***** claim- No Chronic Medication - Again

Once again it has happened.

Every time I renew my 6month script there is delay.

I have not decided to submit my new script this time round and would rather pay a Co payment thatn deal with delays and inadequacies from Marara.

To my surprise, I went to take my new script to the pharmacy to get my Asthma medication, only for the pharmacist to say that there has already been a claim for August.

Shocking.

Marara submitted a claim for my chronic medicine and did not fulfill the script.

I now contact bonitas, they tell me it has escalated and will take 3 to 5 working days.

How does a Asthmatic patient survive 5 working days without their chronic medication, how would they breathe, especially in this weather.

I know ask you Bonitas. Is this the level of service.

For *****ulent claims to just be made and for your paying member to feel the brunt and have to run around.

I need this claim revered tomorrow for the latest so that I can go get my chronic medication at the pharmacy tomorrow.

Please assist.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Below you may see communication from your advisors to me.

I have sent the request to our claims department under reference number 140825Q2YJ68 to have the claim reversed. The turnaround time is 3-5 working days. I am unable to reverse the claim on my end.

This is totally unacceptable. I am a chronic patient that drastically requires medicaction.

I need all services with Marara canceled, claim reversed, and for me to go to a pharmacy to fill my chronic med script.

Please contact me as a matter of urgency.

Useless.

I now bought R100 to phone Marara.

I am still on hold.

They emailed pharamcicist and I am waiting to speak to pharmacist so they can cancel.

They tell me they put the claim in but didn't have stock.

Why put a claim in with no new script and with no stock.

This is ***** and blatant disregard for the patient health.

I need my medicine tonight, I am struggling to breathe.

What is going on with this medical aid. What happens if I get seriously ill now.

This is people's lives you dealing with!!!

I need a call back from senior management and to have this sorted, I need to go get my meds tonight
