Horrible customer service from Bankmed

In December 2022, a dependent on my medical aid needed to see a specialist. I called Bankmed to find out if they would cover the full cost, and the agent I spoke to confirmed that Bankmed would pay out the full amount provided I had funds in my MSA, which I did have. The consultation happened, and I logged the claim, only for Bankmed to pay a small % of the cost. When I called in January 2023 to enquire, I was told that the agent I initially spoke to misled me and that the matter would be logged as an ops loss because the fault was with Bankmed (provided inaccurate information) and that I would be refunded the full amount I paid the specialist as a result. What has followed since is nothing short of a prime example of ********** customer service, ranging from agents to managers promising they will follow up and update me and then not calling back, to a manager telling me that they are waiting for someone to send an email to approve (for over a month). Since January, I have called Bankmed more than 30 times, but the problem has not been solved. The agents and managers make promises to provide feedback and then simply don't.

Hello Bankmed, it has been over a month since I submitted this review, and into the fourth month since I submitted the claim in question, yet this issue is still not resolved and absolutely no one from Bankmed has contacted me since this review was submitted. Really appalling and disgusting service.
