The days right after a hospital or emergency visit are the riskiest — new medicines, confusing discharge papers, pending results, and symptoms that can flare. Dr. Rajan Kohli sees you promptly to make sense of the discharge plan, reconcile your medications, and catch problems early. If you’re caring for a parent, this is the single most useful visit to schedule after a hospital stay.
For a medical emergency, or if symptoms are severe or worsening, call 911 — a follow-up visit is not a substitute for emergency care.
Leaving the hospital rarely means everything is settled. Medicines are often changed or added, tests may still be pending, and instructions can be hard to follow at home. A prompt visit with your own doctor is the moment to review what happened, make sure your medications are right, confirm the next steps, and act early if something isn’t going the way it should. We can’t promise a hospital stay won’t happen again — but this visit gives us the best chance to keep small problems from becoming big ones.
Medicare recognizes this kind of care as Transitional Care Management after a qualifying hospital, observation, or skilled-nursing stay. Even after a treat-and-release ER visit that doesn’t qualify, a prompt visit with your own doctor is still worthwhile.
We go through your after-visit summary together in plain language — what happened, what changed, and what to watch for — so nothing gets lost in the paperwork.
We compare your medicines before and after the stay, check for duplicates and interactions, and make sure you know exactly what to take, how, and why.
We check how you’re recovering and look for early signs of trouble — so we can respond quickly rather than waiting for the next crisis.
We make sure pending labs, imaging, and specialist appointments are tracked and followed up — not left to fall through the cracks.
We connect the dots with your specialists, pharmacy, and any home-health team so everyone is working from the same up-to-date plan.
You and your family get time to ask what the diagnosis means, what to expect, and what to do if something changes at home.
Bringing a few things makes the visit far more useful:
An adult child can call to schedule, join the visit, and help keep track of medications and instructions — one of the most helpful things a caregiver can do after a hospital stay. With your parent’s permission or a valid healthcare power of attorney, we’ll keep you appropriately informed.
Insurance: We accept Medicare and participate with select Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Part B covers post-hospital transitional care, but it is not a free benefit — standard cost-sharing may apply, and a supplement or Advantage plan can change what you owe. Call us with your exact plan name and we’ll help you understand your coverage before the visit.
Don’t wait for something to go wrong. Tell us what happened and we’ll help arrange the earliest appropriate visit — and get your medications and plan sorted out.
For a medical emergency, call 911.
Aim to be seen within about 7 to 14 days of discharge — sooner if your discharge instructions say so or if you feel worse. Reach out as soon as you’re home and we’ll help get you scheduled.
The days after discharge are when medication mix-ups, missed test results, and new symptoms are most likely. A follow-up lets your doctor reconcile your medicines, review the discharge plan, and catch complications early.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers transitional care management after a qualifying hospital, observation, or skilled-nursing stay. Standard cost-sharing may apply, so check your specific plan for your out-of-pocket amount.
Bring your discharge paperwork, all your medications in their bottles (including anything new the hospital started), and a list of questions. If a family member helped at the hospital, it helps to have them join.
Absolutely. A family member can call to schedule, join the visit, and help track medications and instructions — this is one of the most helpful things a caregiver can do after a hospital stay.
Often, yes. Even after a treat-and-release ER visit, a follow-up with your own doctor helps make sure symptoms are resolving, results are reviewed, and any new medicines fit safely with what you already take.
