Preparing for the Exam
Here’s what you can do to make your insurance exam go more smoothly and to ensure that we get the most accurate results possible:
Have your photo ID ready (preferably a driver’s license). The Dynacare health professional conducting the insurance exam will need to verify your identity before beginning
Get a good night's sleep before the exam
Drink several glasses of water on the day of the appointment. This helps in specimen collection for both blood and urine samples
Be sure you complete your fast (if required) for your blood test. You will be told if fasting is necessary when you book your appointment
You’ll need a private area where you can talk freely with your Dynacare Health Professional about your medical history
You’ll also need a washroom nearby where you can provide a urine sample
If you have a tendency towards high blood pressure:
Schedule your appointment for a time of day when you feel the most relaxed
Be aware that stress, caffeine, nicotine and some prescription and non-prescription medications (including naturopathic, herbal, or homeopathic remedies and vitamins) can temporarily raise your blood pressure. If possible, try to avoid these for 24 hours before your appointment
If you take prescription medication, please have it standing by for reference during the exam. Also, advise your Dynacare health professional if you’re taking any over-the-counter medication
Be sure to take all your prescription medication as prescribed
Avoid smoking, strenuous activity and/or exercise for 24 hours prior to your appointment
Avoid alcoholic beverages, nasal decongestants and all foods containing poppy seeds for 24 hours prior to the appointment
Advise your Dynacare health professional if your upper arm bicep is larger than 14 inches in diameter in order to ensure that they bring an appropriately sized blood pressure cuff
