Translation Request... Help! :)
 

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am trying to learn more Spanish to help me in my daily job duties. I am pretty decent at asking questions, but I have trouble receiving answers and I also think that the questions I'm asking are a little too formal. So, I was hoping that someone could help me out with some less formal tips? I appreciate any help you can give.

Below I have written out an average conversation that I have with a patient at work. If possible, could someone help me translate these questions into a less formal format? I have also written in red, how I normally say things.

Hello. What is your current mailing address?
Hola. Qual es su direction?
And your telephone number?
Telefono?
What is your social security number?
Qual es su numero du social?
What is your date of birth?
Qual es su fecha de nacimiento?
Are you single or married?
Esposa/esposo?
Who is your regular doctor?
Quien es su doctor?
Are you currently working? Where do you work?
Trabajas? Donde?
Who can we list as an emergency contact?

How are they related to you?

Would you like to list a religious preference?

Are we billing insurance for you today?

Who is your insurance company?

Do you have your card with you?

Are you the subscriber on this policy?

Are you here today due to an accident or injury?
Accidente ou trauma?
Where did it happen?

When did it happen?

Do we have your permission for the doctor to treat you today?

And permission to bill your insurance?

And you understand there will be a bill for this visit?
(unknown)
Initials here to show I am offering you your patient rights.
(unknown)
This form states that we will bill your insurance, but do not know what they will or will not pay.
(unknown)

So... as you can see, my knowledge is pretty basic and I could really use some help. I'm leary of using things like Google Translate because they give you horrible answers. Help! Thank you in advance!
