Pre-Admission Testing

Online Pre-Registration

To help cut down on time and paperwork of registration, pre-admission forms can be filled out electronically on the Internet from our web site. Online Pre-Registration forms are found in My St. Vincent's. From there, you will be able to safely and securely enter the information needed to register you for your procedure. Please keep the reference number given at the end of your online registration and bring it with you to your Pre-Admission Testing.

Pre-Admission Testing Appointments
Within 14 days prior to your surgery, you should call the pre-admissions nurse to make an appointment for pre-admission testing (laboratory, radiology and other necessary pre-operative tests). We highly recommend pre-admission testing rather than waiting until the day of surgery. If a health concern is recognized due to your test results, it can be addressed prior to surgery, usually without the need to delay your surgery.

To schedule your appointment, call the pre-admissions nurse at 930-2528 or 1-800-882-0077. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Where to go
On the day of your tests, check in at Patient Registration in the main hospital lobby. After registering, you will be directed to PAT on the first floor, across from O’Reilly’s Café.

Parking
Patients and visitors should park in the Women's and Children's Center parking deck. A map of the hospital campus and parking decks can be found here.

You will need to bring the following information:

  • Insurance identification or certified insurance forms

What to expect

Call between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Based on your insurance coverage, you may be asked to pay your deductible or co-pay at the time of registration.
