Questions for a first conversation
You can bring a short list. Pick the questions that feel most useful, and ask for the answers in words you can repeat back.
Start with the person and the assessment
Who will assess me, and who would write the prescription? What is their full name and professional role?
What authority lets that person treat me while I am in Minnesota? Where can I check the record?
What else do you need to understand my health concern? How do I send a question after this conversation?
Then ask about the proposed care
What is the exact medicine? Would I take it as a pill or a shot? Which of my health concerns would this medicine address?
What other options can we discuss? What would help us decide whether this option is a good fit?
Which pharmacy would prepare and send it? Can I have the full name before I pay?
Make the money and follow-up clear
What does the written price include? Which charges repeat, and what changes after an opening offer?
Who reviews test results? What happens if another visit or an in-person exam is needed?
How do I reach someone with a question after the visit? What are the terms for cancelling recurring charges?
If the answer feels too dense
Try: “Can we pause on that word?” Or: “Can you tell me what that means for my next step?” Write down the part that remains unclear.
Minnesota provides public licence searches, as checked October 1, 2026. A name and role give you a way to check the person rather than relying on an advert.
Keep the source in reach

Leave with names, reasons, costs, and a next step. A question left open is worth writing down, too.
