The Discharge Process

You and your family member/friend will receive clear and concise post-operative instructions including necessary medications and after care reminders. When you are ready to go home, you will be given a discharge instruction sheet that lists important phone numbers and specific instructions from your physician.

YOU MUST HAVE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT ACCOMPANY YOU HOME AFTER YOUR OPERATION. YOU CANNOT BE DISCHARGED TO GO HOME ALONE IF YOU HAVE HAD ANESTHESIA – EVEN IF IT IS ONLY LOCAL WITH SEDATION.

The day after your procedure, a nurse will call you at home to see if you have any questions. Please feel free to discuss any and all of your concerns with the nurse.

Rush SurgiCenter is contracted with a number of insurance carriers. The SurgiCenter will call your insurance company prior to your procedure to verify your coverage. If there are any problems we will alert your doctor as soon as possible. If you are part of an HMO plan, you must have a copy of your referral with you on the day of surgery.
