Pre-Registration
You may receive pre-registration documents in the mail that ask about
information important to process the paperwork for your stay. It will
include questions about your insurance, other billing information and
emergency contact information. Please fill them out and return them to
us in the prepaid envelope within two business days. If we do not
receive your completed pre-registration packet prior to your surgery,
or there are remaining questions, a representative from our
pre-registration department may call you. These calls are made between
7:30am and 8:30pm, Monday through Friday.
If you have insurance or other coverage, please bring your insurance
identification card, your Medicare card and/or a DSHS card (if
appropriate) to your pre-admit appointment or on the day of surgery.
For services that require co-payments and deductibles or are not
covered by your insurance, you will be asked to make payment three days
before your surgery. You may be contacted by our financial counselor or
you may call them so any financial obligations can be taken care of
before your surgery.
