New to CDMS? Here's what to expect from referral to recovery, what to bring, and how billing works.
What to expect

Referral & intake
Most patients arrive with a referral. Our intake team will collect your insurance information and medical history before your first visit.

Consultation
Your surgeon, anesthesiologist, or pain management specialist will review your diagnosis and any relevant imaging. They will explain your options and answer questions before anything is scheduled.
-

Day of your procedure
Plan to spend several hours with us. Our concierge nursing team will be with you from start to finish. Please ensure that you have a family member for transport to and from the surgery center if you're receiving sedation of any kind.

Recovery & follow-up
You'll leave with detailed recovery instructions and a follow-up appointment if one is needed.
What to bring
Documentation
Photo ID, insurance card, your referral, and any pathology reports or imaging related to your visit.

A current list of medications and supplements, including dosages — some may need to be paused before your procedure.
