ANGELES CITY\u2014Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan on November 21 was called out by the son of a hospital patient for the questionable \u201cemergency fee\u201d being issued from the Renal Care Unit (RCU) of the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC), formerly known as Ospital Ning Angeles (ONA).
\nChris Aquino of Barangay Tabun, whose father is availing regular dialysis treatments from RCU, complained about the P700 worth \u201cemergency fee\u201d being charged to patients who come to the RCU without a scheduled appointment.
\nAquino explained that the service in the RCU is by schedule and patients with scheduled appointments are given slots on a given day. If a patient fails to appear for his scheduled appointment, that patient\u2019s slot can be transferred to a walk-in patient, however, the walk-in patient must pay the \u201cemergency fee\u201d.
\nThe so-called \u201cemergency fee\u201d is reportedly for the overtime pay and transportation allowance of RCU nurses. Patients are not even allowed to sign a promissory note guaranteeing that they will pay the \u201cemergency fee\u201d on a later date.
\nAquino also revealed that the payment for the \u201cemergency fee\u201d is not made through the cashier but through the nurses. Patients are not issued with original receipts for the payment and are only provided with a charge slip that doesn\u2019t even have a control number and was supposedly prepared by someone who signed as \u201cAnne\/KSD\u201d.
\n\u201cAlam naman nila na kung ang pasyente ay pumunta sa ONA, ibig sabihin walang kakayahang magbayad,\u201d Aquino said, \u201cBakit kailangan na ang bayad sa overtime at pamasahe ng mga nurse ay ipa-karga sa mga mahihirap na pasyente?\u201d
\nThe P700 emergency fee, according to Aquino, does not include the P350 doctor\u2019s fee, the P1,200 payment for Renagen (the formula used for kidney detoxification), and the actual payment for the patient\u2019s dialysis session.
\nThe amount charged for dialysis depends on the patient\u2019s classification, Class 1 patients are charged P1,700 while Class 2 patients are charged P1,375. Indigent patients are considered Class 3 patients and are charged P700 for the dialysis session.
\n\u201cLumalabas na ang mga pasyente sa Renal Care Unit ay nagbabayad ng P2,000 hanggang P3,000 kung may appointment at P3,000 hanggang P4,000 naman kung wala,\u201d said Aquino, \u201cSamantalang pangako ni Mayor Pamintuan noong eleksyon na P500 lang ang magiging bayad sa Renal Care Unit\u201d.
\nAquino decided not to reveal his father\u2019s name for fears that his father will be refused service in the hospital if his identity was revealed.<\/p>\n
