Our Patient Care Coordinators (PCC) are available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you received our voicemail system, please leave a message. Voicemail is an important part of our communication process and we wil return your call. Tuesday is the Vasculitis Center's primary clinic day to see patients and our PCC's are focused on assisting the patients in clinic that day. If you call on Tuesday and received our voicemail, we encourage you to leave a message. If you are experiencing an emergency , instructions on what to do are a part of the voice message recording.
Patients with vasculitis often have complex medical histories, your appointment in the Vasculitis Center will be facilitated by some advance preparation. Johns Hopkins participates with most major insurance carriers, including many managed care plans.
Please forward the results of previous medical evaluations. In particular, the following information is required:
- Referral letter from your physician
- Summary letters from your doctor and/or hospital discharge summaries
- Recent laboratory results
- Biopsy slides or reports
- Results of radiology studies
This “information gathering” is an important process. It allows the Vasculitis Center's physicians to examine relevant information before the patient's visit. This preparation greatly speeds the development of an effective plan for medical care. If time permits, we will send you a questionnaire to fill out before your appointment.
