At the Hospital 2


After you see a doctor at this hospital, you have to give your records to a clerk at this desk and wait for her to look them over. She stamps them and then calls your name.




Then, if you have a prescription for medicine, you have to walk through the hospital to this desk and have it checked and stamped.




After that you go to the front desk to show your insurance card. Your bill and records are checked and you are given a number. You have to wait until your number shows up on a screen. You pay at this machine. This is a new system. It's much faster to pay by machine.

You're not finished if you have a prescription. Prescriptions used to be filled at the hospital, but now you have to go to a separate pharmacy. You have to have the prescription filled in four days or it will expire.
