The kidney-shaped bed pan costs RM16 while a pack of sanitary pads costs RM15.50. These were among the items that were struck off the bill after the insurance company went through the charges one by one. The doctor gave the go-ahead to check out at 10am but we left the hospital only five hours later.
The conversation going on in the waiting room revolved around how careful the bills were being checked. Someone asked if this was indicative of the lack of trust between hospitals and insurance companies. The process is much faster if one has a company guarantee letter. If you pay by credit card or cash, it is a breeze.
