Extremely poor service from both Bankmed and Clicks Pharmacy. On 21 August, I went to Clicks Pharmacy to obtain a device for my gynaecologist appointment. Clicks advised that my medical aid would not cover it and insisted I pay cash. I contacted Bankmed, who confirmed that it is covered. I returned to Clicks and waited over an hour while they tried to obtain the correct codes. The staff member assisting me was rude, unprofessional and continued insisting that I pay cash. With my appointment approaching, I had no choice but to pay. I submitted my invoice to Bankmed immediately. Since then, I have repeatedly been told they are trying to obtain the correct codes from Clicks. Over a month later, there is still no resolution or meaningful progress. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of accountability and poor service from both parties. I should not have had to pay out of pocket for a benefit that Bankmed confirmed is covered, nor should I still be chasing a resolution weeks later.

Pathetic service from the clicks pharmacy garden city and bankmed

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.

We note that our team has previously requested an amended account from Netcare Garden City Pharmacy on two separate occasions; however, we have not yet received the required documentation.

We also advised you via email that we had attempted to contact the pharmacy directly regarding this matter. In addition, we made a further attempt to reach them today but unfortunately were unable to get through.

As a result, we have sent another email to the pharmacy requesting the amended account and are awaiting their response.

We are only able to assist further once the account has been received. 🙏

We attempted to contact you; however, the call went to voicemail. We also made a further attempt to contact the provider, but were unfortunately unsuccessful. We will continue following up and provide you with an update as soon as we have received feedback. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Simone, we have successfully made contact with the hospital pharmacy and spoke with Kinelo. We requested an amended account and provided our email address for submission.

Once the amended account has been received, we will arrange for the claim to be reprocessed accordingly and will provide you with an update on the outcome.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We wish you a lovely day further.
