Great job! Here's a breakdown of how to identify the simple subject and simple predicate in each sentence:

1. After being examined and discharged, she went home.
- Simple subject: In this sentence, the simple subject is "she". To identify the simple subject, ask the question, "Who is being examined and discharged?" The answer is "she".
- Simple predicate: The simple predicate is "went". To identify the simple predicate, ask the question, "What did she do?" The answer is "went". However, in this sentence, there is also a compound verb, which includes "being examined". So, the complete simple predicate is "being examined and discharged".

2. The consultation was billed to his HMO.
- Simple subject: In this sentence, the simple subject is "consultation". To identify the simple subject, ask the question, "Who or what was billed?" The answer is "consultation".
- Simple predicate: The simple predicate is "was billed". To identify the simple predicate, ask the question, "What was done to the consultation?" The answer is "was billed".

Remember, the simple subject is the main noun or pronoun in the subject of the sentence, while the simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that tells what the subject does or what is done to the subject.
