experience worthwhile and efficient by taking advantage of
our online patient resources.
What
to expect on your first visit:
Patients
need to arrive at their appointment fifteen minutes prior to the
time they are scheduled to see the physician.
Patients need
to expect to fill out a history of their medical problem's), past
surgeries, past pertinent family medical history, along with a list
of medication(s) and their doseage(s). Patients will need to bring
their insurance card(s), all prior medical records pertaining to
the current injury, and any prior x-rays, MRI, or CT scans, if any.
Children under
the age of 18 will not be seen without a parent or legal guardian.
Legal guardians must bring a legal consent. Foster parents of children
will need to bring court documentation of guardianship, and either
have all registration forms filled prior to the appointment and
signed by the representative of the Department of Family Services
or the representative needs to be present at the appointment with
the foster child.
Our nursing
staff will then escort you into an exam room, reviewing your history
with you and verifying why you are seeing the physician.
The physician
will review your history and visit with you regarding your concerns.
Please feel free to bring a list of questions and concerns you want
to ask the physician. Our physicians want each patient to feel that
they have addressed all their questions and concerns during their
visit.
You will be
given a form to present to the check out person, who will in turn
set you another appointment if needed, and collect your financial
responsibility of the visit.
