We will make your admission to Saint Peter's as easy as possible. Your admission will take place in Patient Access Services, also known as our Admitting Office.

You will be responsible for:

• Completing and signing consent forms; these consent forms will become part of your medical record
• Supplying two forms of legal identification. Accepted forms include your driver's license, birth certificate, passport and/or green card.
• Advising us of any special food requirements and/or food allergies.
• Informing us about your advance directive, if applicable.
• Providing us with your health insurance card(s).
  
  If your health insurance company requires pre-certification, you are responsible to obtain this requirement before admission.
  
  Any patient having elective surgery at Saint Peter's will be contacted several days prior to his/her scheduled arrival for a pre-registration/ pre-certification review and discussion regarding financial arrangements. The patient's surgeon's office is responsible for initiating the pre-certification process.
