Many insurance companies require prior authorization for surgical procedures, hospital admissions, and diagnostic procedures (MRI, CT scans, etc.). Iwosan Lagoon Hospitals will gladly assist you in clarifying your carrier’s requirements, but you ultimately bear the responsibility for ensuring that you meet your insurance company’s guidelines.
Please call the Lagoon Hospitals Nurses Station at nursing@lagoonhospitals.com for any questions or concerns that you might have regarding your hospital stay.
Patients are advised to bring photo identification, a copy of your insurance card, toiletries, sleepwear, and personal items. It is also recommended that you bring a complete list of all medications including dosage and frequency with you.
As part of the admissions process, you will be given the opportunity to appoint someone with whom your doctor can discuss your care. In order to have someone make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to communicate, you will need to complete a Healthcare Power of Attorney form. It is advisable to be familiar with this and other legal documents such as a Living Will.
Your primary care consultant will serve as your attending doctor for any hospitalization. If your doctor is not available during your hospital stay, his/her counterpart will be designated as your attending consultant and will oversee your care.
Throughout your hospital stay you are encouraged to discuss your care with your attending physician. You may also request to speak with the Hospital Administrator or Patient Experience Liaison about any concerns that you may have with your treatment plan or hospital stay.
