For Your First Visit
As a new patient at Compass Oncology, we want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and informed. Prior to your first visit and to reduce your wait time, you may wish to print and complete our new patient forms in their entirety, then bring them to your first appointment. You will also need to discuss these items with your physician.
We recommend you bring another person with you to your first appointment, which may last 1-2 hours.
Your first oncology appointment could include the following:
- Meeting and new-patient evaluation with your physician.
- Any additional tests needed for an accurate diagnosis to help guide your treatment plan.
- Meeting with your nurse and other members of your care team.
- Meeting with one of our patient benefits representatives to discuss your insurance and billing questions.
We also encourage you to review the frequently asked questions below, which you may wish to discuss with your nurse or physician during your visit. We also have a very of resources available to patients based on their specific cancer type.
We offer medical chaperones for sensitive exams. If you would like one present for your exam, please let us know.
