Emergency department and urgent medical situations

Use the emergency department for serious symptoms and urgent conditions that cannot wait for routine care.

Call 911 first when symptoms are severe

Examples include chest pain, stroke signs, severe shortness of breath, uncontrolled bleeding, fainting, major trauma, overdose, seizure, sudden weakness, or serious confusion.

Use the ER for emergency evaluation

The ER can evaluate sudden, severe, or potentially dangerous symptoms. Bring medication lists, allergies, ID, insurance card, and advance directive if available.

Know what urgent care may handle

Minor sprains, mild infections, basic testing, and non-life-threatening illnesses may be appropriate for urgent care, depending on symptoms and availability.

After ER discharge

Review discharge instructions, medication changes, follow-up appointments, warning signs, MyChart results, and whether you need a specialist or primary-care visit.

Do not use MyChart for emergencies: Prisma’s MyChart guidance says messages should not be used for urgent situations. Contact a medical center directly or dial 911 if it is an emergency.

Appointments, registration, outpatient visits, and surgery check-in

Preparation depends on whether you are going to the main hospital, emergency department, outpatient clinic, imaging center, surgery center, lab, or physician office.

Confirm the exact location. Ask whether your visit is at 400 Palmetto Health Parkway, a nearby Palmetto Health Parkway medical office, an outpatient suite, a surgery center, or another Prisma Health location.

Bring ID and insurance information. Bring a photo ID, insurance card, referral or authorization if required, medication list, allergy list, and physician order for tests or imaging.

Complete pre-registration if offered. Use the official Prisma Health route or MyChart when available. Do not submit private information through third-party forms that are not official Prisma pages.

Ask about fasting and medication instructions. Imaging, lab work, surgery, endoscopy, anesthesia, and some heart tests may require fasting, medication holds, or transportation after sedation.

Arrive early for scheduled testing. Allow time for parking, registration, insurance verification, consent forms, lab collection, or check-in at a specialty suite.

Use MyChart for follow-up. After the visit, check MyChart for test results, provider comments, after-visit summaries, medication instructions, and upcoming appointments.

Building warning: The Parkridge campus includes hospital and nearby specialty locations. A department address may be 400, 300, or 100 Palmetto Health Parkway. Confirm before driving.

Finding doctors, departments, and clinic locations near Baptist Parkridge

A doctor may be affiliated with the hospital, located on the Parkridge campus, or located at a nearby Prisma Health practice. Verify the exact appointment site.

Use Prisma Health provider search

Search by specialty, provider name, condition, or location. Check whether the appointment is at the hospital, a nearby office, or a different Prisma campus.

Check referral requirements

Some specialist visits, imaging, procedures, therapies, or surgeries may require a physician order, referral, insurance approval, or pre-authorization.

Confirm hospital privileges

If you are choosing a surgeon or specialist, ask where the procedure will happen and whether Baptist Parkridge is the correct facility.

Ask about separate bills

Hospital facility charges, provider charges, anesthesia, radiology, lab, and pathology may bill separately depending on the service.

Prisma Health MyChart: test results, messages, appointments, and bill access

MyChart is the main online patient portal for many Prisma Health patients.

Open the official Prisma Health MyChart page. Use Prisma Health MyChart directly, not a third-party portal link.

Sign in or request access. Use your activation code if you have one, or follow the sign-up process to verify your identity.

Use MyChart for non-urgent access. View test results, appointments, messages, prescription renewal requests, bills, estimates, and other available health information.

Call support if access fails. Prisma lists MyChart support at 844-432-6893, generally during weekday support hours.

Do not use MyChart for emergencies. If the issue requires immediate attention, call the medical center directly or dial 911.

Portal privacy warning: Do not share your MyChart username or password. Anyone with portal access may see confidential medical-record information.

Medical records, release forms, imaging reports, and older records

Records tip: Prisma’s privacy notice explains that each hospital, clinic, or outpatient visit creates a health record that can include symptoms, exams, tests, diagnoses, treatment, and care plans. MyChart may not contain the complete legal medical record.

Billing, insurance, estimates, visit accounts, and payment questions

Hospital billing can involve facility charges, physician charges, insurance adjustments, deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, lab, imaging, anesthesia, and outside provider bills.

Use MyChart for bills

Prisma MyChart allows bill review and payment access. Pay-as-Guest may be available when you have guarantor or account details from a statement.

Request an estimate before scheduled care

For planned procedures, ask for a Good Faith Estimate or Prisma price estimate and confirm what is included or excluded.

Check insurance before arrival

Call your insurer to verify whether the hospital, provider, anesthesiologist, radiologist, lab, and service are in-network.

Compare every statement

Match date of service, visit account, insurance payment, patient responsibility, Prisma facility name, and any separate provider bills.

Before care

Ask whether authorization is required and whether facility, provider, anesthesia, pathology, imaging, or lab bills may arrive separately.

After care

Review the Explanation of Benefits from your insurer before paying a balance you do not understand.

If you cannot pay

Ask Prisma Health about financial assistance, payment plans, discounts, required documents, and whether an application can be submitted through MyChart.

Financial assistance and help with medical bills

Patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing a large balance should ask about assistance before ignoring statements.

Ask for Prisma Health financial assistance screening. Use Prisma billing resources, MyChart, or the financial-assistance page to ask whether you qualify for help with emergency or medically necessary care.

Gather documents. You may need proof of income, household size, insurance status, ID, tax information, benefit letters, or other documents.

Ask which bills are covered. Hospital facility bills, physician bills, anesthesia bills, radiology bills, ambulance bills, and outside lab bills may be handled differently.

Get the decision in writing. Keep copies of the application, approval or denial, account numbers, payment-plan terms, and all documents submitted.

Helpful wording: “I received a Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital bill for date of service ____. I cannot afford the balance. Can you screen me for financial assistance, discounts, payment plans, and required documents?”

Visitor information, patient stay, and family communication

Visitor rules can change by unit, infection-control needs, age restrictions, patient condition, privacy preferences, and hospital security.

Call before visiting

Call the main hospital line before arriving if the patient is in ICU, surgery, emergency care, isolation, maternity-related care, or a restricted unit.

Bring only what is needed

Bring ID, phone charger, medication list, insurance card, advance directive, glasses, hearing aids, mobility aids, and a small personal bag if admitted.

Respect privacy limits

The hospital may not release patient location or condition if privacy rules, patient preference, or law restrict disclosure.

Ask about discharge planning early

Family members should ask about medication changes, home care, equipment, rehab, follow-up appointments, transportation, and warning signs.

Visitor tip: Online visitor pages are only a starting point. Unit-specific instructions can override general visitor guidance.

Parking, campus navigation, Wi-Fi, and nearby Parkridge locations

The Parkridge campus area includes the main hospital and nearby outpatient or specialty offices. Confirm the exact address and suite.

Campus need	What to check	Practical note

Patient privacy, rights, safety concerns, and patient advocacy

Patients and caregivers should know how to ask questions, protect private information, and raise concerns during care.

Start with the care team

Ask the nurse, charge nurse, physician, case manager, or unit leader to explain medications, tests, delays, discharge planning, or safety concerns.

Use patient relations when unresolved

If a concern is not resolved at the bedside, ask the hospital for the patient relations or patient advocacy contact route.

Protect private information

Do not share photos, room numbers, patient details, medical charts, or MyChart screenshots without the patient’s permission.

Document concerns clearly

Write down date, time, department, room, staff role if known, issue, who you spoke with, and what follow-up was promised.

Privacy note: Prisma Health’s privacy notice explains that medical information is used for treatment, payment, and health-care operations, and that patients have rights related to their health information.
