Planning Your Stay
It is our privilege to have you as a patient and our guest. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more pleasant, please tell a member of our staff.

When you come to the hospital, you should bring the following items:

• A list of all medications that you are taking (not the medication itself).
• Comprehensive insurance information, including insurance cards and second opinion documentation as required by your insurer.
• Medicare ID card to establish financial responsibility for your care.
• Medicaid Card.
• ACCCHS Card.
• Any important papers (a living will, a medical or durable power of attorney or custody papers).
• Identification

You may also choose to bring a few personal items to make your stay more pleasant. Patients are encouraged to bring comfortable pajamas or a nightgown, a robe, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, combs, brushes, shaving equipment, and cosmetics. Other items, such as reading material, small games, needlework, or pocket change may also be brought.

If you do not have medical insurance, or if your insurance company requires a deductible or co-payment, you will be expected to pay the balance of your hospital bill when you leave. A financial counselor will assist you in making special arrangements , if necessary. Payment is expected as services are rendered unless prior financial arrangements have been made.

Financial Assistance
NRMC offers a full range of financial services to aid patients seeking a funding source.  A Financial Counselor is available at 537.6352.  Please call Monday-Friday 8:00am until 3:00pm if you need financial assistance.

Semi-Private and Private Rooms
Your room will be assigned to you when you check in. Most patients receive semi-private rooms, unless a private is medically required. All rooms have attached bathrooms. Private rooms are available by request for an additional charge. The charge for a private room generally is not covered by your medical insurance. When you arrive at your room, a member of our staff will show you all of the special features designed to make you feel at home.

Intensive Care Units
Some patients require close observation 24 hours a day, and may be placed in our intensive care unit. This unit is staffed by nurses who are specially trained and are highly skilled at providing care using the most advanced equipment available.
