Late joint penalty fee
I recently joined Bonitas medical aid and already they are ripping me off already, let alone just to get hold of them it is mission and you cant get answers from them. I need to understand the ****ery late join penalty fee ,what the **** is this????? i resigned from Discovery last year Dec, and i needed to give Discovery 1month. I am covered with Discovery until end of Jan, to be covered with Bonitas effective 1st of February. What the ****, hell charging me late join penalty fee? what am i late with??????? honestly speaking i swear i will withdraw, already bad reputation as a new member. Your administration/management is very very poor. I curse the day i wanted to join you

09 Feb 2023, 09:27I phoned your call centre and spoke to Jocelyn this morning she is saying you are charging me late joint penalty fee because i was out of medical aid from July 2020 until November 2021, for heavens sake i was retrenched because of covid-19. I didnt plan to be retrenched and be out of medical aid it can happen to all of us. Why your competitor Discovery didn't penalize me when i rejoined in 2021???? i swear i curse the day i had to look at Bonitas to try and save the costs. I sincerely encourage you to waive this 5 % late joint penalty fee, failure to do so i will take you to medical ombudsman.
