3. You will then be routed to the Consultation LOA Request, fill out the hospital name, your doctor's name, and your chief complaint/diagnosis.

Tip: Make sure to request at least 2 days prior to your hospital visit as it does take 24 hours for the approval to be completed. The LOA can only be used within 3 days including the day you requested for it.

Tip: Make sure to bring your own printed copy and some hospitals will need 2 printed copies. Also, check with your hospital what the steps for completing a doctor's appointment with your own LOA. In my case with Maayo Hospital, I will need to visit the receptionist first to validate my printed LOA and then check with my doctor's secretary to confirm my visit. I will also need to leave a valid ID. Once done, I will then head out to my doctor to be assisted. After the visit, I will need to get my copy signed by my doctor and then head to the HMO office to get my valid ID back.
