Discharge Information
Your doctor will determine the date of your discharge from the hospital. Once you find out when you will be discharged, you should make arrangements for your transportation home. You should plan to check out by 11:00am if possible. Late departures will incur added charges. It is possible that your insurance company will not cover this additional charge. Therefore, you would be responsible for any additional charges incurred by leaving late.

If someone will be coming for you, ask him/her to bring clothes or other items you may need. If you or a family member did not see an admissions counselor before or during your stay , you will need to meet with a counselor in the admitting office to discuss your hospital charges before you leave. Any questions you may have about your bill will be answered at that time.
