Acupuncture consultations for international patients usually start with a focused case summary, recent reports, and a clear question for the hospital department. Useful preparation may include a one-page diagnosis and treatment summary, recent test reports with dates and reference ranges, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history, and current prescriptions, supplements, anticoagulant use, pregnancy status, allergies, and any conditions that could affect acupuncture or herbal medicine safety. MedToChina uses specialty information to help patients organize records and route appointment requests; diagnosis and treatment decisions must come from licensed clinicians.
