Now, also just another number.

A very kind consultant who could assist with my queries. I am however, sad to say that after a membership of almost 20 years, Bonitas has let me down tremendously. I can apparently no long get treatment at the same hospital and rheumatologist I have been seeing for years because Bonitas decided in January this year that the Netcare hospital Jakaranda, will no longer be a network hospital. I was actually prompted by the agent to get a new rheumatologist at a different hospital. Shocking that Bonitas is not aware that a person can wait for an appointment at a new rheumatologist between 6 to 24 months!!! I am a single parent. Bonitas takes more than one third of my salary each month. Do you not realize that if I can no longer work due to the symptoms of my condition, I can no longer afford your medical aid? Do you not think that I would like to have a better quality of life? Do you not think that I would like to be on the correct medication? Instead of having to endure unrelenting pain and debilitating side effects? Words fail me to describe my disappointment.
