Hospital Follow-Up

Both physicians care for patients at Spring Valley Hospital. Patients discharged after a lung or kidney admission get same-week follow-up visits, so the plan started in the hospital keeps going.

Federal Workers and Workers' Comp

Case managers, claims examiners, attorneys, and union representatives refer patients with DOL/OWCP, DEEOIC white card, and Nevada workers' comp claims. Include the claim number with your referral, and we handle the program paperwork from there.
