Patient Checklist

If you are being admitting to NOHC, please plan to bring the following materials with you:

• A list of current medications and dosages
• Medical information and X rays supplied by your physician, if requested
• Any forms you were asked to bring, such as surgical consent or registration forms
• Contact information for your referring physician, if you have one
• Written authorization from your HMO or PPO, if they gave you one
• Insurance information, including your insurance, Medicare, or public-aid cards
• Your Neurologic & Orthopedic Institute registration number, if you were provided with one
• Your living will or other healthcare directives, if you have them
• Items to help pass the time between appointments
• A copy of our brochure: Patient's Guide to the Neurologic & Orthopedic Hospital of Chicago
• Plan to leave valuables at home as NOHC is not responsible for items that may be lost or misplaced during your stay. If you decide to bring any electronic devices to NOHC, please check with your nurse before plugging in these devices.
