PRIOR APPROVAL AND THE PRE-AUTHORIZATION PROCESS
If you have managed care insurance and wish to be seen at Stony Brook University Hospital, you must obtain a referral from your Primary Care Physician. Some services, for example Radiology and Therapy services, may require pre-authorization from your insurance company prior to your patient visit, test or procedure. You should refer to your insurance handbook or speak to your insurance carrier regarding pre-authorization policy and procedure.
If a patient does not have medical insurance or has a substantial balance after an insurance payment, Stony Brook University Hospital has an internal financial assistance program available. The discount applied is based on income and number of dependents. For further information call 631-444-4331.
You may contact the Customer Service department by calling 444-4151 during office hours (Monday - Friday, 8 am - 6 pm).
