Your
Admission
> Home > Patients
& Visitors > Your Admission
Your physician, who is a member of the Hospital medical
staff, schedules your admission, diagnostic
tests and procedures, diet, medications and other treatments
you may need.
In order to make your registration as easy as possible,
please present your insurance cards, Medicare or Medicaid
card, identification cards, and a copy of any advance directive
document. As a courtesy to you, we
file claims with your insurance company. If your policy requires
pre-certification,
it is your responsibility to notify your doctor of this
requirement. Your insurance company may reduce your insurance
payment
if the pre-certification guidelines are not followed.
Please call 452-8185 if you have any questions about
your admission.
Personal Items
Only a few items from home are needed such as a robe, slippers, and
toiletry items. Basic toiletries are furnished for your convenience.
Hospital gowns are also provided and need to be worn during any medical
procedure. However, if you prefer to wear your own pajamas or gown
at other times, please feel free to do so.
Please do not bring medications from home unless requested
by your physician. On your admission to our healthcare facility you will be asked about any medicine allergies that you have and about the medicines you are taking at home. This information is necessary so that we can provide the best patient care for you while you are at the hospital. You may provide us with a list of your medicines or bring your medicine bottles with you. You may be asked this information several times during the course of your hospital stay.
Valuables
To protect your valuables, you should leave jewelry, billfolds, cash
and credit cards at home. If you do arrive with valuables and have
no family member to take them home, we recommend having our security
personnel keep them in the Medical Center safe during your stay.
If you choose to keep your personal property with you, we will provide
a green Personal Property Bag for your convenience, but HRMC will
not be liable for the loss, theft or damage of said item(s).
Dentures, eyeglasses, contact lenses and hearing
aids should be placed in protective containers
and kept on the bedside table when not in use. Do not leave
these appliances on your over-bed table or meal tray. Ask
your nurse to assist you with
protective containers.
You may want to keep small amounts of change for vending
machines and other needs.
HRMC is not responsible for the loss, theft or damage of
personal property.
Note: HRMC is not responsible for the loss, theft or damage of personal
property.
