Bonitas Boncap is bad news

Zero stars !!!!!!! Elderly patient has been a member or years. Paid hundreds of thousands of Rands in contributions. Fell against corner of table on New Years Day. Serious injury, suspecting brain bleed. No answer at Bonitas Call Centre. Taken to casualties. Emergency brain CT done. Blood drawn. Bonitas refuse to settle account for CT scan and bloodworks as this was "outpatient". Even thought THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY - IN HOSPITAL. She did not have a headache or a babalaas and wanted a scan done to alleviate wrinkles. This was an life-threatening emergency. The call centre agents are unsympathic and incompassionate. 9 emails and 7 calls later - still no resolution. Going to social media and everywhere possible until this is resolved.

I do not appreciate your patronising reply. This is the same song sung by your call centre agents. I have spent hours on the phone with Boncap authorisations and claims query departments. I just get put on hold and shuffelled between departments that "will resolve the query and come back to you".

Reference numbers for calls - and these are not all of them.....

She has paid her contributions for more than 20 years.

Must she die because emergency services are not covered???
