I got a TKR done for my mother (UID[protected] and she got discharged 3rd March from Fortis Vashi, Mumbai
However, more than a month and after the hospitalization claim has been settled by the Insurance company, I am yet to receive my deposit amount of INR 20k. How can there be SLA of 2 months in this digital age??? While taking deposit its immediate, isn't it?
Firstly, deposit shouldn't have been needed especially as this is a network hospital and I am on a corporate plan. But I still gave the deposit
Secondly, no one lifts the phone; the main line is unanswered always. Once while my mom was in hospital post surgery I was unable to reach her as no one answered the call
Thirdly, TPA desk at Fortis Vashi is quite incompetent barring a lady. Only because of her we were able to complete the admission which took 1.5hrs. I brought this to the patient advisor's notice but I doubt any action has been taken
Fourth, I do believe the management is very ineffective as other than the doctors who are extremely good, overall management is not good at all. I find no reason to visit this hospital again unless of course I have to go there again to get my refund as no one answers the phone or are busy having meetings with management!

1. I was asked to change for test unfortunately dress given was unclean smelling and looks not washed fro months together. Due to small it was difficult to put it on i approached the administrator a Sikh gentle men who promised to get it changed but nothing happened in next 30 minutes. In Pandemic time wearing such cloths were nightmare to me and being UN Diplomat posted whole life out of India had never experienced such chiotic/negligent and carelessness attitude of a supposed to me premier health institute of India. I decided to undergo test with soiled dress but it took 90 minuted to find a nurse for IV required for test but had no choice but to get it done though dress was stinking.
In this difficult period i will suggest Hospitals to be more careful on Hygiene and cleanliness but my repeated request did not bear any results on other hand i was advised to get refund of test after 3 hrs of struggling. Before escalating complaint at International fraternity and WHO i would like to get Hospital Management response and look into the whole episode deeply.
