BONITAS MEDICAL FUND CAPITALIST

Firstly don't be fooled by the nice 5 star reviews on Hello Peter by people who say Bonitas Medical Fund gave good service. I will agree their service and response is good but is that what you really need when you in a medical emergency. Let me tell you why bonitas gets a 1 star from me. I have been with them for probably last 4 to 5 years. This year all my benefits for General practitioners and Specialists are finished. You know why. Because Bonitas in their educated surveys they said they did found it OK to allocate only R4500 for 3 people for both General Practitioners and Specialist visits. So Bonitas thought it good to combine General Practitioners and Specialist visits for R4500. Let's do the math's. No GP charges less than R500 and no specialist charges less than R1500. So I saw a specialist once and my child saw a specialist once. That means R3000 off from this R4500. That leaves you with R1500 to use at GP which means about 3 visits or if you dare to do a follow up to the specialist than go once. Bonitas has become the capitalist of the medical industry. Worst is they put their premiums up in April 2023. Let's do more maths.Altogether we pay R5000 per month for this medical aid. If I was to take out a hospital plan for emergencies it would cost R2000 max per month. R3000 saved per month I can have R36000 for GP and Specialist. That is 24 specialist vista. Or 70 GP visits. Who is robbing who here. I can't wait for NHI to put companies like Bonitas out of business. I just feel for the people working there trying to sell this over the hill medical aid to poor unsuspecting customers. BOTTOM LINE, STAY AWAY FROM BONITAS, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE A SINKING SHIP. RATHER LOOK AT DISCOVERY AND SIZWE. BUT BONITAS. AS SOON AS I HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE I'M LEAVING THIS SHIP AND RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES IN THE SHARK INVESTED WATER. GOODBYE BONITAS I WILL ATTEND YOUR FUNERAL.
