Patient Responsibilities at Volunteers in Medicine*

I understand that the medical care at VIM is provided by volunteer doctors, nurses, and other caregivers, with a minimum of paid staff. There may be limits on availability, delays, or rescheduling.I will treat the volunteers, doctors, nurses and other medical providers with dignity and respect. If I am discourteous to staff or volunteers, I may be discharged from VIM.I understand that VIM provides basic health care and may not be able to help with all of my medical problems or provide all of the medications I need.I understand that if I have 3 no-shows in 12 months I may be discharged from VIM. All cancellations must be 24 hours before my appointment to avoid being a no-show. I will be at the clinic 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment. If I am late, I may be counted as a no-show and may have to reschedule.I agree to follow the treatment my provider advises, or I may not be able to be seen at VIM again.I understand that some lab tests and outside procedures are not free. The clinic only pays for basic laboratory services. It is my responsibility to inquire ahead of time about fees and sometimes pay for certain tests.If I am referred to an specialist outside of VIM, it is my responsibility to get directions and arrange for transportation. If necessary, it is my responsibility to arrange for payments. These tests and procedures can be very expensive, so if I miss the appointment, (and do not call both VIM and the Specialists’ office), I may be discharged from VIM.I will bring ALL medications with me for my visit. If I am a diabetic, I will bring blood sugar meter and diabetic journal with me to every appointment.
