# Prepare for a Doctor's Visit with AI and Your Records

To prepare for a doctor's visit, connect available records through Flexpa and ask your AI assistant to draft a short history and questions for the appointment. Check the draft against the records and add anything missing before bringing it to your doctor. Treat it as a preparation aid, not a medical assessment.

How it works: Add Flexpa -> Authorize records -> Draft summary -> Review. Add Flexpa's patient-records connection to the assistant and complete the consent flow. Sources use account sign-in or exchange identity verification.

## What to ask for

- A summary of recorded conditions, medications, and allergies.
- Available lab reports with dates, units, and reference ranges.
- Visits listed in the records retrieved, with missing periods noted.
- Questions for your doctor based on the available history.

## Check before sharing

Compare the draft with the source records and your own recollection. Ask your doctor to interpret medical findings rather than relying on the assistant's summary.

## What you can ask

- Summarize my available records on one page and identify gaps
- List available lab reports since my last visit
- What questions should I ask at my appointment?

## Questions

**Can AI help me prepare for a doctor's appointment?** After authorizing a patient-records connection through Flexpa, ask your assistant to summarize available history and draft questions. Check the output against the records and add missing information before sharing it with your doctor.

**Can I send my records to the office ahead of time?** The Flexpa app supports passcode-protected SMART Health Links for sharing available records. Ask the doctor's office whether it accepts that format before sending the link and passcode.

**Should I bring the AI summary instead of my records?** Use a summary based on Flexpa records as a preparation aid. Keep the source records available and ask the doctor's office what documentation it needs.

**Is it free?** Flexpa is free for patients.
