Constant uphill battle for payments and refunds!

<p>I will attach all e-mail communications below:</p> <p> </p> <p>Good day,</p> <p><br />Kindly advised as to why a normal gynacaelogical check up was not covered? My savings was not finished in this time period of the appointment/consultation. Also,kindly advise as to why I'm paying so much money every month, and state exactly where my money is going to. Why am I always having such problems with your company even when your t.v. adverts state otherwise? I changed over from Discovery health as I had great service from Bonitas when I was a dependant fora decade+ on my father's medical aid. I was also not fully refunded for my Dr.Anagnastopoulos consultation and waiting to see what drama and excuses your company will give me for Dr.Pearl's visit. The whole of last year I had hell trying to get assistance for my TMJ dysfunction with Dr Antoniades. AmI just paying your company to find loopholes and excuses to not take care of me? I even had to pay my blood tests and Dr visit when I was violently ill and rushed to the N17 hospital... false advertising comes to mind. I feel badly "done in" by a once trusted and good company.</p> <p>Without prejudice or judicial consequence (or prosecution),</p> <p>Taryn Drazek<br />(unavailable telephonically daily from 07:00-15:00)</p> <p>Screenshot_***.png</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><br />Dear Miss Taryn Mariana Drazek,</p> <p>Member Number : ********** 3366 <br />Query Number : 250517Q974JV <br />Query Type : PROCESSED CLAIMS-CLAIM PAYMENT DISCREPANCIES</p> <p>With reference to your query number 250517Q974JV.</p> <p>Kindly supply us with the treatment date of your consultation with the gynaecologist in order for us to review the claim.

Kindly advise as to why i need a specialist referral for a pap-smear and check up? When I was on as a beneficiary of my father on bonitas for 28+ years, and still now at 30years old,when u put me on the medical aid I was and am still a female with female parts. That must get checked up on!

What kind of bull**** story is this now?! I cannot believe how low medical aids stoop for a buck and I pay through my ass for everything in cash?!

And again I’m telling you,

I live at 35 Hills Road Selection Park Springs 1559.

I’m quite sure, I informed you of this when I moved back to my parents as I made a big deal of informing everyone.

Advise me as to how much is being refunded to me re: Dr. Pearl consultation.

Your company’s sloppy service of this year is becoming a daily burden to my life and increasing my stress drastically.
