Bonitas Medical Aid not for me ever again!

The worst medical aid ever you better off without them!!! Refusing to pay for a pathology test that is clearly written on the request note by a doctor requesting the test!! Make sure your doctor only ticks on the blocks or they won't pay for the test if written in the other box provided in the bottom right corner. Don't know why that box is there because if the doctor uses it Bonitas will reject saying test not requested .... serioulsy?????

Goodbye Bonitas and back to Discovery that have never refused any of my claims in the 18 years I was with them prior to this pathetic Bonitas .... Hello Discovery!

Thank you for your response saying the matter will be resolved however it's not. Bonitas responded and said they would be paying the claim on 31/1/19 ref ********** 1. Ampath to date have not received this money R1146.40 (I checked this morning again) ????? 2 weeks later its the 14/2/19. When I queried the payment this week, Bonitas say I can't query it i need to give the reference number 120219Q7VNL6 to Ampath so they can waste their valuable time phoning you and asking where the payment is!!! Seriously?? Do you think its Ampath's duty to chase your accounts as to where the payment is? The other 3 tests with the code 3948 that were rejected firstly because you say they were not requested by the doctor have not been settled. I was then told to get motivational letter which I got a busy doctor to take time out of this day to give me a letter and the claim is still rejected! Are you saying Ampath charge for things they shouldn't charge for and I should take the matter up with them? What must one do to get this account resolved once and for all this is becoming time consuming and highly annoying!!
