    Out on Pass Request

  • The resident was admitted to Cold Spring Hills for a skilled stay to be rehabilitated. Insurance has approved this rehabilitation as they feel it is necessary for the well-being of the resident. Short-term residents going out for social visits or other non-medical-related appointments are discouraged from going out. The particular insurance carrier may deem a social visit or non-medical outing as a reason to deny the claim for the rehabilitative services resulting in immediate discharge from Cold Spring Hills. 

    If you are requesting clearance for a medical appointment, please reach out to the medical clinic for further instructions. They can be reached at 516-622-7735.
