Bonitas refuses claim with no reason

Bonitas refuses to pay for an injection that I need in my pregnancy. My blood group is negative and thus I need an Rhesugam anti D injection which was prescribed by my doctor in 2 doses due to the possibility of my baby being a positive blood group and my body rejecting the baby's blood, its it medically NECESSARY! Bonitas covered the cost of the 1st injection, but have put an exclusion on the 2nd dose which nobody can give me an explanation for. I called in twice and spent 18 mins on the first call and over 30 mins on the second call with no resolution. The agent told me to tell the doctor to call in, which the doctors office said they dont deal with individual claims (understandable, otherwise they would be inundated with these claims!) The call center agents are clueless and not helpful at all as I spend most of my time listening to the music in the background!

Can someone call me back urgently as I need to administer this injection before 37 weeks passes in my pregnancy.

I am STILL waiting, gosh Bonitas this is really terrible service. I was told there was a 7 day investigation time frame, which has passed. I guess you have to many bad reveiws to tackle daily from disgruntled customers to even care about individual care anymore.

The agent eventually assigned to this issue has been very helpful, Bonitas should value employees like her. Her name is Lammetjie Mthetwa. Thank you!
