Can I go through the discharge formalities this afternoon?

You can't. You can't go through the discharge formalities in the afternoon. Generally speaking, the hospital discharge time is 10 am. Because the settlement time of medical insurance is limited, it is between 9 am and 5 pm. If the medical insurance is not settled within this time period, you can only wait until the next day to go through the discharge formalities. In other words, if you want to leave the hospital on the same day, you must complete all the formalities before 10 am. If you exceed this time in the afternoon, you need to stay in the hospital for one more day and wait until the next day to go through the discharge formalities.
