Registration and Billing
Pre-registration
Once you are scheduled for either an outpatient procedure or an inpatient admission, you will be contacted by a representative from our Admissions Department. The purpose of this call is to verify your demographic and insurance information Some procedures require insurance pre-authorization, which needs to be completed before your scheduled procedure. If pre-registration is not done, our insurance verifiers cannot verify your insurance or pre-authorize, if necessary. If you are scheduled for surgery, you will receive an additional call from a nurse to discuss your procedure prior to your scheduled appointment.
Maternity Pre-registration
All patients are required to pre-register before your expected due date for delivery. You may pick up a pre-registration form from your physician’s office, at the time of a St. Mark’s Medical Center prenatal tour, or at Admissions in the St. Mark's main lobby. Please fill out the form completely and call us at 979.242.2124 if you have any questions.
Most insurance plans require pre-authorization for your admission for the delivery of your baby. Check with your employer’s benefits office or insurance company customer service representative to make sure that you have met their notification requirements.
