What to Expect

Before your surgery, our staff will:

• Complete your registration.
• Check your insurance coverage.
• Help make sure your insurance considers your procedure to be medically needed. This can affect what they cover.

Please bring your valid health insurance card(s)/information.

Staff will give you instructions to follow before your procedure. Please follow their directions. If you do not, we may need to reschedule your surgery.

You will recover in a post-operative room so we can monitor your health and comfort.

Your care team will give you instructions to help you recover and return to everyday activities. Please follow their instructions. Ask your care team if you have any questions.
