Admissions
The admission office is located directly inside the main lobby entrance. Regular admission hours are 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Please register when you arrive. During the admission process, the hospital will verify information regarding your personal data. Your information is kept confidential.
ID & Allergy Bracelets
You will receive an identification bracelet when you are admitted. Because we must be sure of accurate patient identification at all times, we ask you to wear your bracelet throughout your stay. You may also be asked to wear other types of identification banding. For example, you may be asked to wear an allergy or blood administration band.
Advance Directives
If you have an advance directive such as a living will, healthcare proxy, or durable power of attorney for healthcare, please bring a copy of this form with you and we can keep it on file at NCH.
Copays & Estimated costs
We ask that you bring your required copays with you to your scheduled appointment. We have an eligibility verification tool to help you see what is going to be your financial responsibility once your insurance has been processed and paid.
Billing
We bill all insurance companies and participate with several plans in our local area and have some managed care contracts in place to offer you additional savings. Once your insurance has been processed, the coinsurance, deductible, and noncovered amounts are your financial responsibility. You will receive a statement once the billing is finalized. Payment in full is expected after insurance has been processed.
Financial Assistance
We offer financial assistance options and various payment plan options for all services. Please ask any staff member for more detailed information.
