Limbaži Hospital Temporarily May Be Unable to Accept Health Insurance Policies as Payment
Patients at Limbaži Hospital may currently be unable to pay with a health insurance policy, because insurers have suspended automatic settlement systems amid announced cyberattacks. Patients must pay themselves and can seek reimbursement from their insurer.
Patients at Limbaži Hospital in Latvia may currently be unable to settle their bills using a health insurance policy. The reason is that insurance companies have temporarily suspended their automatic payment settlement systems in connection with announced cyberattacks. As a result, visitors to the medical facility may have to cover the cost of services out of their own pocket.
No restoration date yet
The hospital says it is not yet known when the insurers' systems will be working again. Until then, paying with a policy may not be available.
What patients should do
If settlement with a particular insurer is not possible, the patient must pay for the service received. The hospital asks people to keep the payment receipt and submit it to their insurance company, so the expenses can be reimbursed in line with the terms of the policy.
The hospital's notice apologises for the inconvenience and thanks patients for their understanding. The available information does not say which insurance companies are affected or when the situation might return to normal, so it may be worth checking before a visit whether settlement with your insurer is currently available.
