A written question gives a conversation a starting point.

## Choose a useful starting point

Still exploring

#### No medicine named

Compare online and in-person care. Ask what an assessment would cover.

#### Medicine already named

Find out what kind of product it is and why that option is being discussed.

Ready for a visit

#### Need clear answers

Bring a short list of questions and leave room to ask what an answer means.

#### Need a clear bill

Request the ongoing total, including anything outside the advertised medicine price.

Start by naming the unknown: the visit, the product or the ongoing bill.
