Health insurance patient rejected<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
At 11 p.m. on June 12, I took my wife, who was about to give
\nbirth, to Mekar Sari Hospital, Bekasi, as referred by my family
\ndoctor, only to be told to return the next day, even though I was
\nrelying on my health insurance (Askes).<\/p>\n
Probably because of the third-class facilities covered by my
\nAskes, we were told to go home because, according to hospital
\npersonnel, the patient could undergo stress if left too long
\nbefore delivery.<\/p>\n
Why wasn't my wife allowed a third-class room, as stipulated
\nin the insurance scheme? I decided, therefore, to rush her to a
\nmidwife in Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta, where our baby was born
\nsafely the next morning at 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
The question remains about how far PT Askes and Mekar Sari
\nHospital are responsible for this service failure. Although I am
\na low-ranking employee, I hope the relevant authorities will
\nclarify this matter.<\/p>\n
