Remember when doctor visits weren't mostly virtual - so you didn't have to worry about when to schedule your next visit? You just did it before leaving. But what is the protocol now? Last time you did an e-visit with your doctor, did they schedule you another visit at the end? Tell you to call the office or that a staff person would contact you? What's the protocol?
We ask because it's come to our attention (as people living with these diseases), that some of our rheumy offices are now reaching out to get us on the calendar for another visit. OOPS!
So if you have visited with one of your doctors, and that visit usually requires a follow-up over the course of a few months, make sure your next visit is on the books!
