Preparing For Surgery at ASC

Before Your Procedure

Pre-register 24-48 hours before your procedure at Sierra View Medical Center. Bring a picture ID, insurance cards, and any paperwork from your physician’s office. If required, lab tests such as a COVID-19 test, blood work, urine test, or EKG will be completed during registration.

A liaison nurse will call the day before to confirm your arrival time, review your medical history, and provide instructions.
