Insurance and Costs
Contact your insurance company
Before surgery, you will need to contact
your insurance company to find out if a preauthorization, a
pre-certification, a second opinion, or a referral form is required. It
is very important to make this call because failure to clarify these
questions may result in a reduction of benefits or delay of surgery.
If you are a member of a Health
Maintenance Organization (HMO), you will go through the same
registration procedure. However, you will need to call your HMO once
your procedure has been scheduled to arrange for pre-admission lab
studies that must be completed.
If you do not have insurance, please
notify the registration staff when they call you for pre-registration
that you will need help in making payment arrangements.
Pre-Register
After your surgery has been scheduled,
you will be scheduled for a preadmission appointment with the hospital.
You will be asked to have the following information ready when you
arrive for this appointment:
-

Billing for Services
After your procedure, you will receive separate bills from the
