With admission staff and counsellors to guide you through the financials and the admission process, Kamineni Hospitals accepts insurance and managed care plans in conjunction with insurance companies and TPAs. From pre-treatment estimates to a quick and hassle-free billing process, you can rest assured with Kamineni.
Admission Process
If, after the protocol of diagnosis, your doctor recommends hospitalization, our admission staff will provide you with a counsellor to guide you through the admission process. Everything including fixtures for surgeries, room facilities, financial assistance, insurance and estimates, and any other queries you may have on your mind, will be addressed by our staff so you can be at ease.
PREPARING FOR SURGERY
After you have made a decision to go head for surgery as prescribed by your doctor, our counsellor will explain to you the entire process (pre-admission, your stay in the hospital and the discharge process). The counsellor will also help you fix your date and time for the surgery and schedule a prior-surgery appointment with the doctor if needed.
We will arrange your surgery under our admission schedules depending on the type of the surgery/procedure. For instance
You Might Go Home On The Same Day After The Surgery If The Surgery/Procedure Allows You To Do So
You Might Be An In-Patient With Us And Stay During Your Recovery Phase After The Surgery/ Procedure
You Might Complete The Surgery And Go Home Soon, But Might Come Back As An Outpatient For Regular Follow-Ups Based On The Discretion Of Your Doctor
