WORST/NO BILLING SYSTEM: Paarl Hospital and VeriCred

Paarl hospital sends patients home without advising or giving a bill, no indication of what is owed to the hospital, nor discuss payment options. The patient is under the impression that the Government has paid the bill and returns home to fully recover.

After a few weeks, VeriCred comes out of nowhere with demand for payments for bills that the patient NEVER received or was notified!! VERICRED keeps on harassing you for at least a year afterwards by phone calls and SMS's, with almost no way to contact them to sort the issue out. AFTER ALL BILLS HAVE BEEN PAID THEY STILL HARASS YOU! Sometimes even with another patient's details....

Paarl Hospital should issue bills to patients when they are released so that they can make arrangements to settle their accounts. VERICRED should not threaten people to be black listed on the first attempt of contact!! You make patients feel like ********* without knowing what bills they owed to who, or in what account to pay the money!!

WORST BILLING SYSTEM/SERVICE EVER.
