Registration
Registration begins when your physician schedules your surgery. After that, you will receive a call from registration to obtain necessary information and to schedule you for any pre-testing that may be needed.
Pre-testing
Depending on what testing is needed before your surgery, there are several convenient locations available throughout the city. We will assist you with this choice. All pre-testing needs to occur within 30 days of your scheduled surgery.
You will need to sign consent forms and present your medical and insurance information at the time of your testing. A list of items to bring to testing includes:
- Insurance cards and forms
- Social security number
- A complete list of medications, including names, dosage and frequency
- Your History & Physical Form
- A copy of your Advance Directives (if desired)
- Red or orange blood bank armbands (if applicable)
- A parent or guardian must accompany a minor
You will be asked to sign an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) stating that you are responsible for payment if the test or procedure is not fully covered by your insurance.
