Outpatient Services

Outpatient Services are medical procedures or tests that are done in the hospital; most are performed in only a few hours, in the same day. Outpatient Services include diagnostic tests and procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, biopsy procedures, lab tests and diagnostic imaging that can be performed and the results are typically the same day. Treatments include many surgeries, chemotherapy, and physical therapy. Sleep studies require an overnight stay.

These procedures are all performed in the safety of a hospital setting. Outpatient care tends to be less expensive since it is often less involved and does not require a patient’s continued presence in a facility.
