Questions
What hospitals ask
How are nights charged when a patient moves bed?
Each midnight is charged to the bed the patient was in that night, at that night’s rate.
What if the deposit is more than the bill?
The rest is given back, receipt by receipt, and not a taka more. The ledger balances at every step.
When does the deposit SMS go?
When the deposit falls below the limit the hospital set, or when the desk sends it.
