Lab charges on blood transfusion should be fixed
THE warning served by the Ministry of Health to private hospitals not to exploit the minister’s decree on imposition of charges for undergoing surgeries and admission to hospitals was timely.
Private hospitals have raised the charges of blood units and components to the patients, who are in need of blood transfusion. This was made following complaints put forward by the affected patients, and received by the ministry.
Though Dh400 was fixed as the charge for one blood unit, the ministry has given private hospitals a free hand to add the charge of lab diagnoses and tests to find out the consonance between the patient’s blood and the blood unit.
The other problem is that there are some private hospitals, who exaggerate in assessing the charges of lab tests. Due to such assessment, the value of the bill payable by the patient will increase in the end.
Therefore, is it possible for the Ministry to fix the charges of the lab tests regarding the blood units and circulate the same to everybody?
