We want to make it as easy as possible for you to admit your patients to Banner Gateway Medical Center.
A physician order is required for all patient admissions to Banner Gateway Medical Center.
Patients may be treated only by providers who have submitted proper credentials and have been duly appointed to membership on the medical staff.
Direct admits
The attending/admitting physician or designee can call Bed Placement at (480) 543-2286 with the provisional diagnosis prior to their patient’s admission. Providers will be required to submit the following information:
In certain situations insurance information is necessary to ensure prior authorization is received.
A patient placement representative will arrange for bed assignment if a bed is available or will place the patient on a waiting list. If a direct admit is in advance of a procedure, the placement representative keeps the information until the procedure date, but providers should keep in mind there may be delays due to patient census.
Hospitalists
Banner Gateway Medical Center provides in-house hospitalist coverage for patients. Hospitalists provide acute inpatient care 24/7, assisting providers on admission and discharge, as well as coordinate care for inpatients during their hospital stay.
If you are looking to schedule a test or a procedure for your patient, we have direct contact numbers available for you and your staff to make it as easy as possible.
Specialty areas that have direct numbers include:
Special Procedures:
Banner Gateway Medical Center provides patients with online pre-registration. This secure, online system allows patients to pre-register for scheduled visits in advance, at their convenience, from home or office.
The overall goal for case managers is to facilitate collaborative and cost-efficient interactions among providers that effectively integrate medical, psychological and social services to provide timely, appropriate and beneficial care to the patient.
Case management is responsible for working with patients, families, insurance companies, the health care team, community resources and discharge placement agencies. They ensure quality care, secure reimbursement, coordinate efficiency, and discharge during acute hospitalization.
Discharge Planning
Discharge planning begins upon admission with an assessment of the patient’s condition and living environment, and a review of anticipated needs at the time of discharge.
The referral process allows for physicians, staff, patients and families to ask for assistance. Communication and collaboration is an important aspect of the discharge plan.
The Case Management department is composed of:
