I went there for a back problem, I was asked to take an X-RAY for Rs. 1500 and wasn't given a hard copy, I was asked to pay 180 for hard copy. I was bounced to Neuro by the Ortho doctor, then the Neuro bounced me to ENT. I had to pay Rs.800 for each of these consultations. The ENT doctor asked me to do a hearing test, which was perfect according to the audiologist. When I went to collect the report, they asked me to pay Rs.1200. Then he held my head and did some basic maneuvers for a minute maximum. I then left the hospital. Later that day, I got a call from the hospital staff that I have an outstanding of Rs.2500. When asked for what, he said for the head maneuvers. If I had known that he would be charging me for it, I would have gone to my regular ENT doctor who does Epley's Maneuvers as part of his consultation. These charges were not disclosed to me before the procedure was done, I did not even know this was a chargeable thing. If I had known, I would not have opted for it. Despite spending all this money, my health complaint still remains.
This was in Manipal Hospital, Hebbal. Was this information helpful? |
