SUPPLIER'S RESPONSE Essential Med Time and Date 16:37:05 | Thu 15 Sep 11
Hello jumari21,

We have already replied to this complaint on this public platform.

As indicated previously, our application form includes a section on medical history where you are required to disclose medical conditions or procedures that you have undergone, some of which may be classified as pre-existing conditions - this is standard practice in the medical industry. Unfortunately, as you failed to disclose a previous operation for the same condition, this is deemed to be a pre-existing condition and you are not entitled to any benefits under that condition. Your claim was thus repudiated.

One of our Claims Department personnel will be in contact with your shortly to provide you with a report from the relevant medical practitioner confirming the above.

Kind regards

Lee Rodgers
Operations manager
CUSTOMER'S FEEDBACK jumari21 Time and Date 07:20:45 | Tue 27 Mar 12
Utterly Disgusted: Lee Rodgers,
You dont even have a clue that the Original MAIN MEMBER had NO pre existing conditions - the Authorization was given for an operation to a member and NOT the MAin Member. WE ARE PROCEEDING WITH LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ESSENTIAL MED and we ensure that every stop and obstacle will be removed to ensure ESSENTIAL MED's compliance - you tickled the feathers of the wrong bird
