Soon after your discharge is ordered by the doctor, a Notice of Discharge will be given to you by your nurse. It takes a little time to gather all the necessary information and charges prior to your discharge and we thank you in advance for your patience. Please refer to the Notice of Discharge for the estimated time when your bill will be ready.

Patients whose Notices of Discharge are received from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon will not be charged for the room and board for the day and they can stay until 3:00 p.m. Those whose Discharge Notices are received after 12:00 noon will be charged for the room and board for the day and they can stay until 12:00 midnight.

The Center's policies provide that all bills should be settled in cash before a patient is discharged. For corporate accounts and payments in check or credit card, negotiations may be made with the Treasury Division, on a case-to-case basis. (Note: Long distance calls are billed separately.)

Be sure to check your bill before payment. Please see the Billing Section at the basement for any clarification. Hospital bills and reader's fees are settled at the Cashier's Office at the basement. Doctor's bill for Professional Fee should also be paid at the Cashier.
