Your admission was scheduled by your physician in preparation of your stay at Oak Valley Hospital. A representative from the admissions department will contact you prior to your admission to obtain information needed to complete your patient file. If you are scheduled for surgery, an appointment will be made for your pre-surgery tests, and a nurse will interview you about your health history.

It is important to bring your insurance cards to the hospital. An admission staff member will make copies of the cards for billing purposes.

In an effort to keep you informed of the cost of your hospitalization, we will verify your insurance, compute and estimate the "balance due", and make financial arrangements at that time. You may need to make a deposit at the time of your admission.

If your are covered by Medicare, bring your Medicare card with you to the hospital. If Medicare determines that part or all of your stay is not covered, you will receive a bill from the hospital for the non-covered portion. The hospital accepts Visa and MasterCard to help you meet your responsibility.
