Delayed Payout from Claims

I am absolutely fed up with the service I have received from Bankmed over the past 6 months. Being pregnant and then having my baby I have submitted many claims and honestly, I've had to query or follow up on every one. There is no communication back from Bankmed about what is happening until I phone them and then there is always an excuse regarding systems or backlog or motivations that I need to submit but I am NEVER told about these. There is apparently no one I can escalate complaints to and am told to just email the enquiries email address and when I do i get a generic response which never sorts out the matter. My last incident was me enquiring about a claim I submitted on the 20th January. The consultant, Chelsea promised she would phone me back with feedback in the next 1 - 2 working days. I am still waiting for that call. She also told me that claim would be prioritised. Today i phoned back to enquire and was told that the claim would be processed by Friday the 19th. If this is a prioritised claim and it takes two weeks for processing after i query nevermind actual pay out, I would not like to know how normal claims are dealt.

Hello AmyLuus,

Thank you for your comment.

We've tried to contact you however you were unable to take our calls. A detailed voice message was left by Chelsea regarding the matter. We've confirmed that these claims are still pending due to the fact that we are in the process of implementing the funding for this specific benefit onto the system. The expected resolution date is 23 February 2016. The claims will then be reprocessed and funded as normal.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused by this matter.

You are more than welcome to contact us on 0800 BANKMED (***3) or email *** should you require any further assistance.

Regards
Bankmed Servicing
