The Surgical Testing and Registration (STAR) team was created to safely prepare you for your procedure. You can make a pre-registration STAR appointment up to 10 days before your procedure by calling (775) 770-STAR (7827).
Registration
We will assist you in completing necessary admissions forms. Any information we already have will be updated, including your Advanced Healthcare Directive form if you have one.
What to bring:
- Your insurance card
- A valid photo ID
- Forms or orders given to you by your physician
- A copy of your Advanced Healthcare Directive form if you have one
- For patients under 18, a parent or guardian must sign consent forms. Guardians must present their copy of the court order granting their guardianship of the minor when registering and on the day of surgery
Payment
Many insurance carriers require the patient to be responsible for a co-payment or a percentage of approved charges. Co-payments and deductibles are due at the time of service. Payment may be made by cash, check or major credit card. Because insurance requirements vary by contract, we ask that you be responsible for verifying that our hospital is a contracted provider. Our financial counseling staff can be reached at (775) 770-7099 to answer questions and assist you with any financial issues you have.
Nurse Interview
Before your interview, you will be asked to complete a health history, which a nurse will review with you. The nurse will review your health history as well as the list of medications you currently take, and ask you further questions to complete your health history. Any questions or concerns you have regarding your procedure can be addressed at this time. If you prefer, you can fill out your forms at home and bring them with you to your appointment, using the links below.
Testing
Lab, X-ray and EKG tests ordered by your physician will be completed during this appointment. Any necessary blood work completed during your STAR appointment will not require fasting.
Contact the STAR team at (775) 770-STAR (7827) with questions and to make your appointment. Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
