Hi all,

First of all, my dad went to this private hospital after he fainted. Hospital did covid19 test on him as per follow SOP all patient admitted hospital have to undergo the covid19 test.

after my dad discharged from the hospital, hospital charged my dad RM 908 + for the covid19 test. i was shocked TWICE! after looking at the amount of the covid19 test. * my dad claim insurance one so this test arent covered by INSURANCE so we have to bear the charges under personal payment!

i ask them why is this so expensive? they said they literally did the test in Operation Theather. and the description of covid19 test (face shield, facemask, apron, gloves, goggle) .
Are they violating the covid19 test charges? can i sue the hospital? Hospital refused to give me the billings and they hold my deposit for close to almost 3 weeks! i havent pay them yet because i say this is too high!
*
Could you ask them for the price for each individual items ? Last time the surgical mask made headline when it was sold by one health care facility with Marked up price at rm11.50 per pieces
