Patient Information

Your Admission to the Hospital
Your physician will schedule your admission to the hospital. With non-emergency admissions, you should call at least five days before the day of admission to verify your address, phone number and insurance information. The information you provide will be forwarded to one of our financial counselors, who will call your insurance company in order to verify eligibility and receive authorization for your admission. On the day of admission, please check in at the Concierge Desk in the Main Lobby of the hospital. From there, you will be directed to the appropriate department.

Outpatient Surgery
If you are scheduled for an outpatient surgery procedure, you will be requested to preregister, which will include your preoperative testing. You may also be scheduled to meet with the admissions nurse at that time. If you are not scheduled for a preoperative appointment you will receive a call from an outpatient surgery nurse regarding what you need to do to prepare for surgery.

What to Bring for an Inpatient Stay
Here's a list of the items you will need for an inpatient stay:

Any physician orders, lab results or medical records that your physician has asked you to bring.
