Discharge Order

The discharge order is made by the attending physician. Once the patient is ready to go home, the nurse will send the discharge notice slip to the Billing Section. The slip will be returned to the patient with the time of claiming of Billing Statement from the Billing Section.

Once the Billing Statement has been claimed, the patient’s family or companion should settle the account at the Cashier to get clearance slips. The slips should be submitted to the Nurse Supervisor for signature. Signed slips must be presented to the Admitting Section and to the Lobby Guard before leaving the hospital.

Cut-off for Discharge: 12:00 NN

Room Usage

Room billing is based on the admission time and the time of discharge on the discharge slip. Half-day room usage will be changed for:

• Admissions after 12:00 NN
• Discharge notice before 12:00 NN
