Scheduled Admission
If you are having a scheduled procedure, you may receive two phone calls prior to your admission date:
- A patient account specialist (from the Admitting Department) may call to gather necessary information, including the correct spelling of your name, date of birth, address, nearest relative, emergency contact, employer name, address, phone number and your health insurance information. The patient account specialist will verify your insurance benefits and will obtain the authorization/pre-certification for your admission. Financial arrangements will be discussed.
- A registered nurse may call to obtain basic health information, discuss instructions from your physician and answer questions you may have about your procedure/hospital stay.
