Duluth Family Medicine Clinic
Preparing for Your Appointment
What to expect at your visit
Our front desk team handles all phone calls during business hours, helps with check-in, and provides any paperwork you may need. Appointment times typically range from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your needs. You’ll receive a reminder message 3 business days before your visit-this includes your registration time. Arriving on time helps our staff complete check-in and rooming before the physician sees you. If you’re running late, we’ll do our best to accommodate you, though wait times or provider changes may occur.
Please let us know if you need to cancel or reschedule, so we can offer that time to another patient.
What to bring to your appointment
- Insurance cards
- Picture ID
- Medical records (You may be asked to sign a release of information to get old medical records.)
- Medication bottles or a list of your medications
- Guardianship papers (if you have them)
- Medical power of attorney information (if you have one)
- Advanced care directive (if you have one)
Financial Assistance
If you don’t have insurance, your account will be considered self-pay. If you pay for your medical services in full the day of your visit, you will get a 25% discount. If you’re having trouble making payments on your account, please consider filling out our financial assistance application.
Note: If you have previously been awarded financial assistance through Essentia Health or Aspirus St. Luke’s, you will still need to complete an application for Duluth Family Medicine Clinic.
