Manipal Hospital — Huge cost of lab tests

Address:

560037

I was advised by a doctor to do some routine tests, i thought that manipal is near to my office so it would be easier for me. By the way, i am a student and living on a fellowship in bangalore. I did a lft some serum tests and a usg. They billed be ~4k. Since i had no prior knowledge of the rates of these tests i didn't know what was happening. Once done (Ufff!) i went back to my office and checked the cost of same tests (Except usg) from dr. Lal path labs with home sample collection and found that these people have charged me about twice the market rate and an additional 150 for registration.

Government of karnataka should take a serious note of all the complainants mentioned here whether they are pediatric, emergency, or less necessary like my tests. But indeed these people are looting public with both hands. There should be tight regulations by concerned authorities to make sure that hospitals like manipal are regulated. For me, i will never be back to manipal and recommend that no one should ever go there.

Cheaters and fraudsters.
