Admissions

Our admitting staff is here to help you through the registration process for all our hospital services.

Admission Overview

Please have your insurance and photo identification cards available and any co-pay amounts that may be due at the time of service.

For Outpatient services, the admitting staff will verify the patient’s insurance eligibility, benefits, and patient financial responsibility at the time of registration. For Emergency room visits this step will wait until after the doctor has completed the medical screening.

If you are coming for services (Physical Therapy, CT, Ultrasound, etc.) that require authorization, a referral must be submitted to your insurance company by your PCP (primary care provider).

Please be advised that each time you receive services at KVHD, you must sign a new consent form.

About Social Services

The Social Services Department at Kern Valley Hospital helps individuals, couples and families cope with social, psychological, cultural and medical issues resulting from illness. The Social Work Department also helps patients fully utilize medical care and services by:

  • Explaining health-care resources and policies to patients, family, and professional staff.
  • Helping plan for post-hospital patient needs by arranging for care at another facility or home.
  • Explaining to patients the epidemiology of diseases, including social environment risk factors.
  • Helping patients and families receive needed follow-up care by referral to health-care resources.
  • Understanding the social, cultural, and religious variables that contribute to patients’ responses to illness and their use of health-care resources.
  • Providing advocacy through appropriate organizations.

Social Workers may help patients with advance directives and other long-term care issues. They assure that patients’ medically related emotional and social needs are met and maintained throughout their medical treatment.
