Worst medical aid. Stay far away. They dont help and dont pay

Worst medical aid ever. STAY AWAY. As soon as you need help they decline left right and centre. Diagnoses Encephalitis. Neurologist want to do a Lunbar Punch and gets declined. THIS IS WHY I HAVE A MEDICAL AID IN CASES LIKE THIS AND THEN YOU DECLINE. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL****TERS. NEVER CLAIM AND JUST TAKE MY MONEY AND DECILNE WHEN HELP IS NEEDED. YOU ARE USELESS

PLEASE SAY FAR AWAY FROM BESTMED
