No feedback and still given a run around on outstanding hospital claim
I was admitted in hospital on 18/02/2026. Bankmed short paid one of a claim that was supposed to fall under hospitalization. I contacted the scheme to enquire and I was asked to send a casualty report which I submitted on 06 March. On 09/03 I received response and a turn around time of 2 to 3 working days was provided for me to receive feedback but that did not happen. Seeing that there is no feedback on 22/03, I sent an email to follow because the service provider has now handed my account for collections but today the 23rd the scheme responded requesting another document which was not mentioned at the beginning and worse after even taking two weeks of not getting back to me. I feel like I am given a run around and this is totally unacceptable because the service provider has now handed me for collection for an amount that was supposed to have been paid by now.
