Despicable Bankmed!!!

I recently joined Bankmed. A month after I joined the medical aid I added my son as a beneficiary, or so I thought. I filled in all the necessary documents and emailed them the necessary supporting documentation i.e. birth certificate, affidavit, etc. I was then told that he would start benefiting from December 2015. A couple of weeks later the medical aid card arrived with my son added as a beneficiary. I then received a new medical card as Bankmed was now being administered by Discovery, to my shock and surprise my son was not on the card as a beneficiary. I called Bankmed on 5 Feb 2016 to ask what was happening to which I was apologised to and was assured that he would be added in the next 2-3 days. Yesterday on 19 Feb 2016 I called Bankmed again to find out if he had been finally added, my call was transferred 3 times, I was kept on hold for over 5 minutes after which I was hung up on without getting answers. I called for the 2nd time and again to my shock and bitter surprise, I was told that he had still not been added onto the medical aid. I'm angry, disappointed and hurt by the disgusting service I've received from Bankmed.

Hello Pali86,

Thank you for your comment.

We're truly sorry to hear of the frustration you have experienced with adding your son onto your membership. We've confirmed that he has been added to your new policy from the date of commencement. We have sent the query through to the previous administrators to ensure that he was added last year to your previous policy as well. They'll be in contact with feedback.

Please do not hesitate to contact us on 0800 BANKMED (***3) or email *** should you require any further assistance.
