Hospital stay billing

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering what you've experienced after surgery in terms of how the hospital billing for private rooms works for part days?? Like, let's say you're surgery is Monday morning and you leave Wednesday in the early afternoon. Would you be billed for 3 full days or some kind of prorated amount? Or is it like a hotel where if you leave by such and such time it's counted as part of the day before???

And do you have x-number of days to pay the amount insurance doesn't cover, or do they just bill it to your credit card right away?

I'm at TWH if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

I believe that they bill your credit card directly....and not sure how they do the days... I just went with the ohip one and it was fine..but they give you the paperwork still for what ohip pays for...and it just shows on mine for the 2 days.

OHIP pays for some and I have private insurance that pays for most .. so the rest does go on a credit card..as far as how many days ... dunno.. call them I called a got the scoop from TWH billing.
