SFHC Shadyside Family Health Center (SFHC) Visitors Guide Contents
1. Your Visit to the Clinic: âWhat do you expect when you see your doctor?â 2. Basic Information about SFHC 3. A List of Japanese-Speaking Doctors Working at SFHC; as of March 2011.
Chapter 1. Your Visit to the Clinic: âWhat do you expect when you
see your doctor?â Introduction There are several differences between visiting a medical clinic in the U.S. and visiting one in Japan. This guide is designed to educate you about your visit to our clinic so that you know what to expect and can better prepare. We believe that this book will be helpful not only for patients who are visiting our clinic but also for patients who are visiting any clinic in the U.S.
Step 1 Before You Come to the Clinic
⢠Do you have your insurance card? If you donât have an insurance card because you just purchased your insurance, you need to know your insurance ID number and group number as well as the subscriberâs name (the person who actually purchased the insurance.).
⢠We recommend that you bring a pen or pencil in case you want to take notes.
⢠You might experience a long wait (as long as 1 hour). Therefore, we recommend you bring a book or a magazine to read while you are waiting. If you bring children with you, you might want to bring some snacks or diapers with you.
⢠We recommend that you arrive fifteen minutes before your actual appointment. Please leave your house early.
⢠Please follow your doctorâs instructions regarding your visit (e.g. Last visit, your doctor advised you to come to the office fasting because the doctor wants to order blood tests for blood sugar and cholesterol.)
⢠We also recommend that you bring your copy of this guidebook with you.

Step 2 To the Clinic <Parking>
Parking is located next to Shadyside Family Health Center (SFHC) between Urgent Care and SFHC. Please do not park your car in the parking lot of Shadyside Hospital across from SFHC. When you drive into the parking lot, you will push the button to open the gate and take a parking ticket. You will need to exchange this parking ticket with a token that will allow you to exit the parking lot. You can receive token at the front desk, registration or from the nurse in the phlebotomy room. <Entering the Clinic>
Our clinic is located on the second floor of the building. There are two entrance doors. Both doors will lead you to the front-desk. (Please see the picture). If you need to use the elevator or automatic doors, please use the entrance on the lower level. If you use this entrance, please turn left. The elevator is at the end of the hallway. Take the elevator to the second floor. Step 3 In the Clinic <Front Desk>
When you arrive at the waiting area, you will check in with the front-desk staff. The staff will ask for the basic information below; please prepare for their questions. If necessary, please utilize our â Appointment Request Cardâ. If this is your first visit: ï¿œ Your health insurance company and its type of plan - You can just show
them your insurance card. If your health plan is an HMO or Medicaid, you will be asked for the name of your designated Primary Care Doctor
(PCP) on the insuranceãIf the doctor does not work in our office and
you still want to see a physician in our clinic, the staff will ask you to change the designated PCP to one of our doctors by contacting the insurance company. If you have a PPO or indemnity plan, you should be able to see any physician without restriction. (Please check with your insurer in advance.)
ï¿œ Name â This is very important. Make sure that the front desk staff spells your name properly. Just as many Japanese have trouble with the spelling of American names, many Americans struggle with the romanized spelling of Japanese names.
ï¿œ DOB (Date of Birth) â You can say, âMay 23rd 1970â. But the easier way would be to say âfive â twenty third â seventyâ. This way works well.

ï¿œ Address â You will be asked for your full address and zip code. ï¿œ Emergency contacts - home phone # and cell # ï¿œ Appointment time â If you have an appointment. ï¿œ If you come to the clinic without an appointment, in addition to the
information above, the staff will ask if you want to see a physician for a âSick visitâ. A âSick visitâ is a type of visit where a patient has a medical issue that requires a doctorâs urgent attention. If you ask the staff for a âSick visit â appointment, they will try to schedule you with a physician who has an opening. (They usually try to find openings in Japanese doctorsâ schedules first.) If all slots are full, they will advise you to go to the Urgent Care Clinic located next-door.
ï¿œ If your visit is not a âSick visitâ, the staff will ask when and who you want to see in the clinic. You do not need to stick with the designated PCP on your insurance plan. You can choose any physician working at our clinic. If you have any concern about making appointments in English face-to-face with the front desk staff, please use the Appointment Request Card.
ï¿œ (Optional) SSN (Social Security Number) â They might ask your SSN. If you do not have an SSN, you can just say, âI do not have a Social Security Number.â
If this is not you first visit, you will be asked for:
ᅵ Name ᅵ DOB (Date of Birth) ᅵ Appointment time if you have an appointment. If not,
they will ask if this is a âSick visit â or not. If you scheduled your appointment online with HealthTrak, you will be asked for:
ᅵ Name ᅵ Appointment time
â Front desk staff will enter your information in the computer. After they confirm your appointment or schedule your âSick visitâ, they will ask you to wait in the waiting area until you are called. You will wait until the registration staff call you to the registration area.
â There are magazines and books in the waiting area but all of them are written in English.
â We have a kids-space next to the waiting area. In this area, toys and childrenâs books are available. Please use the space if you bring your children. You can bring a few books or small toys from the kids-space into the examination room, but you must return them.
â There is a restroom in the kids-space area for patients. If you want to use it, please ask the front desk staff for the key. There are also two restrooms available in the examination area.

About Copay You can find your copayment amount on your insurance card. For
UPMC health plans (picture), note that âOffice Visits ïŒ5/20â is written at the
bottom of the card. The amount of your copay varies based on your health insurance plan. $5(the lower fee) is the copay for annual physical and annual gynecological exams. If you visit the office for a âSick visitâ, you will pay $20. If you visit for both, $20 (the higher fee) will be applied. Upon completing the registration procedures, the registration staff will give you a payment receipt and patient demographic sheet described above, then the staff will buzz you in at the door next to the registration area. (Picture) <Flow Area>
When you pass through the door, you will find the area where a nursing assistant will measure your weight and blood pressure. This area is called âflowâ by staff. (Picture)
Before you go in the area, you will drop off the â patient demographic sheetâ in the bin near this area. (Picture) The bin is located on the left wall just beyond the âflowâ area. A nursing assistant will take your blood pressure and weigh you. You might need to wait in one of the chairs next to the âflowâ. A nursing assistant will do the following:
â If this is your first visit, they will measure the following:
⢠Blood pressure with a blood pressure machine
⢠Body temperature ïŒThe nursing assistant will check orally.ïŒ
⢠Body weightïŒThe nursing assistant will not ask you to take off
shoes. ïŒ
⢠If you are an adult patient, they may not scale your height and just ask you how tall you are in feet and/or inches. Therefore, it is good for you to know your height in feet and inches.
â If this is not your first visit, a nursing assistant will measure the following:
⢠Blood pressure
⢠Body temperature
⢠Body weight
â If you are visiting for Well Child Visit for your children, she will hand you the following:
⢠PEDS FORM â screening form for well child visit. (With each Well Child Visit)
⢠MCHAT questionnaire -- Screening form for autism. (Only when child is 18months old or 2 years old.)
