What to Bring to Your New Patient Appointment

To help us provide safe, efficient, and timely care, please bring the following items with you to your first visit with University Urology.

Required Items

  • Driver’s license or photo ID
    A government-issued photo ID is required for registration and verification.
  • Insurance card
    Please bring your current insurance card for each plan you would like us to bill. If your coverage has recently changed, let our staff know at check-in.
  • List of medications and medical history
    Bring a current list of all medications you take (including over-the-counter medicines and supplements), along with any major medical conditions, prior surgeries, and allergies.

Prior Records and Imaging

Prior records and imaging are extremely important for your visit.

  • Imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray)
    If your imaging was performed outside of the University of Tennessee system, please bring the physical disc with the images to your appointment. This can usually be obtained from the radiology department or facility where your imaging was done.

    If we do not have access to your actual images (not just the report), your evaluation and treatment plan may be delayed, and in some cases your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
  • Prior urology records, procedure notes, or pathology reports (if available)
    Please bring any relevant records from urologists, oncologists, or other specialists who have evaluated or treated your condition. If you're a self referral patient, you should physically bring or send these materials through the patient portal or Klara a week prior to your appointment.

Pharmacy and Physician Information

  • The name and phone number of your preferred pharmacy
    This helps us send in any prescriptions electronically during or after your visit.
  • Your referring physician and primary care provider
    Please provide the name of the doctor who referred you and the name of your primary care provider.
  • Additional physicians who should receive your records
    Let us know the names of any other physicians who should receive a copy of your office visit notes, test results, or treatment plan. We are happy to share your information with your care team.

Questions?

If you are unsure whether you have everything you need for your visit, please contact our office before your appointment. Bringing these items with you helps us make the most of your time in clinic and avoid delays in your care.
