A.Dear Client,
In the case when the patient is covered under health insurance, the treating hospital sends all the medical treatment papers to the Insurance Company for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred for the treatment of the patient along with the discharge certificate. A copy of the Discharge Certificate is given to the patient on discharge from the hospital showing the treatment given and the advice to be followed on discharge by the patient. But on demand from the patient or his/her relatives, the hospital is dutybound to provide a copy of medical bills. On denial by the Hospital, you may file a complaint against the hospital to the District Chief Medical Officer of Health(CMOH) who is the licensing authority under the state-specific Clinical Establishment Act for redressal of your grievance.

A.Dear client,

It is the duty of the hospital to provide you with the hospital bills for the treatment you went through. This would qualify as medical negligence which states that :
Negligence is referred to as acting below the norms of a reasonably competent medical professional at the time.

You may file a complaint against the hospital through dialing 104 or can refer to any police station or district collector.

Thank you
