What to Expect During your ER visit
|
|
|
| |
- After you arrive, your condition will be assessed by an ER nurse through a process called “triage”. If you’re very ill or arrive by ambulance, you will be taken to an exam room for treatment immediately.
- Your vital signs are taken during triage, (temperature, heart rate, blood pressure)—and you will be asked about your symptoms, name, address, medical history, medications list and drug allergies. AN ER PHYSICIAN WILL SEE PATIENTS WITH THE MOST SEVERE INJURIES OR ILLNESSES FIRST…
- The ER Physician examines you and evaluates your condition. Tests may be ordered like an EKG, X-ray, lab work or other diagnostic procedures as necessary.
- The ER Physician discusses your condition and treats you.
- You are admitted to the hospital or your visit is complete.
- Upon leaving, you will be asked to present your insurance information. We will file your insurance claims and handle all the paperwork. In case you do not have insurance, we will expect payment for all services before you leave the hospital.
