Utterly the worst

Utterly the worst medical aid in SA We have been waiting for over 5days now for a approval for a scope that needs to be done. I call daily for updates and keep getting told that they will look at it when they get to it. Today I called to get a update 27.02.2025 at 13h40 I was told they will be looking at it this afternoon. We will have a reply Friday.

I don't know why we pay over R6000 a month for useless medical aid. We have used you 3 times in the year we been with you and the 1 time you would not even cover the cost. We have no exclusion on our cover. I even pay move to use any hospital as it hard to get to the ones you say we need to use.

I am over this Medical aid think it time for a name change as you are not the best.

So you say in your reply "Please note that the outcome of your hospital pre-authorization request has been sent to your registered email address." Will I have yet to receive anything so more broken promise again.

Dear Stephanie Massey

 We apologize for the delay in getting back to you. The feedback was originally intended to be sent yesterday; however, the medical advisors needed to re-evaluate the request with the authorization team. As a result, the email will be sent to  you later today.

Thank you for your understanding, and we are sorry again for the delay.
 Best regards
 GM

So yet again broken promise of a email. The last time I got a email from Bestmed was 19 Feb 2025. My partner even looked at her emails there is nothing.

So we are now sitting on the 04 March 2025, been trying to get a reply from you from 20 Feb 2025 to 04 March 2025 and still have not gotten the email the was promise to me or even a call back from a supervisor or manger like I have asked over the last 10 call I have made.

One call I was told the reason no one is helping me is my account is blocked. Then when I talk to the membership department they tell me no my account is fully activet and that they have even gotten March 2025 payment.

So. I would like someone to call me and tell me what is going on and why I am not getting to service I should be getting from BESTMED that I pay for.

I would like some answers in the next day.
