Pre-admission Testing. We will pay for preadmission testing when performed at the Hospital where surgery is schedule to take place, if: • Reservations for a Hospital bed and for an operating room at that Hospital have been made, prior to performance of tests; • Your physician has ordered the tests; • Surgery actually takes place within seven days of such preadmission tests. • If surgery is canceled because of the preadmission test findings, we will still cover the cost of these tests.
