Which word leads to which answer?
When this comes up
You have a set of notes from an advert or visit. The terms are still getting in the way of the questions you want answered.
Start with the question behind the word. Who reviews my health? Who makes the medicine? What will my plan pay? Ask for an answer in ordinary words.
- Assessment
An assessment reviews the health concern you bring to care. Ask what it will include: a conversation about your health and medicines, a physical examination, or tests. Ask what the person treating you needs to know before deciding on a plan.
Questions for the health review- Telehealth
Care delivered without sharing a room, such as a video visit or an online form reviewed later.
Understand an online visit- Compounding
Making a medicine to order instead of supplying one that a drug company sells ready-made.
Ask why it is made to order- Formulary
Your insurance plan's list of medicines it covers. Ask about the exact product and the intended use.
Check the plan's answer- Prior authorization
The step where a plan must agree to pay before coverage goes ahead. Ask what information it requires.
Prepare a coverage question- Professional licence
The state's permission for a person to work in a particular health-care job. Match the person to the correct Arizona board.
