How to Register
After days, maybe even weeks, of meeting with your physician and pouring over every question related to your procedure, the last thing you need is a sea of paperwork to generate more uncertainties. That's why we've worked to keep the registration process as simple and uncluttered as it can possibly be. On this page, you'll find all of the documents you need to generate your medical history, give consent for the scheduled procedure and provide relevant insurance information.
Surgery Center of Pinehurst is proud to offer their patients the convenience of One Medical Passport, which allows them to complete medical forms before walking through the door.
Simply access a secure website and complete your Medical Passport (demographic, insurance and medical history). The completed medical history will be automatically formatted into comprehensive Operating Room forms.
Click on the One Medical Passport icon below to get started.
We Protect Your Data
It can be unnerving to share the entirety of your medical history with anyone, even a recognized facility like ours. Rest assured, your personal information and patient data are protected according to all federal HIPAA laws and regulations.
Insurance Verification
Please bring a photo ID, such as a driver's license or government-issued ID card, as well as your most current insurance or Medicare card. Upon receipt of your insurance information, Surgery Center of Pinehurst will verify your primary and secondary insurance carriers or government agency directly for surgery center services.
Please be aware of your insurance plan's policy on admission requirements, such as pre-authorization. You or your physician may have to adhere to certain requirements in order to ensure maximum reimbursement from your insurance carrier(s).
Failure to obtain pre authorization, physician referral, or a second opinion may greatly reduce or eliminate your insurance benefits.
