Your CPM Visit

When a patient is scheduled for a procedure at either the Atlantic City or Mainland Campus, they are assigned a phone call. The Registered Nurse (RN) Concierge from CPM contacts the patient and completes a detailed medical history including medication reconciliation. The patient is then scheduled for a physical appointment, either "Comprehensive Visit" or "Quick Pass" depending on the patient's history and procedure.

What to Expect at Your CPM Appointment:

You will need to provide identification and insurance information when you register for your visit. You will then be taken to an exam room by a medical assistant who will weigh you and do an EKG if necessary. A physician or APN will greet you and complete a physical assessment. Labs and a urine sample may be completed during this visit. You will be given a bottle of antibacterial wash with instruction on how to use it.

This visit is meant to compliment, not to replace the care you are receiving from your primary medical doctor or specialists. While creating a "surgical home': you may be asked to undergo tests or further evaluations. These will not be repetitive and will be forwarded to your current care team. If you require further testing before your procedure such as stress test, echo or sleep study, we will assist in scheduling.

How to Prepare for your CPM Appointment:

• Arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled visit. If you are late to your appointment, you may need to reschedule.
• You will be seen according to your appointment time not your arrival time.
• Plan to be at the visit for approximately 1 hour.
• Bring your ID/Insurance cards (co-payments are not collected at this visit).
• Bring a list of your medications.
• Bring a copy of your advanced directive if you have one.
• You do NOT need to fast for blood work.
• Drink plenty of fluids as you may need to provide a urine sample.
