Netcare
Hospital charges almost R40k 1hr op & 1night

5 weeks ago I have a bunion surgery performed at Rosebank Hopsital. Firstly I only received my bill today, 5 weeks later, after telling them I need the bill to try and claim from my medical insurance. Insurance needs the bill within 30 days so bad mark one for Rosebank hospital not caring whether I get paid or not. Then, to my SHOCK the bill is for almost R39000. For 68 minutes of theatre time and a 1 night stay. I was charged R19500 for 3 screws and 2 staples. Hospitals answer on the price "we have to buy them out". I am a private patient with no medical aid. I want to know what someone with a medical aid would have been charged. I also want to know where the staples come from and how much they cost if I were to go and buy them myself. Someone needs to justify the charges.
