UTMB Visitor & Masking Requirements
(as of Feb. 14, 2023)

UTMB Health clinics welcome visitors. The type and number of visitors present in the exam or procedure room may be restricted or limited by staff as clinically necessary to facilitate care and ensure patient privacy.

Patients and visitors are currently not required to wear face masks while in UTMB Health clinics.

• Routine masking of patients and visitors is not required in UTMB hospitals, emergency departments and clinic settings. 
• Visitors are required to don appropriate personal protective equipment when visiting patients under isolation.

Please note: This policy is subject to change based on COVID-19 infection and hospitalization data for our region.

You will be asked screening questions when making your appointment and may hear similar questions from the clinical team. This repetition is part of our verification and safety process, and is designed with your health in mind. It ensures we get the correct information for the right person, and allows our team members to better serve you.

Please bring to your appointment: your current insurance card, medication list and/or prescription bottles, and--if you are being referred to UTMB--any provider records or radiology films from your non-UTMB provider.
