LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH OF CONTRACT IN THE PAYMENT OF HOSPITAL FEES BY PATIENTS

Oloan Tp Lingga

Abstract


The legal relation between a patient and a hospital fundamentally arises from a healthcare service agreement that creates rights and obligations for the parties involved. One of the patient’s obligations under such an agreement is to make payment for the medical services that they received. In practice, breaches of contract frequently occur in the form of delayed or non-payment of hospital fees by patients. This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of default in the payment of hospital expenses by patients from the perspective of Indonesian civil law. The research employs a normative legal method, using both a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The findings indicate that default in the payment of hospital fees gives rise to legal consequences in the form of an obligation to compensate for damages, fulfillment of the outstanding performance, and the possibility of a civil lawsuit filed by the hospital, provided that such measures do not contravene humanitarian principles and the prevailing laws and regulations in the healthcare sector.
