U 1st day in sg? Everything here is all about money. Anything else pls siamThat’s exactly what I did just five minutes ago. I just don’t understand why the hospital needs to be so extreme as to engage a law firm to chase a patient over a $154 bill. It’s not even $1,540 or $15,400, for heaven’s sake. Where’s the compassion?
Exactly. Spreading fake news that hospital sent lawyer letter while they have unpaid bill is ridiculous. Seek help if you need but don’t ignore or worse, go to forum and make it seem like hospital is at fault. Then some ignorant anti pap m**on would jump in to attack the govt.
TTSH sent me a lawyer’s letter regarding unpaid bills. I was admitted to A&E for lacerations and had already completed the CPF form authorizing TTSH to deduct the bill from my Medisave. Before sending the form, I even called the hospital to confirm the correct mailing address.”![]()
So guys, please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not intentionally avoiding this $154 bill. I tried to use my Medisave to pay it, not realizing at the time that it wasn’t allowed. After all, this was my first A&E visit and hospital trip ever, and yes, I probably should have called the hospital to confirm before assuming I could use my Medisave.
yes, if really no money they will proly get some charity to help out. only bank chut lawyah letter
Imo public hospitals exercise compassion on patients' bills especially if the amount isn't much. They will never 趕盡殺絕. Hospitals and doctors pirority is to save lives, not chase for bills
