Admission to Madison Regional Health System is usually prearranged by your physician. Check-in time on the day of your arrival is dependent upon your procedure and is determined by your physician. Emergency patients are admitted at any hour of the day.
When you are admitted, please bring identification as well as insurance information. You will have an identification band placed on your wrist that tells the hospital staff your name, hospital number and physician's name. You should not remove this band during your stay.
Pre-Authorization / Verification of Insurance
Health insurance companies may require you to contact them before your hospital stay so they can approve your stay in advance. Please read your insurance card to identify the appropriate telephone number to contact. Please bring any insurance cards, or medical coupons if covered by a state Medicaid program, with you on the day of admission. Co-pays and deductibles may be requested at the time of service.
