Accept members without proper advice

I added a member to my portfolio and got the medical card back with the new member added WITHOUT any waiting period. When we wanted to book a procedure at Pretoria East Hospital Bestmed came back with millions of questions, reports they all of a sudden need, waiting periods, etc. At no stage during the adding of a member we were given advice of the procedures before they can authorise a procedure. I wonder what the Ombudsman will say about giving proper advice when adding a member?
