Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I bring my insurance card with me to the hospital?
A: Yes, the information on your insurance card is needed for the hospital to file a claim with your insurance company or companies. When you register we will ask for information about your insurance coverage and have you sign some forms. You will also be asked to provide a valid form of identification. Copies will be made of your insurance card and your identification.

You should also be aware that you insurance card contains very important information about the co-pay amounts you are responsible for on different types of service. Please be sure to review this information prior to your trip to the hospital, if possible. If your insurance card does not provide a billing address, please obtain a correct address before you come to the hospital. This will avoid any delays in billing your claim.

Remember, the registration process goes much faster when you bring complete insurance information with you.
