Visiting Hours

The support of family and friends is a very important part of rehabilitation. We encourage visitors Monday through Friday between the hours of 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm; and Saturday and Sunday from noon until 8:00 pm.

Your therapy requires a good deal of energy and time, so we ask that your guests be considerate of your scheduled therapy sessions and your rest periods.

The following are general guidelines for visitors:

• Please remember, if you have a cold, sore throat, or are generally not feeling will, you should not visit patients.


• To protect our patient's privacy and to ensure patient confidentiality, visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.

Financial Arrangements

Medical care at California Pacific Medical Center is covered by most insurance plans. Insurance companies are contacted for prior authorization before admission. Most insurance plans will follow patient progress throughout their hospitalization.

Government (Medicare, Medi-cal, Medi-caid) and private insurance providers have clinical and financial criteria that must be satisfied. This criteria is reviewed with you upon or prior to admission. The clinical requirements for a rehabilitation hospitalization will vary depending on the level of care required.

If you have questions about our billing services or a statement you received for care, visit our Patient Financial Services web page.
