Admission Process

We are here to assist you with any questions.

Welcome to Calvary Hospital

Calvary is proud to welcome adult patients of all backgrounds and beliefs. A person may be a candidate for admission if they are diagnosed as having advanced cancer or other life-limiting illness and need an acute care medical setting.

Admission Process (En español)

For admission to Calvary Hospital, an application needs to be completed and submitted for review. Admission Application and descriptive brochures are available through the Community Outreach Department.

Social Workers, Case Managers, and Discharge Planners at referring facilities can initiate the referral process by faxing a single page referral to Community Outreach Services (fax: 718-518-2670). The Outreach Nurse Liaison can complete the full application on-site at the facility if requested. Applications can also be initiated via telephone from community physicians, home care agencies, hospices, nursing homes and directly by patients or family.

The completed admission application is promptly reviewed by the medical/clinical staff to determine if the clinical criteria for admission is met. Once the application is determined to be acceptable, the Admitting Department will contact the referrer or family to verify insurance and schedule admission.

Insurance Information

Calvary Hospital accepts patients participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs, Blue Cross and other private insurance carriers.

Some insurances do have limits to their coverage; therefore, an admitting representative may discuss with the family what benefits may be obtained by applying for Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and also provide them with information related to Calvary’s Financial Assistance Program.

For assistance, please call our Community Outreach Services Team: 718-518-2000, ext. 2300

You, your family member, or your friend has been admitted to Calvary based on specific admission criteria. Patients must be 18 years or older with a diagnosis of cancer and/or other terminal illness or wound care requiring hospital treatment.

Patients are admitted for one of two reasons. In the first case, advanced cancer patients and patients with other terminal illnesses are admitted at the end of their illness with severe symptoms related to their disease, including nausea, severe weight loss, pain, and/or confusion. These patients need sophisticated treatment to control their symptoms, which must be monitored daily by specially trained personnel. In the latter case, patients are admitted for treatment of symptoms related to their diagnosis that cannot be treated in another setting. These patients need continuous supervision from a medical team for treatment of infections, complex wound care, and/or other medical treatments. We welcome patients of all backgrounds and beliefs. Calvary does not accept patients who are on dialysis or ventilators.

Upon admission, you will meet with an admitting representative who will obtain written permission to treat the patient. Calvary Hospital accepts patients participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, Blue Cross and other private insurance carriers. Some insurance carriers do have limits to their coverage. Therefore, the admitting representative may discuss with the family what benefits may be obtained by applying for Medical Assistance (Medicaid).

Calvary Hospital is required by law to protect the privacy of health information that may reveal a patient’s identity and to provide patients with a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices upon admission to the hospital.

We provide healthcare services in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Patients must sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice, or hospital staff must document that good faith efforts were made to obtain a signature. A copy of the signed form is given to the patient and is filed in the medical record.

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act which is a federal law that went into effect in 1996. It has 3 Goals:

  1. Portability of Health Insurance for Individuals
  2. To protect the Privacy and Security of Patient Health Information
  3. To eradicate Fraud and Abuse

Calvary Hospital acepta pacientes que participan en programas de Medicare y Medicaid, Blue Cross y otras compañías aseguradoras privadas. Algunas compañías aseguradoras tienen límites en sus coberturas. Por tanto, el representante de admisiones puede discutir con la familia qué beneficios pueden ser obtenidos solicitando Atención Médica (Medicaid) y también les puede proporcionar información relacionada con el programa de servicio no compensado Hill-Burton subvencionado de manera federal.

Patient Testimonials

My daughter Priscilla was only 36 years old with terminal brain cancer. We thought it would be impossible to find a place with the same warmth and comfort of our home. Then we found Calvary Hospital. I believe that God gave us Calvary Hospital. Felicisima Hernandez

We knew that dad, who was dying of brain cancer, would probably not make it to our wedding. Luckily, Calvary offered us their chapel for the ceremony. There was dad, sitting front and center at the wedding with his bright rosy cheeks… Dad passed away just a few weeks later, but not before you gave him back his love for life… and a front row seat at his daughter’s wedding. Bridget Cevasco

The amazing people at Calvary helped my wife, Maureen, the love of my life, spend her final days in peace… Because of Calvary, I never doubt that I did the right thing for my sweetheart. Joseph W. Cooney
