Your admission will take place in Admissions & Registration, also known as Admitting. 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. Please see “Health Insurance” under Billing & Payment for additional information. To contact Admissions & Registration from your room, dial extension 8540.

What to Bring

You need only bring a few items for your stay. Please bring your toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, robe and personal articles such as shampoo, deodorant, cosmetics, and a comb/brush. We will supply hospital gowns for your use during your stay.

Do not bring valuables to the hospital.

Valuables include money, jewelry, credit cards, electronics and items of sentimental value. Saint Peter’s is not responsible for securing and/or replacing any personal items or valuables during your stay, even though we will exercise care in protecting them. We also request that you leave your medicines at home; if you bring them to the hospital, please send them home with a family member.
