Qualifying Hospital Visit

Notify the hospital Discharge Planner that your preference is Canal View. The Discharge Planner will contact the Canal View Admissions Nurse to start the admissions process.
Your hospital Discharge Planner will make a referral to Canal View for consideration. Your Discharge Planner is responsible for ensuring that all information in the referral packet is complete and accurate. Delays or inaccurate information from the hospital setting will result in the possible lack of a bed at the facility.
After your complete referral packet is submitted by your hospital Discharge Planner, Canal View will verify your insurance and eligibility.
If you are eligible, Canal View will inform your hospital Discharge Planner and they will discuss the next steps towards your transition.

*A qualifying hospital stay is a three-night minimum inpatient hospital stay.
