Dad discharged from hosp

Dad discharged from hosp on 22nd jan at 5pm. The function of hospital administration is not satisfactory. They took around 5hrs to finalize bill and prepare discharge summary. There are typos in the summary and it is very short. There is no proper process and trianed staff causes communication problems. However liason officer..Sai prasad.. did thorough follow up on insurance stuff. There are so many faults in the hosp administration. I suggested few in feedback. I think there is so much much commercial business in claiming insurances. For insurance patient all charges are relatively high. All docs also like that. It seems they will have target on income on monthly basis. Every thing is with MONEY. Think about poor man...god change this system...thanks to my medical insurance company for co-payment of 35k. For me it s 8.5k. I think medical insurance is must for family in the current life style.

fourth day on dialysis

Doc given nod for discharge today after checking the reports. Next dialysis is on monday/wednesday/friday. Thrice for week. The pre authorization approvals for 40k was received yesterday itself. Today final billing will be ready by discharge time likely at around 3pm. No dialysis today. It is always better to carry photo id. Since dad did not carried any id the insurance process begin after receiving his id a scanned copy sent by cousin from bvrt yesterday. Dad also has to change his life style. He need some physical activity and some change in routine to avoid sleep in day time. Also he should follow doc instructoins about food and smoking. Educated him about his health condition and consequences.. still i have doubt whether he is realized. Let s see...
