Apollo Hospital Bill Pdf Download

[Jude Hargrave]

It's been two years since the death of former Chief Minister J Jayalalitha, but it now seems that an outstanding amount of Rs 44 lakh is still pending to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai. Though the AIADMK has claimed that around Rs 6 crore was paid with funds from its treasury, a new submission from the hospital to the Arumughasamy commission says the bill hasn't been settled fully.

According to a bill summary submitted by the hospital, the total cost of the treatment and other services is Rs 6.86 crore, but so far only Rs 6.41 crore has been paid, and an outstanding amount of Rs 44 lakh is pending. The bill for health care services alone is Rs 1.92 crore. Of this, the hospital has charged a consultation fee of Rs 71 lakh. Usage of equipment, such as ventilators, infusion pump and syringe pump has been billed at Rs 7.10 lakh, while medicines from the ward pharmacy cost Rs 38 lakh. The room has been billed at Rs 24 lakh. Under professional charges, the hospital has charged Rs 92 lakh for services from London-based Dr Richard Beale, who was flown in for treatment. Singapore hospital Mount Elizabeth has meanwhile been paid more than Rs 12 lakh.

From the documents that TNM accessed from the Commission, it is clear that almost Rs 2 crore of the total bill was not used directly for Jayalalithaa's treatement or care, but instead was spent for others. In a section titled 'Room rent/Food and Beverages/Engineering service,' the hospital has stated that room rent came up to Rs 1.24 crores (an additional amount from the earlier mentioned Rs 24 lakh). This according to Apollo's submission was the rent for rooms booked for Jayalalithaa's attenders, party leaders, government staff and others. During the 75 days of her hospitalisation, the AIADMK had booked around 14 rooms, including in the luxury ward and the CCU. And these rooms were occupied for 60-75 days.

It is the food and beverage services billed for Rs 1.17 crore that has caught everyone's eye. This however was not just food for the late Chief Minister, but for others as well. The break up shows that Rs 48 lakh was spent on providing food and refreshments to the media posted outside the hospital. The hospital had to also provide food for police personnel, attenders and escorts. The food bill of Secretaries and other government staff ran to Rs 19 lakh, while the bill for attenders and others in the party was Rs 17 lakh.

The treatment of J Jayalalithaa at the Apollo hospital in Chennai in 2016 cost Rs. 6.85 crore, according to a bill that has gone viral on social media. The former Tamil Nadu chief minister was in hospital for nearly three months until her death on December 5 that year.

"Food and beverage services" cost Rs. 1.17 crore, according to the one-page summary that has a detailed break-up. The bill was in the documents submitted recently to a panel investigating the circumstances leading to Jayalalithaa's death.

"The bill summary is not a complete factual reflection of all the details because the details were produced in more than 200 pages. We are surprised and shocked that a confidential document, which was submitted to the commission on November 27, is out in the open," hospital counsel Maimoona Badsha told Press Trust of India.

The break-up shows a Rs. 71 lakh "consultation fee".

UK-based doctor Richard Beale was paid Rs. 92 lakh and a Singapore-based hospital received Rs. 1.29 crore for professional charges. The room rent was Rs. 1.24 crore, but includes several rooms used by the politician's attendants.

If you have been in the hospital, you will receive a bill listing the charges. Hospital bills can be complex and confusing. While it may seem hard to do, you should look closely at the bill and ask questions if you see something you do not understand.

The recently enacted No Surprises Medical Billing Act establishes new rules to help protect people in job-related and individual health plans from having to pay surprise bills for emergency care, non-emergency care from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance services from out-of-network providers.

A hospital bill will list the major charges from your visit. It lists the services you received (such as procedures and tests), as well as medicines and supplies. Most of time, you will get a separate bill for health care provider fees. It is a good idea to ask for a more detailed hospital bill with all of the charges described separately. That can help you make sure the bill is correct.

If you had surgery or another procedure, it helps to know whether your hospital charged a fair price. There are some websites you can use to help you find this information. They use national databases of billed medical services. You enter the name of the procedure and your zip code to find an average or estimated price in your area.

If you do not understand a charge on your bill, many hospitals have financial counselors to help you with your bill. They can help explain the bill in clear language. If you find a mistake, ask the billing department to correct the error. Keep a record of the date and time you called, the name of the person you spoke to, and what you were told.

If you find an error and do not feel you are getting the help you need, consider hiring a medical-billing advocate. Advocates charge an hourly fee or a percentage of the amount of money you save as a result of their review.

According to the reports, out of the 6.85 crores, Rs 44 lakh is yet to be paid to the hospital by the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). The party had announced that it would bear the bills and not the state government.

The bill shows more than Rs 1 crore was spent on food and beverages. Rs 24 lakh was spent on rent for the rooms and Rs 1.9 crore for health care services.
