Before Your Stay

Pre-admission tests ensure that you are healthy enough for your procedure or surgery. Your care team schedules these outpatient tests in advance.

These diagnostic tests may include:

• Blood work
• Imaging
• Heart health checks 

What to Expect at Pre-Admission Testing

We complete most pre-admission tests at the BID Plymouth Medical Office Building at 46 Obery Street. This building is across from the helipad on the hospital campus.

Your appointment will take about two hours to complete. Please bring a list of your medications and dosage, or the original bottles.

Here’s a list of items to consider packing for your inpatient care:

• List of all current medications you take
• Night clothes
• Reading material
• Robe
• Slippers
• Toiletries, such as hairbrush, toothbrush and toothpaste

Bring any essential item such as contact lenses, eye glasses, hearing aids and dentures with you. You will be asked to keep these items in a specific container to assist with loss prevention. It is important that you assist us in placing these items in the designated container when not is use.

• BID Plymouth is not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
• Don’t leave these items on your food tray.
• Store personal items in your bedside drawer.

We recommend you leave these items at home:

• Electronics
• Jewelry
• Large amounts of money
• Medications
• Valuables

BID Plymouth is not responsible for the loss or damage of any personal property kept in your room.

Before your hospital stay, a BID Plymouth patient access representative will call you to gather personal, financial and health insurance details.

On the day of your procedure, bring your Medicare/Medicaid or private health insurance card and any needed forms with you.

Use the PIDC Pavilion main entrance off Obery Street. Check in at the patient registration area to complete any other required forms.
