Bonita Boncap took contribution but terminates membership after that, is this a *****ulent act by the so called medical aid giant.

In December 2024, just after my monthly contribution was deducted, Bonita, my so called medical aid terminated my membership. I resigned but only effective the 31st of December 2024. The premature termination cost me, a diabetic to be with out medication or any access to obtain medication. I believe this was *****ulent behavior on the medical aids part. I contacted them through out December however they insisted I was active. When I tried to get my medication as I only just started or was suppose to start with insulin, that did not materialize as I was no longer active. I tried explaining this to the call center agents, but they were hopeless, unhelpful and just to put it plainly ***********. My blood sugar levels varied between 18 and 25. The doctor helped me with medication as an emergency measure. Bonita failed me as a member. They make ads about how they care, but it's just a lie. They took my monthly contribution and terminated my membership, left me with the claims for the doctor and the diabetic nurse. Who must pay these claims I ask? I was send a remittance advice, all claims for December not paid, so how could I have been active if all these claims rejected? I want answers on this and I want it resolved. I want my diabetic benefits that I was trying so hard to get given to me or else pay back my monthly contribution that was deducted before I was terminated. Secondly, a new company called PHA took over on the Boncap option I was on, it has been almost 3 months they are struggling to reimburse a member claim. This is the most *********** company I came across yet. They have titles like Client Service Specialist, I have no clue what they specialize in as it is not customer service. They advised my claim was paid on the 8th of December 2024, send me a remittance advice, however I never received any reimbur*****t in my bank account and I have my bank records to show this. I will take this further if I have to as no one has taken any responsibility for this, all they do is shift blame and lie.

I will put them in the newspaper and on all media platforms to expose what they have to me and the hell I was put through due to their incompetence.

I appreciate you looking into this matter, I was very frustrated about how the situation was handled and how I was treated. Furthermore my health deteriorated due to the lack of service I was in titled to but denied. I hope that that matter will also be looked upon as you have jeopardized my health in the worst way possible by withholding a diabetic from his medication.

I thought I will give Bonita the benefit of the doubt that they will actually come clean and do the right thing, however they do what they really do well, make excuses and do not take accountability. So I am forced to take this further, take it to different platforms and I will take this to court if I have to. But they will tell the truth. I was terminated before the time, they took my monthly contribution and I was without benefits. A diabetic with out medication and the benefits was denied.

That is a lie, they have not been trying to contact me, my phone is by my side all day long. How do you trust in companies that lie so much. How can it be resolved if I have not been paid for my member claim? I cannot believe companies are so *********. The worst service, but they have the best lies and lack of accountability

If there is nothing to hide, why are they avoiding me? They lie and say they have tried to contact me several times, however my phone never rang once, so who is lieing and being ********* here? This was a simple matter that this company complicated due to incompetence and it still continues, nothing is resolved. Put the email on here with my permission given, as I did not receive the email correspondence. If I do not get this resolved I will take the next step and I promise I will not stop till this matter is resolved to my satisfaction, that means my money paid to me in my bank account.
