What to Expect
Admissions
The admission process can be a bit overwhelming, but our teams work with you, your loved ones and the referral hospital to make the transition as smooth as possible, and without interruption of your treatment.
Upon admission, you or your loved one will be assigned a room and treated without regard to race, color, creed, age, handicap, national origin or payment classification.
At the time of admission, or closely thereafter, please bring:
- Identification card(s)
- Insurance cards and policies
- Medicare or Medicaid cards
- Living will, power of attorney or durable power of attorney
- Health surrogate appointment
- Copy of an organ donation request card
During your stay, only a few personal items are needed; we will supply the rest! We recommend you or your loved one bring items such as deodorant, toothbrush, shampoo, robe and slippers. If you require glasses or dentures, please be sure to pack them in appropriately labeled storage containers. Electric appliances are not allowed unless they are approved by our Administration Department.
While we do our best to secure our hospital, we strongly suggest you leave valuables at home as we are not responsible for valuables or money kept in your room.
Financial Matters
To guide you and your loved ones through the financial process, we have a dedicated business office staff member to handle all insurance billing. Should you have questions on the financial details or insurance coverage, we are more than willing to arrange a meeting.
Eligibility Criteria for Charity Care and/or Financial Assistance
California requires all hospitals to provide financial assistance to people and families who meet certain income requirements. You or your family member may qualify for free care or reduced-price care based on your family size and income, even if you have health insurance. For help paying your bill, click here.
