I suffer in pain while waiting
I was on Gems medical aid for many years. After divorce I forced to get a new medical aid . My fiancee put me on his medical Aid \Bestmed\". I was excluded on 3 things. Hernia( mantelvliesbreuk was one . I December I had a terrible pain in my side . Went to doctor he tried to admit me but bestmed said I had to wait 3 months. March the pain was still there getting worst and swelling started. Again the doctor tried to admit me. This time the reception Dineo at life suikerbosrand heidelberg phoned for authorization. She spoke to Mrs Olivier at pre auth. Only code that was written in book was 46.3 which is for hernia hoodia and incorrect. After many phone calls between doctor and bestmed they said it will go to case manager and I will have an answer between 48and 72 hours. The 8th of April was a month . Every week I keep phoning and emailing mrs Natasha Muller but no reply. I will go to Carte Blanch as I am unable to perform my daily duties without pain. Im getting hooked on pain killers. I have done everything that was asked. They now whant to know why codes changed . This was the receptions error my doctor send letters. Please im begging you help im in serious pain."
