Who this list is for
This checklist is designed for adults heading to a urology office for an outpatient prostate biopsy. It’s meant for patients who want to stay organized and avoid last-minute stress on procedure day. If your urologist or clinic gave you specific instructions, always follow those first. Only pack what the office allows.
How to use this list
Start by reading any preparation instructions from your urologist. Lay out your bag the night before. Gather your photo ID, insurance card, and your appointment confirmation. If your office needs a referral or prior authorization, include those documents. Add your medication list and medication allergy list. If the office requested recent test results, print or bring those. Pack your phone and charger. If you wear eyeglasses or hearing aids, bring their cases. Choose loose, comfortable pants and easy-on shoes for the day. Cross off each item as you add it to your bag.
Common mistakes
People often bring too much. Don’t pack extra electronics, valuables, or anything the office says to leave at home. Avoid wearing belts, tight pants, or shoes that are hard to remove. Forgetting your medication list or allergy list can slow down check-in. Double-check that you have all required paperwork—missing a referral or authorization can delay your procedure.
