Hi,
My father was admitted in a hospital, at the time of discharge they have given bill of 96,217 of which 91,217 was settled by insurance and rest 5000 I paid.But for final settlement they sent bill of 99,115 (I was not aware about this till the time I asked to refund my deposit of 5,000) to insurance company ,they settled 90,655.Now difference of 3400 is being demanded from me by hospital. They have haken 5000 as a deposit.I am planning to go to consumer court. What all formalities I need to do?Is taking deposit for cashless claim legal? Shouldn't I was notified when they were sending higher bill to insurance company?
Generating another bill and sending without my consent was OK with them? Please suggest.
Regards,
Nilesh
