Bonitas Medical Fund is all for the money and not for the health and well being of the people.

Bonitas Medical Fund is all for the money and not for the health and well being of the people. I have severe chronic reflux where I am on double dose of 40mg Trustan. When I was diagnosed with Chronic reflux, I had a very difficult time where my quality of life was basically ZERO. I was constantly sick and used 3 years of sick leave in 6 months. Every 1 to 2 weeks I would try different PPI medication I lost 25kg in 3 months. I went to hospital for all different kinds of tests. I struggled with chest pains where I keep on thinking I am getting a heart attack. headaches, nausea, dizziness, depression, joint pains, weight loss. I had no will and no ambition for life. I did not want to see people or do anything at all. I took massive strain on my life and my family and work. It was 6-7 month of HELL in the end it was the PPI medication that was making me sick and was the cause of destroying my quality of life. Nexium was the medication that worked the best with me. Because the medication was so expensive, we Took the Trustan as it is a Clone of Nexium. All my history and what I have cone trough was sent to Bonita’s medical Air in 2017 to approve for Trustan to be supp**** to me on my chronic medication fund. It was approved and my quality of life after 1 year was almost back to normal. I could have not been happier and so was my family. Now 3 and a half years later Bonita’s medical aid does not what to supply me the Trustan anymore and want me to now take other generic medication just to save a measly R125 and the cost of my health and quality of life. Note that I have 4 times app**** for this and supp**** them all info including my hole story of what I have gone through. I even got motivation letter from my Dr. and still they don’t want to they want me to now chance the meds and for me now to go through HELL again that cost me more again every time I go to the Dr. or hospital and on top of this be at risk of getting Covid 19, because when I do get sick I will have to go to Dr. and hospital where Covid 19 patients are situated. Not to say that every time I must go to the hospital, I have to do a covid 19 test and pay for it from my own pocket. But the real funny part is I Get R11 000 a year for my chronic medication that I Pay for every month at R3300 and my current chronic medication is only R9720 per year. I also believe once you are diagnosed with a chronic condition and they find the medication that works for you. Why would they now want to change it to save money. They must only save money to give you new medication that are proven to work better that what you are currently using. You don’t get better from a chronic condition you get worse over time. It is ether your condition that worsens, or the medication makes you sick and destroys your body over time I am so beaten down from fighting with Bonitas over R125 that they want to save even thou I have enough chroming medicine fund to pay for it I will now use my voice to be heard across south Africa and find people that are going trough the same struggles as me for the wrong reasons. For Money instead of Life The medical system sell you medical aid by saying how the will help you and that they care about you and your well being but once you pay your 1st month its just another Lei all together/ Anyone that would like to share tier story with me to fight the battle together please email me on ***
