I recently received authorization to obtain a Nebuliser from the pharmacy for my daughter. After going to the pharmacy i was told there is a co payment to be paid. This is paid from an appliance benefit. Now my thinking the co-payment is due to the pharmacy charging over medical aid rate but it was found that it is a Network pharmacy that should be charging medical aid rates. I then call and spoke to a team leader by the name of Joyce Phiri. Yesterday it was confirm that they had reduced the amount to pay at the scheme tariff. when arriving at Dischem they had not processed the same equipment that was quoted. So they allowed a different product to be processed without the members consent. Is this even allowed? Should i need to take this further with the council of medical scheme and see what they have to say about what has been done. I now tried to get hold of the above mention team leader but like always when things go wrong they are in a meeting. When will this scheme get it's act together and supply correct information.

So a person by the name of Solakhe Nobama contacted me on 04/09/2019 advised they wanted see what was discussed between Joyce and the Pharmacy. Once that is complete he will call me back. It is now the 06/09/2019 and still waiting for that call. Call in the call centre and was on hold for 17 min trying to get through Solakhe with no success. How pathetic is this escalation process along with the poor customer service.

Still this case as not been resolved. I see that Bonitas is unable to resolve the issue. Due to them having issues with their network pharmacy. I will be escalating this query to the council of medical schemes. Kindly provide formal feedback so this can be escalated.
