If you are having any pathology or biopsies/labs conducted (breast, gynecology, orthopaedic, general surgery), you will also receive a separate pathology bill from Elliot.

In New Hampshire, you have the right to let others know your wishes in advance regarding medical care through a Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. You have the right to indicate what medical care you would want to accept or refuse should you become incapacitated.

A federal law known as the Patient Self-Determination Act requires that, upon admission to the hospital, you be asked if you have a Living Will and/or Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. If you have one or both documents, please provide them to your provider to keep them on file.

A nurse will call you prior to your surgery date to review your health history, medication list, allergies, preoperative instructions and arrival time.
