Bestmed medical aid does not cover 100% of hospital cover

Mri scan non payment/co payment

When i took this medical aid the hospital cover was 100 percent on everything and that what was explained to me.

I am on bestmed medical aid beat 2 and my wife had a medical issue and they found a small tumor on the brain. So we come to Durban for her to be admitted and she needs an MRI Scan and BestMed says i must pay for this, when i asked the bestmed representative about any payments for hospital cover she said its 100% covered, no one mentioned co payment, now i cant afford the MRI and my wife is now home just cause of an expensive medical aid that i pay for but cant help me.

Bestmed replys to my email, see there email at the end of this, below is my reply to them No I dont find this feedback useful, i was not shown a brochure i was shown a piece of photocopy that showed me how much i pay with the number of beneficiary. My question to the lady that sold me this terrible medical aid, said there is no payments for hospital cover its 100% covered, not 90% covered but 100 I dont want to see your brochure now after 6 months, makes no difference But i pray and hope nothing happens to my wife as i will sue this medical aid. Dear Mr I Moodley Thank you so much for your e-mail of 19 March 2019. I welcome the opportunity to be of service to you and to respond as follows to your query: Kindly note that on Beat 2, there is a co-payment of R3440.00 for specialised radiology or an endoscopic investigation done in-hospital. Please note that this is also stated on our brochures. I have attached the 2019 brochure for you reference. Please refer to page 3 of the brochure under co-payments. I trust you will find this feedback useful. If, however, you need more information, or support from our Client Relations Communication Team, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Your wellbeing, as a valued client of the Scheme, is important to all of us at Bestmed. With kind regards Avela Ndayi CLIENT RELATIONS OFFICER: CORRESPONDENCE CLIENT SERVICES
