Abstract

The sharp increase in the number of dialysis centres, especially in urban areas, proves the urgent need for institutions that carry out dialysis treatment operations effectively for patients. Furthermore, the sophistication of the new modern equipment used increases the confidence of patients to receive treatment at certain dialysis centres. However, payment conflicts arise throughout the operation of dialysis centres that invite the risk of default if not controlled. This study will identify payment conflicts that exist throughout the operation of the dialysis centre and make judgments according to Islamic law. Therefore, qualitative research is applied through the results of interviews with the parties involved and library studies on survey studies employed by scholars. The results of the study found that payment conflicts throughout dialysis treatment operations in the Johor Bahru district of Johor can be divided into two categories: false payment claims and increased cost of treatment session payments. Therefore, this study suggests that monitoring from the authorities should be carried out regularly according to a periodic schedule and increased awareness of the parties responsible for the operation of dialysis treatment to ensure that any violations in the payment aspect can be best controlled.
