Who this list is for
This checklist is for adults arranging an annual physical shortly after relocating to a new city. It’s practical for those establishing new care, transferring medical information, or meeting a new healthcare provider for the first time.
How to use this list
Start by collecting your photo ID, ideally with your current address. Bring your health insurance card and appointment confirmation. Complete any new-patient registration forms ahead of time. Gather contact details for your previous clinician and a signed medical records release form if transferring records. Prepare lists of your current medications, allergies, vitamins, and supplements. Print or bring copies of your immunization record, recent lab, and imaging reports if you have them.
Common mistakes
Don’t assume your previous records will be transferred automatically—bring a signed release form and your old provider’s contact info. Avoid bringing large files or every old record; focus on recent labs, imaging, and immunizations. Many forget to update their address on their photo ID; if you haven’t yet, bring proof of your new address if possible.
