ADMISSION
INFORMATION
 If
you are a surgery patient or anticipating a hospital
admission, you will be scheduled a time to come
for your routine preoperative tests, usually one
to two weeks before admission.
When you arrive, go directly to
Patient Registration, located on the first floor
lobby area. Patient Registration staff will finalize
the details of your admission with you.
What to Bring:
• A list of your prescribed medications
• A list of your allergies
• Your current health insurance information
Advance Directives
When you talk with the patient representative,
you will be asked if you have an Advanced Directive,
such as a living will or other instructions for
your care if you are no longer able to decide
for yourself. Current law requires that we ask
this question and it is not cause for alarm. If
you would like more information about Advance
Directives we will be happy to help you and provide
forms. You may also download information from
this web site. If you already have an Advance
Directive and we do not have a copy on file at
our hospital, please bring a copy with you.
Insurance Pre-certification
Many insurance companies require pre-certification
for a planned hospital stay. The Patient Representative
will remind you to call your insurance company
before you come to the hospital to get approval
prior to your admission.
Admission Day
You will be notified of the time you will
need to come to the hospital one day before your
admission. Please bring protective containers
for eyeglasses, contact lenses and dentures. Please
do not bring large sums of money or other valuables.
