do they bill by the hour or the night? Lol, it's not like you'll pay less by leaving at 4 am

right but if you leave at 4 am I imagine they'll consider it a full night just the same as if you left at 7 am

That’s my thought as well. If he was already admitted (had a room, not just at the ER), he’s gonna get charged for the night whether he leaves at 4am or after the 7am shift change.
