The discharge process will be carried out following the Consultant’s confirmation of your discharge. The typical workflow involves the following stages:
Consultant Confirmation: Your attending Consultant determines and confirms your medical readiness for discharge.
Document Preparation: The Consultant and ward staff will prepare all necessary discharge documents including your discharge summary and any other relevant medical information.
System Activation: The discharge process is officially activated within the hospital’s electronic system.
Billing Information Transfer: The relevant discharge documents are then forwarded to the Finance Department for bill preparation.
Medication and Charge Finalization: The Pharmacy Department prepares any prescribed take-home medications, and all associated charges for these and other services are compiled.
Final Bill Generation: The Finance Department finalizes your hospital bill once the take-home medication is ready and all related charges have been accurately recorded.
Important Information Regarding Billing and Check-Out:
For most patients, the final bill will be ready approximately 1-2 hours from the time the discharge process is activated in the hospital system. Please note that this timeframe may vary depending on individual circumstances and the complexity of your bill.
The standard check-out time is 12:00 pm. Discharges occurring after 12:00 pm will incur additional half-day room charges.
