This is the complaint about unethical treatment & overcharging with unwanted lab test & other medicines @ Vikram Hospital Bangalore.
My Dad was taken to emergency section of the hospital due the High fever & Cough with mucus. Examining of Patient started with blood test & physical check by duty doctor @ emergency.
Treatment stared by giving with Paracetamol & other injections to relief the patient with fever. Later after 90 mins in emergency ward the reports came in & findings were normal but Doctors insisted us to stay admitted to cure the infection @ lungs so called (Lower Respiratory Tract infection)
We have agreed to go as per Doctors advise & treat my Dad until the fever gets cures completely. Within 1 day of admission to the hospital additional pathology tests were conducted with blood, Electrocardiogram, Culture Sensitivity test & X-rays to make the final bill of laboratory leveling to Rs.9,000/-
None of the report shows any degree of risk or patient is in adorn to infection but my Dad stays at hospital for 1 day & 16 hrs before getting discharged. This hospital charged me to treat Fever & cough with Rs.25,000/- which is something loot in day light.
And I have come across the Bed & Nursing charges differ from the Insurance paid patient with Cash paying one. Insured Patient has to pay lesser by Rs 600 than cash paying patients. I’m not getting the logic behind this calculation.
Over all this Hospital has losses the charm of its statement line “Humble, Humane & Honest”. Totally not satisfied by the service & treatment procedure of the hospital.
Dear Readers please be careful of this Hospital for overcharging & unwanted tests conducted to increase the overall Bill.
