Points to Remember L&M staff will call prior to surgery to ask for medical information and to verify insurance information to ensure proper billing. Please note that your surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist/pathologist will bill separately. If the patient is under age 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign the consent forms before treatment can begin. If applicable, please bring proof of Guardianship or Medical Power of Attorney. If you have an Advance Directive or Living Will, please bring a copy for your hospital file. The Federal government requires us to ask you whether you have such a document. If you do not have an Advance Directive or Living Will and you would like additional information about this, please contact Kathy Reilly in Case Management at (860) 442-0711, ext. 2478. If you are eligible for Home Care Services, you may request care from the VNA of Southeastern Connecticut (444-1111, X-215), an affiliate of Lawrence & Memorial, or another certified home care agency.
