Compare
When choosing a hospital, it's important to first find out from your doctor which hospitals are options, and then look at how their quality compares. Generally, for non-urgent care, you can examine your options in advance. Health insurance often determines where you can get care and how much you will pay for it, so be sure to contact your health plan before deciding on a hospital.
