Your Surgeon has referred you to General Medical Consultants, Inc. for your pre-admission testing in preparation for your scheduled surgery. Your testing should be completed approximately 21 to 30 days prior to your scheduled surgery date.
Our offices are located at:
Grant Hospital
New Albany Surgical Hospital
Grady Memorial Hospital
See our contacts and directions for more information. The testing for your pre-admission will include:
Complete History and Physical Examination
Chest X-ray, if indicated by past history or family history
EKG (it is important to abstain using creams, lotions, oils etc., as this test is most accurate if the contact is on clean dry skin)
Laboratory work-up (blood work, urinalysis, however you may eat, drink and take your medications prior to your appointment).
The physician evaluating you will determine whether any additional studies are necessary. If he/she should determine that further studies are indicated to clear you for surgery, the test(s) will be scheduled for you at an outside facility.
Your pre-admission testing appointment will take approximately 1-3 hours, depending on what your surgeon has ordered.
Please bring all forms completed, along with your current insurance card(s) and a driver’s license. We will be happy to assist you in filling any claims with your insurance company. If your insurance company requires a referral from your Primary Care Physician, please do so prior to your appointment. You will be expected to pay any co-payment or deductible at the time of service.
If you have had any testing completed in the past year please have this information available. If you are unable to bring a copy of the test results with you please have the name and telephone number available for our office. If you have any questions regarding your pre-admission testing appointment, please contact us at 614.221.3725.
