It will be referenced on future visits to ensure that services are being provided to the proper individuals. Patients should be prepared to present their ID when they come to their next clinic visit. Acceptable photo ID includes driver's license, Tribal ID or employee ID. Acceptable alternatives include Social Security card, certified birth certificate or voter registration card. If the patient is a minor, the patient's parentlegal guardian is to bring the information listed above.
