Pre-Admission Procedures for the
Physicians Surgery Center

We are looking forward to having you as a patient. To help make sure your visit goes smoothly, we ask that you have a pre-admission/registration interview at the Physicians Surgery Center at least a week before your scheduled procedure.

The pre-admission process eliminates the need for additional time for testing or paperwork on the day of your procedure. It also allows the physician to view your results before your surgery. This, in turn, reduces any delay due to abnormal lab work that is completed 72 hours before surgery.

The pre-admission process includes an admission/registration interview, the gathering of insurance information, a nursing history and physical, and any pre-admission testing required before your procedure. The entire process could take up to two hours.

Here’s what you should do...

  • Come to the Physicians Surgery Center at 207 Stonebridge Blvd. in Jackson. We are open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. (We are closed on major holidays.)
  • No appointment is necessary, but you may call ahead at (731) 661-6340.
  • Please bring with you: Your insurance cards, a list of all medications you are currently taking, the pre-admission form (filled out). You can download a pdf of the form here, to fill out and bring with you. Also bring a copy of your Living Will or Durable Power of Attorney, if you have one.
  • Fasting is not required for pre-admission lab work unless your doctor tells you to fast.
  • You will be given any special instructions you need to follow before your procedure, as well as driving instructions for the day of your procedure.
