your insurance will still pay, they cover when you are there, if you leave before treatment is over, however, they may not pay for further stays relating to you leaving early for that visit.

Left hospital without telling the nurses and didnt remember until half way through the nyte how is this going to affect you presesntly or in the future?
If you are ADMITTED to a hospital and leave without a doctors discharge order and paperwork, it is considered AMA (against medical advice). In many cases, your insurance can refuse to pay your hospital bill. If it was an honest mistake, call and/or return to the hospital and get your discharge paperwork in order. Explain that it was an honest mistake and you may avoid insurance problems down the road. GOOD LUCK! <<<ADR>>>
If your mom leaves the hospital AMA who is responsible for the bill?
Well just because she left against medical advice ("AMA") would not remove any financial responsibility for service and care provided while at the hospital prior to leaving. Now, if she had insurance they would pay the bill less any deductible or policy limitations. If she does not have private insurance she should contact the hospitals Medicare / Medicaid to try to get the service covered under those programs. If not then she will be financial responsibly for the medical bills, and anyone who may have provided their information to be used as a guarantor.
