Admissions and Disposition (A&D) 

Our services are provided to all our beneficiaries who may be having surgery, experiencing an upcoming delivery or during emergencies. Once you have received notification of your upcoming surgery, stop by the PAD office to start your pre-admission process. The pre-admission process is also needed for obstetric care. Please bring the pre-delivery documentation provided by the Women’s Health Clinic for pre-admission and complete the Tennessee birth certificate worksheet.

During the pre-admission or admission’s process, you will receive information about your Patient's Rights and Responsibilities to include your right of having an Advanced Medical Directive. If you have an Advanced Medical Directive, it is important to keep a copy in your medical records to fulfill your medical wishes. Please bring the original copy to Outpatient Records located on the first floor (see Medical Records) to be uploaded into your electronic health record (HAIMS).

All Retirees and their Family members will be requested to provide or update information regarding secondary form of medical insurance by filling out a DD Form 2569 (Third Party Collection Program-Record of Other Health Insurance) once a calendar year.
