Pune Municipal Corporation — over charging for dengue tests

Oct 24, 2017

Updated by Madhurikaur Dear Sir,

This is a complaint against Apollo clinic for overcharging for dengue detection tests.
Apollo clinic Viman nagar is over charging for the dengue NS1 antigen tests. They have charged Rs.1300 for dengue tests NS1 Antigen where as the government capped rate for the same is Rs.600.

When we got the bill for the tests we saw the charge as Rs.1300, and had to pay for the same.

On asking them how can they charge a patient above the rate fixed by the govt . They have stated that no such capping exists and that such capping is there only for govt hospitals.
A patient who has been suspected of dengue has no choice left but to pay the extra amount for the test.
We demand a refund of the extra amount charged and proper action be taken against them.

Would request you to look into this.
