Disappointing service
I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction with the service provided by Bestmed.
On June 18th, 2023, my fiancée joined my membership with high hopes for comprehensive healthcare coverage. However, our experience has been marred by significant setbacks and frustrations.
On July 31st, she visited the doctor due to irregular spotting, only to discover that she was 11 weeks pregnant. This revelation came as a surprise, considering she had experienced her normal menstrual cycle at the end of May and light bleeding in June. Which didn't come as a concern at the time, as it has happened before.
Initially, Bestmed covered the first consultation, but subsequent claims were inexplicably denied. Despite multiple attempts to understand the situation, we were met with vague explanations and contradictory information. The absence of a late joiner fee or clear communication about exclusions and waiting periods only added to our confusion and frustration.
Upon further inquiry, we were informed that the denial was due to discrepancies in the doctor's report, which failed to mention crucial details about my fiancée's previous cycles. Determined to rectify the situation, we promptly provided corrected information to Bestmed on January 10th, expecting a timely resolution.
However, the promised turnaround time of 3-5 working days was extended to 10-15 days without prior notice. Despite numerous follow-ups, including escalation to a medical advisor, we received no satisfactory response by January 26th.
As the due date of our baby approached, I personally reached out to Bestmed on January 29th, seeking clarity and resolution. To my dismay, I was met with unhelpful responses and a threat to terminate our membership if further inquiries were made.
It is deeply disappointing to pay for a service that fails to deliver when needed the most. I strongly caution others against choosing Bestmed, as our experience has left us not only frustrated but with a heap of debt.
In light of these events, I urge Bestmed to re-evaluate its policies and practices to ensure that members receive the support and coverage they deserve. Until then, I am left with no choice but to reconsider my affiliation with Bestmed.
We sincerely apologize for the treatment you experienced with our service.
I have escalated your complaint to our non-disclosure committee, and we will provide you with feedback once finalized.
