Nice going Bonitas make up your minds

In Nov 2018 I received a call from Bonitas that I will have to change from Bon Classic to Bon Comprehensive however I'm allowed to apply from ex gratia and the are extending my exciting service till 30 March 2019 giving me time to apply for ex gratia. Which was approved. However in March I received sms that state Bonitas will only pay R4582.07 ( this mean I will have to pay R3054.72 out of my pocket) reason is sited that I am om a specialist drug and my option (that was extended ) does not cover me . After 3 calls having ask the same question why was ex gratia approved if I don't receive my medication I was finally inform I will receive my Chronic medication.

with the last month delivery that had to be made there was no problem. So when I received a email a request for payment has been made I took nothing will go wrong this month. Hold and behold Saturday morning I receive a sms Bonitas will only pay R4582.07 Today their excuse changed, As I am not making use of pharmacy direct I have make a co payment of R3054.72. Note I was never informed that I will also have to change from my current pharmacy to pharmacy Direct.

Note the so called specialist drug is part of a PMB, its also a entry level medication and yet I must go on the highest plan to get medication. Is medical aid still worth having or can I just get hospital plan. BONITAS what do you have to say for yourself , are you enjoying stressing your clients
