Scheduling your surgery and pre-admission visit
When it's time to schedule your procedure, our team is here for you every step of the way.
A member of your doctor’s team will contact the hospital to schedule your admission and order the test you’ll need before surgery. Then, we’ll schedule your surgery and make an appointment for your pre-admission visit. After, we’ll call you to provide the scheduling information.
It’s important to understand what your insurance covers and where you can go for care. Many insurance plans require pre-certification before admission. To avoid reduced benefits, call your insurance company to verify coverage and ensure authorizations are in order.
If you have any financial questions, please call our counselors at (813) 634-0173.
