khadaffi: Nope, not just government workers. There is a friend who needed to have an expensive surgery at UCH last year. They told us to go and prepare for about a million naira. But someone advised us to register him for NHIS. It took us like almost two months before his registration was completed. We took it down to the hospital for the surgery. The surgery was eventually performed and the total money spent wasn't even up to 60,000NGN. I was shocked! After everything was done. I ran back to NHIS office o also register myself and family but I was told registration has been stopped. Omo the thing pain me die. 4 Likes |

My hospital bill experience.... I was pregnant and had life threatening complications. I was on referral to this big government hospital. I was a bit weak and could barely stand for few minutes. The pregnancy was just a couple of months old, wasn't showing yet. When my family (husband, mum, sister and brother) dropped me at the hospital, they were looking for where to get the card and other stuff but me I walked with the lil strength in me to the emergency section. I handed the referral letter to the nurse on duty, she read and asked me where is the person. I told her it was me. She was shocked and swung into action. She made a bed quickly, made me lie on it, fix the drip and all. Remember, nobody had billed me, I haven't even consulted with any doctor, she also didn't see anybody with me. When my people sorted out the formalities, registration and all, they came to the emergency and saw me already receiving treatment. They said doctors will see me shortly. It was a weekend so we waited a while. The doctors came and their diagnosis? They said my kind of ectopic pregnancy was rare. They'd try two possible options for surgery, if one doesn't work, the other would. The pregnancy had to go. It was painful. I read up their diagnosis on Google, 0.02% of people had ever presented with it. Rare indeed! They booked me for surgery the following day, they didn't ask for Kobo. The surgery was successful but I needed time to recuperate. I was there for another ten days. Each time my husband asked about the bill, they'd say they know we'd pay. I'd laugh inside. What made these people so sure? We did pay eventually. No baby and still had to part with about 200k. I knew I got to heaven's gate and really wanted to enter But I thank God ultimately for life. The beauty of this is the promptness to save life. They didn't place premium on money first, yet it was a government hospital. Before I got admitted there, I knew nobody but the treatment I got was top notch. Lagos Island Maternity!!! 17 Likes 2 Shares |

okooloyun1:Go and build your own hospital and treat people for free. Only if you know how they struggle financially. Health is expensive and individuals can't pay out of pocket, that's what you all don't understand. This is why advanced countries don't joke with insurance 4 Likes |

A total expense of my client at UBTH was approx 1million Naira as he had an accident and needed surgery bla bla the most annoying part is my client has a health insurance policy with Axa Mansard but UBTH said Axa Mansard rarely pay them back therefore my client has to pay first. My client called Axa Mansard staffs and they told him to proceed that he’ll be reimbursed He made payments himself and as soon as he was discharged he contacted Axa Mansard and they told him to forget his money that they won’t reimburse him.. Axa Mansard is a fraudulent insurance company!!! 11 Likes |

CursedNsukka:I asked them what it will cost me from the beginning, they said I shouldn't worry about it. Do they know my pocket on what I could afford. If they had told me from the beginning, I would have walked into another hospital as there are about four of them not that far from each other. I went to a government maternity center for the same issue a year later and I paid N1800. 1 Like |

okooloyun1:I understand you but you clearly stated government hospital. You should do more research on how government hospitals are funded, infact let me tell you they're funded from crude oil sells and not even profit driven, is more like a social welfare. You certainly can't compare this with someone's personal investment, think very well without bias bro. Even you as the hospital owner wont run it as a charity home. |

CursedNsukka:Read my reply very well. I asked them what it will likely cost me, they said I shouldn't worry. Do they know my financial strength on what I could afford to pay? If they had told me and I couldn't afford it, I would have gone to another one on the same street. 3 Likes |

Hospital this days are just to suck you of your funds. Even if you are under HMO , They treat you low and give you cheap and inferior drugs that they know wont cure you and they will forward outrageous bill to your HMO to pay. Now i dont waste time going to hospital. All i do is go to pharmacy and give them my complains to prescribe for me and am good to go. Its more cheaper and less time consuming. 1 Like |
