Your Child’s Hospital Stay

Tips for Parents

1. We recommend that you call your insurance for an estimate of your copays, deductibles and coverage. Your pediatrician can tell you which procedures your child needs.

2. Please arrive early to find parking.

3. Bring your insurance card, photo identification and any referral and/or authorization forms your insurance provider may require

4. Pack an overnight bag for your child and yourself—we allow up to one overnight guest per patient on our in-room pullout couches.

Once your child’s hospital doctor gives the okay, your child can go home. The doctor will talk to your family about at-home care, medications and follow-up care.
