Hospital asking entire bill amount in cash after Cashless Insurance claim
3 years ago
I had a treatment in a hospital claiming cashless insurance facility in Aug 2019. At that time, i got entire approval from insurance, and I had paid all the balances and cleared all dues and got discharged. After 1 year now, hospital is saying that Insurance company cancelled the claim and want me to pay back entire amount in cash to hospital directly. I am checking currently with insurance, but it seems like hospital had sent wrong documents/data while finalising insurance, and since it got messed up, they are asking me to pay up. Please guide.
A.Dear Sir,
You may approach insurance ombudsman and get insured amount and pay the same to the Hospital.
Rate me Five Star *
