Business Office and Admissions
One of the paperwork hubs of the hospital is composed of the Business Office and the Admissions Department. These departments are as essential to the operation of the hospital as the nursing and medical staff. The first place you stop on a non-emergency visit to the hospital is the Admissions desk.
Conveniently located near the main entrance is the admissions desk and the new outpatient clinic area. Statistical data - everything including your name, date of birth, social security number and identifying insurance numbers, is entered into the computer system. This information is used to follow your visit, identifying procedures and insuring correct billing.
Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance claims are filed by the Business Office personnel with primary and secondary insurance carriers for the patients. Arrangements for payment are made by the Patient Accounts Coordinator for those patients who have insurance deductibles to be met or for the uninsured.
