AMPATH - ****MERS IN ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT

Generating ****/false statements and asking for payments with threats to hand over to debt collectors. No previous notifications provided but out of the blue an email is sent of balance outstanding that was paid my the medical aid. They did the same with covid testing were PCR tests were paid in cash and they sent invoices demanding payment.

Thanks for your reply, please read the review carefully and you should figure out that its your accounts department. Ref. No X***.
Seems others have similar experiences and your accounts department is commiting an offence with incorrect accounting.

Your team member contacted me saying that the medical aid reversed the payment so now I owe, this happened in April. Medical aid didnt inform me of this and took ampath almost 7 months to realize this. There is something fishy happening. Lancet is the way to go.

Hi Alvin. We understand that the advice regarding reversal of the partial payment by the medical aid was only received on 31 October 2023. Please do check in with the medical aid on your side and let us know.

Can you explain why after almost 7 months, medihelp has reversed the payment from your acount. How is this allowed? It was not in a few days or weeks but months. You should have let them handle this debt rather that allowing the payments to be reversed and now you claiming from me. Sort this out with the medical aid provider, they made an error, its not the cleints fault (me). Medical care in the country is scary with companies like yours doing wierd claims.
