The 3 step IP admission process involves 1) discussing the preferred admission date with the patient and ensuring beds are available, 2) checking doctor and operating theatre availability for the preferred date, and obtaining authorization, and 3) providing the patient with admission sheets and initiating the insurance clearance process if applicable. Billing requires a minimum advance payment amount from the patient to clear the admission in the hospital system and notify stakeholders.
