FAQs

What is the process for OB Registration?

You will receive a pre-admission form for hospital registration at your OB-GYN's office, usually during your first OB visit. Complete this form, give your photo ID and insurance card to be copied, and read and keep the information packet you receive. Your OB-GYN's office will submit your completed form and copies of your ID and insurance card on your behalf.
 

When should I complete my registration?

We strongly recommend that you pre-register by your fourth month of pregnancy so that all paperwork is completed well in advance of your delivery.

 

Will I receive a confirmation?

When you attend the Great Expectations maternity orientation class you will receive confirmation that your pre-registration is complete. If any information is missing, we will collect it at that time.

What happens when I arrive at the hospital?

If you receive a registration confirmation, we have all we need to admit you as a patient. When you arrive at ST. FRANCIS eastside for delivery, you will only need to provide a photo ID, your insurance card and any additional forms your physician has asked you to bring with you. After confirming your name, due date and insurance, you will go directly to the fourth floor with an escort. Learn more about what happens when you arrive at the hospital >>

In some cases, there may be other paperwork that will need to be completed once you are in your room.
