Cardiology Services

CentraState Medical Center is a participating provider in many, but not all, insurance plans. Participation does not necessarily mean that your bill will be paid in full by your insurance. You should contact your insurance plan prior to receiving service to determine: a) if the service is covered at this facility, b) any referral or certification requirements, and c) the amount for which you will be responsible. The medical center will submit your bill to any insurance, if billing information is provided, but cannot guarantee payment of the bill by the insurance carrier. A copy of your hospital bill will be provided upon request.

 

If you have any insurance, including Medicaid or Medicare, please bring your membership card and other pertinent information (e.g. motor vehicle insurance information or worker's compensation claim numbers). If you do not have any insurance, refer to the NJ Hospital Care Payment Assistance Fact Sheet for information on the NJ HealthCare for the Uninsured Program. If you have insufficient insurance coverage, and/or cannot make payment before leaving, we request that you discuss financial arrangements with a Credit Representative at (732) 294-2644.

 

CentraState Medical Center may request a deposit prior to rendering service and/or prior to discharge, based upon estimated charges and estimated balances due, which insurance is not expected to cover. Many variable financial situations may arise. In all cases patient health and well-being are the utmost concern of CentraState Medical Center. Medically necessary care will not be denied or delayed due to financial considerations.

It depends on the type of test you are having. For information about your
specific test, visit our Diagnostic Testing page.

Please use CentraState's Physician Finder to see a complete list of Cardiologists on staff.

If you are scheduled for a Stress Test, you will be notified of how early to arrive when the test is confirmed the evening prior to the test. For other tests, plan to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled test to allow time for check-in.

The testing time varies by procedure. For more information, visit our Diagnostic Testing page.

All tests are read by a Cardiologist within 1-2 days of the test. The test findings are then forwarded to your primary physician, who will notify you of the results.

Please check with the physician referring you for the test.

Please bring your driver's license, insurance information, and referral, if required by your insurance.

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in, and comfortable shoes, preferably sneakers. For specific information about your test, visit our Diagnostic Testing page.
