Poor Service

Poor Response.

I joined Affinity Health in March 2024. Affinity Health did not request my GP billing history to ascertain any pre-exisiting conditions which would require a 12 month waiting period.

In July 2024 when I requested hospital authorization for a tonsillectomy for my 5yr old, the claim was denied saying that this is a pre-exisiting condition. This rejection came after a week of unqualified call centre agents requesting one document per day. A viral infection cannot be deemed a pre-existing condition. I have since cancelled my membership
