If you've got some surgery coming up, the first thing you'll probably check is your insurance coverage. After that, consider checking the visitor policy when deciding among hospitals.
We've covered how to make a hospital stay easier for a family member, but that assumes you'll be able to visit them. Hospitals policies aren't consistent. Consumer Reports reminds us to check in advance:
Having a companion with you is key, especially overnight and on weekends, to act as your advocate and as an extra set of eyes and ears. Look for a hospital that encourages you to have someone with you. Research suggests that people who have a friend or family member with them in the hospital recover faster and leave the hospital sooner .
