I work in a hospital. I want to know what we should call the proof of appointment. And I want to know the name of the place where we pay the bill after treatment.

Are you referring to your appointment in the hospital or appointment obtained by people to consult a doctor? Where I live, bills are paid at the billing counter or at the receptionist's desk.– user32480Jan 31, 2013 at 5:13

Reading this as a Briton and seeing "And I want to know the name of the place where we pay the bill after treatment." made me smile. Those who are British or Canadian should understand what I mean.– EM-CreationsJan 31, 2013 at 13:13

As an American, I also smiled at this, but wryly, understanding as I do that our friends in Great Britain and Canada do not have to pay after treatment. In the U.S., we usually call the place where we pay the bill "the cashier" (or "cashier's desk," or "cashier's office").– John M. LandsbergMar 6, 2013 at 8:42

In English, you'd call the proof that you have an appointment to see a doctor at a hospital clinic an appointment slip. A "slip" is a piece of paper. The slip in the link is an official US Army document labeled Appointment Slip. That term should work in Korea.

Appointment card is commonly used in places where appointment slips are commonly on card. Jan 31, 2013 at 12:02
A case paper is something the patient may provide as proof of having an appointment to see the doctor.
