Your First Appointment at the Heart & Vascular Institute

We're eager to start assessing your heart and health issues, while providing you with the best treatments so you can keep on living your life. To ensure that you get the attention you need as soon as possible, we need your help.

Prepare for your first appointment with the following resources:

• Billing and insurance

At your first appointment with the Heart & Vascular Institute at UPMC Susquehanna, we will need to update our records with you. If you can bring a list of current medications and past medical records, it will help us expedite the process so we can get to the heart of the situation.

Once in our office, you will fill out new patient forms. They will ask you about personal health history, your lifestyle and family history of illness. Try to answer the questions as best you can, so we can be as thorough as possible in assessing your condition.

Your first appointment will be a general examination with a doctor, who may decide to order additional testing or services depending on your condition. Our skilled physicians will do everything they can to make sure your first appointment goes smoothly and that you understand each step of the way.
