Preparing for a Visit
Most executives arrive the day before their appointments because testing procedures begin as early as 7 a.m. The Mayo Executive Health Program is an outpatient program.
Things to Bring
When you come to Mayo Clinic for your appointment, please bring:
- A list of your current medications and how much you are taking of each. (You may bring the bottles or containers with you to your first appointment.)
- Pertinent medical information and X-rays supplied by your local physician, if requested by Mayo Clinic.
- Any forms that Mayo requested.
- The name, address and telephone number of the physician who referred you, if applicable.
- Written authorization of referral from your HMO, PPO, or other health plan.
- Your health insurance card, if you have one.
- A copy of your living will or advance directive, if applicable. (If you have one, it is important that you bring a copy for your physician to review. It will then be placed in your medical record.)
- Your Mayo Clinic registration number, if you were given one at an earlier visit.
- Items to help pass the time while you wait between appointments. (You may bring a battery-powered laptop computer if you wish.)
Clothing for Your Visit
Informal clothing is best; we urge you to place comfort ahead of appearance. Consider wearing sneakers or comfortable shoes as a treadmill test may be part of the evaluation.
