1. How much coverage does your current health insurance plan provide? (Rationale) To determine whether the patient is covered adequately for the services provided and to explore other options.

2. Do you have any medical conditions that I need to know about before I can assess your treatment plan. (Rationale) To make sure that every relevant information about your medical history is included in the care plan.

3. Please tell me how the illness has affected your life, or what you do for a living. (Rationale: To gain insight into the patient’s experience and better understand their needs so that an effective treatment plan can be developed).
