[Resolved]  Asian Heart Institute — astronomical prices charged for aortic procedure

Address:

Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

My father B G Rao, underwent a complex procedure of bypass grafting and stent grafting in the year 2009 jan. The operation costed us a staggering 17 lakhs rupees. each stent costing Rs. 4.5 lakhs(two such stents were used). I feel the stents are very abnormally highly priced. Further the endovascular stenting was not done upto the mark. In spite of a leakage having been detected 6 months later i.e in June 2009, no action was taken by the attending interventional radiologist. Dr Hemant Deshmukh and he continuously ignored this matter and matters have come to this stage that a repeat procedure has to be performed to rectify the damage caused.
The cost should have been anywhere nearing say 8-10 lakhs. Asian Heart Institute is swindling money from its gullible customers.I seem to have paid a cool Rs. 8-10 lakhs more. after taking huge loan for my father's treatment.
Please address my grievance and help me.
