Runny Chairunisya
Aug 4, 2024
I called and made an appoinment to visit the Obgyn department on 3rd August 2024 but when I came for the check up the front desk lady told me that they no longer receive any foreigner with insurance eventho I currently still have an active private insurance and I have an actuve family resident permit. She told me if I want to continue with the check up I have to pay around 5 thousand liras. I went to many private hospitals in Istanbul and NEVER experiened such treatment and my insurance was always accepted with no problem. The front deks lady at the Obgyn department also told me that this is the latest regulation of the Turkish government, but then my Turkish husband called both our insurance company and Turkish health ministry department and they told us there is NO such regulation and requested us to file a complain for the unpleasant treatment. Anyway, I went to another bigger private hospital that day and they accepted my insurance with no problem and I finally got my pregnancy check up properly. Dear Medicana hospital if your intention is to rip off foreigners money you better come clean. We dont pay a huge amount of money every month to our private insurance for nothing.
