Bonitas not worried about members health

Ive been a Bonitas member for many many year now. Im on Bonitas Standard plan. I went in this year February for emergency hernia repair,when discharge from Hospital the surgeon recommended that I need to have a waist band to support my recovery from Hernia repair to avoid complications. I received a visit from a company in Hospital supplying this waist band that surgeon recommended. Now after being Discharge and motivational letter given to medical aid for the waist band Bonitas comes back saying its an exclusion and Im now liable to pay Henk Human Inc the money for the band. Im not even given a proper answer on why is it rejected Im only told that Bonitas medical experts say it was not needed for the waist band. Now my question comes back to them why would a surgeon after a operation recommend something and give motivation letter but your medical team says its not needed. Based on what do they say I didn't need the band for support after my operation. Or must one rather take the risk in the future not take anything that a doctor recommends and hope nothing happens or you get any compilations that will take you back into surgery. Or is Bonitas fine with putting their members health at risk to safe R1900.

Very disappointed 😞
