Jackson Purchase Medical Center is a 107-bed (all private), Joint Commission-accredited facility.
Write down any questions you may have prior to your visit. There are no bad questions when it comes to your health, so ask away.
As an active partner in your health care, you play a very important role. Bring a list of the medicines you are taking, including names and dosages. For complex health needs, consider creating a medical history binder and include evaluations from other physicians.
It's helpful to have an extra set of hands and ears when hearing new medical information, so if possible, bring another adult with you to the appointment. If we can help you in any way, please let us know.
Traffic and parking often take longer than you may expect. Also, allow 10 to 15 minutes for the check-in process. Delays do happen, so be prepared. Bring a favorite book to help make the time go by more quickly.
Ask questions while meeting with your doctor. Also, remember to ask for any instructions from the doctor or letters of medical necessities that you may need.
As soon as you're done meeting with the doctor and nurse, take a few moments to write down some notes about what just happened during the visit; also write down any other questions you have and important phone numbers to call, such as the clinic's nursing line, prescription refill line and appointment line.
All patients experiencing an emergency should report directly to the Emergency Room. Patients undergoing outpatient surgery should report to the registration desk on the first floor in the outpatient lobby. (Outpatient registration hours are from 6:30 am - 5 pm). Expectant mothers may go directly to the Birthing Center on the first floor.
Bring your insurance card, claim forms, Medicare or Medicaid card, or Military ID when coming to the hospital for an appointment. If you are admitted, you may need to bring a small number of personal items to the hospital, such as pajamas, robe, slippers and toiletries, including glasses cases, contact lenses, dentures and more.
Do not bring watches, jewelry, cash or other valuables to the hospital. Jackson Purchase Medical Center will only be responsible for these items if they are deposited into our safe. Ask the admissions clerk or your nurse about safe deposits upon admission. Please do not bring medications to the hospital.
Closed caption television is available to all patients. Please contact the nurses station for instructions to change the settings on your television to closed captioning.
When you are medically ready to leave the hospital, your physician will write a discharge order on your medical chart. Your nurses and your physician will discuss discharge information with you, including special diets, medications and limitations on your activities. The case manager will arrange home care or other community services if needed.
When you are admitted, you should confirm financial arrangements for your care. If you have Medicare or Medicaid hospitalization insurance, please bring your policy, identification card and other pertinent information. Most insurance companies require pre-admission certification and a second opinion before surgery.
Once you are discharged from the hospital, you may receive a separate bill from the physician, anesthesiologist, pathologist or radiologist. These physicians are not employees of the hospital; therefore, they charge separately for their services.
When it comes to your health, there's no such thing as second best. Whether it's a menacing pain or something more serious, you want to know—you deserve to know—that you're in great hands. And it certainly helps if those hands are close to home.
