Re: Jan Palfijn Hospital Bill

[Guest guest]

Hello Belgium Surfacehippies,

Just received my insurance document from Jan Palfijn Hospital for my BHR

implant. It is six pages, both sides, and appears to be in Flemish with the

exception of the last page which is in English.

It states, " We sincerely regret not to be able to send you an invoice in your

language at the moment. We hope this translation list will help you to fully

understand the bill. " Dozens of words are translated into English on this

final page.

Is this what it means to have our hospital bill translated to English? ...or

can Hugo provide us with an actual full translation. Does anyone know if Blue

Cross would accept this.

Thanks Much!

Hi Jim,

It definitely sounds like a very good strategy to follow. At the very least

may also win the hearts of my insurance administrators as they see how

conscientious I have become. (smile) Less work for them. Thank you for your

suggestion.

Hi ,

I had my right hip resurfaced on 3/3/04 by the Good Doctor. On his last

visit at the Holiday Inn he said that his arrangement with Jan Palfijn

Hospital includes their providing the hospital bill in English. If they

sent the bill in Flemish, he said to e-mail him directly and he would get on

their case! I've not received a bill yet, but maybe next month, judging by

the timeframe of yours.
