Admitting

The Admitting Department, which is located on the ground floor near the Emergency Department, is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. When being admitted to the hospital, patients are asked to provide basic demographic information along with any applicable insurance information. Patients are requested to sign standard consent forms and are offered the opportunity to complete a health care proxy if one is not in effect already. In addition, information regarding all hospital services is made available. To contact the Admitting Department, please call (516) 674-7385.

The outpatient registration desk, located in the main lobby, is where patients register for various outpatient services such as laboratory services, radiology, nuclear medicine, cardiology and outpatient physical, occupational, speech and cardiology therapy. The hours of operation for outpatient registration are as follows:

If you are covered by insurance, your physician may need to obtain pre-authorization from your insurance carrier for certain tests and procedures. You may contact the outpatient registration desk at (516) 674-7395.
