A small advance payment is necessary, which is adjusted later in the final bill. In case a patient is using cashless services, they can visit the TPA or insurance desk for assistance.
Discharge Process
A patient may get discharged anywhere between 3-6 hours after discharge is initiated. After the bills are paid and the final settlement is done, the nurse helps with any post-discharge instructions and medicines, if the doctor has prescribed them. The discharge summary and any belongings of the patient are handed over. Ambulance service is available for drop service but its requirement should be informed to the nurse beforehand.
