METHODS OF HOSPITALIZATION

There are two types of hospitalization:

  • Accreditation with the National Health Service, for which the patient does not have to pay anything, except for “ticket” expenses and hotel comforts possibly required during the stay
  • Paying, which involves the patient’s acceptance of hospital fees or rates agreed upon through insurance agreements

 

SURGERY PRE-OPERATIVE ARRANGEMENTS

The hospital arrangements for patients undergoing surgery begins with the specialist visit of the Surgeon during which they prescribe pre-operative examinations and provide access to them.

The day of access to the examinations is scheduled according to the anesthesiology visit necessary to evaluate the outcome of the examinations. The surgical procedure proposed by the Surgeon must be confirmed providing any indications in view of the intervention.

Patients from other regions, if unable to carry out the examinations scheduled prior to hospitalization and in agreement with the Surgeon’s Medical Practice, may make inquiries in the early stages of the hospitalization.

 

ACCEPTANCE FOR HOSPITALIZATION

Acceptance for hospitalization occurs as a result of a reservation granted to the patient by the Hospital Doctor with details of the day and time of the hospitalization. There is a front desk staff who, on the pre-arranged day for hospitalization, will assist the patient and family members by communicating all the information necessary for their acceptance.     
The following documents are required for admission:

  • Valid identity card
  • Health insurance card
  • Basic General Practitioner’s request to the SSR (Regional Sanitary Service) in standard form
  • Clinical documentation related to the previous six months and covering housings, slabs, instrumental exams and pharmacological therapies.
