Community Memorial Hospital offers a preregistration service that allows
us to verify all demographic and insurance information prior to your delivery.
Expectant mothers should preregister by the seventh month of pregnancy. The preregistration process allows Community Memorial to communicate with
your insurance company to verify benefits and eligibility and eliminates
the stress of doing this additional paperwork when you come in to deliver
your baby. You need the following information to preregister:
Name of the pediatrician/family practice physician who will care for your infant
Insurance company information/card
Name of your employer
Due date (or admitting date if you are having a scheduled C-section)
Social Security Number
Emergency notification numbers
Ways to Pre-Register
Preregister in person by visiting Admitting on the first floor of Community
Memorial Hospital – Ventura, which is open from 5 am to 8 pm daily.
For any questions on how to pre-register, call
805-948-8310.
Your Baby’s Birth Certificate
Your child will need this essential piece of paperwork throughout his or
her life. Birth certificate registration for your baby is done while you
are in the hospital. Your baby will also be issued a Social Security Number
at this time.
We encourage you to print these forms, fill them out, and bring them with
you when you arrive to deliver your baby. If you don't bring them with
you, the forms will be available at the hospital and you'll be asked to
complete them once you arrive at the postpartum unit.
This form serves as an official declaration of paternity when the child’s
parents are not married. Paternity papers can be filled out and signed
by both parents. A government issued photo ID (driver’s license,
passport, etc.) is required to sign the papers. The paternity forms are
available through the birth clerk in the hospital. Once paternity papers
are signed, the father can be listed as such on the birth certificate.
This does not affect the baby’s last name – the baby can have
the father’s last name regardless of whether or not the father has
signed the paternity papers. The paternity forms are available in the hospital.
