Hospital plan does not cover all hospital procedures - Money hungry medical aid

I logged a complaint last week, feedback was promised when on this platform and assurance that it will get looked into. However, it seems those were all lies. Still not even one call since lodging the complaint. Utter disgusting service received, you do not value your members, it's all about how much money the member can pay. A hospital plan that doesn't pay for all hospital procedures

With reference to the attached.
Kindly be advised that the requested treatment is not covered on your chosen option (Bonitas BonEssential).
Please note that the request has been sent to our clinical team for review, the treatment is deemed clinically appropriate however, the request remains declined as the chosen option does not make provision for the treatment to be done in hospital.
DENIS in no way disputes the requested treatment however, benefits are funded according to scheme rules and managed care protocols.
