Final bill for settlement can only be generated after a "May Go Home" notice from the ward nurse-on-duty. For DAMA (discharged against medical advice), the Billing Section receives a copy of the signed waiver that the patient will no longer pursue treatment at the hospital from the ward nurse. The billing staff generates a SOA after all the charges are documented which is forwarded by the billing staff to the ward nurse-on-duty.
The patient or his/her relative may settle the SOA at the cashier
within a maximum period of two (2) hours. The SOA is considered final and payable after the grace period.
All availments of admitted HMO patients will be generated using the same SOA. All needed documentary requirements should be submitted to the Billing Section before the SOA is printed, otherwise no PHIC and HMO claims can be processed.
Patients may opt to be under the services of non-PHIC doctor but no PHIC and HMO claim can be processed. Any balance outside of the HMO and PHIC shall be shouldered by the patient.
For other patient without HMO but with PHIC, the documentary requirements need to be complete otherwise PHIC will not process the claim. Any balance remaining after payment by any insurance will be out-of-pocket expenditure by the patient or his relative. No clearance may be issued by the Admitting Department until an official receipt is issued by the cashier for complete settlement.
