Department Preview: PATIENT ACCESS SERVICES About the Department Department Overview
Patient Access includes Outpatient Registration, Centralized Scheduling, Admitting, Emergency Department Registration and Reception, Insurance Verification and the Cashier. We work as a support department to schedule and register patients by obtaining demographic and insurance information. We then deal with insurance companies to verify benefits and ensure that services will get paid timely. We consistently strive for excellence in customer satisfaction which we have achieved. We are also often the first encounter that patients and visitors experience and we offer a professional and pleasant first impression of CentraState.
