Understanding Your Health Insurance

Participating Managed Health Care Plans

To ease your admission to the hospital, we will begin the paperwork as soon as your doctor informs us of your admission date. A pre-admission coordinator will call you at home to verify basic information, such as the name of your employer, your home address, and the type of insurance you carry. If you prefer, you may call us at (410) 955-6055 to complete the process.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the type of coverage provided by your health insurance and that you know whether you've met all necessary terms. If you belong to an HMO or an MCO, be sure your primary care provider is aware of your impending hospitalization and is prepared to submit a referral to authorize your admission. On the day of your arrival, you may be required to pay a deductible or co-payment. In certain cases, an admission deposit (based on your estimated length of stay) may be required. The pre-admission coordinator will discuss the deposit with you.
