Horrible medical aid

Bankmed is the most useful medical aid. They approved me for a procedure in an October and now when it's time to pay the doctors they are telling me the the pre-authorization declined due to the procedure being an excluded benefit . How? When I have an approval letter after my Dr wrote a motivation. Do not join these horrible medical aid . It's expensive , terrible benefits and just poor administrative service

Hi Ayanda, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be to have an approval letter and then be advised that the procedure is excluded when the claims are processed.
We are reviewing your concerns and are investigating the matter. We’ll provide feedback as soon as possible. ❤️

Hi Ayanda, we tried calling you with no success. We've noticed that the hospital case managers made updates to the authorisation, which triggered an automatic decline. We've referred the updated information for review and will provide feedback as soon as we receive it. 😊

If the hospital authorisation has been approved then why are dr’s invoices still not paid and being rejected if the procedure was approved ?. I just cannot with the incompetence of bankmed
