Suspected ***** But Bonitas does not even reply

Good day

This is not the first time this happened and I had communicated before and even tried to get assistance on Hellopeter about three times, but never get feedback.

The first Time I noticed that a claim was submitted for me getting treatment at a doctor in White River - where I never was before and didn't se that doctor ever.

I tried to get your assistance in finding out what is happening and you, regrettably ignored my concerns completely.

Today I received an email (sew attached screenshot) that a claim of over R500 was submitted for me at Mopani pharmacy in White River. I was not in White River today or even this month, nor did I definitely not make any claims for any medication.

Strange enough that when I try to claim at Clicks pharmacy in the town I live (not White River), I am told I reached my limit.

But still somehow claims are approved on my name in another town at pharmacies and doctors I never went to?

Something wrong here. And Bonitas is not at all interested in assisting me.

After three attempts on Hellopeter I just get the same generic reply every time:

Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention - we will give you feedback.... Etc etc.

But I do NOT get feedback or any response or communication whatsoever.

I now want to contact the ombudsman. Can you please provide the contact details?

And in the meantime doctors and pharmacies get paid for services rendered to me which I never got or claimed for.

See attachment - theres two claims and on one I'm the patient:

12 May 2026 - Patient: Jacobus Myburgh - Service provider - Mopanie Pharmacy - That was NOT me.

Just like a few months ago I was apparently at a Dr van Wyk in White River as the patient and a claim was approved on my name for treatment I didn't receive.

Bonitas just doesn't give a ding about this.

Refer me to someone who could actually help and assist me, and provided the ombudsman details.

Kind regards JJ Myburgh

Reviewer Update
Good day.
Thanks for the action taken.

I have been contacted by my ex spouse and told the pharmacy and dr in question contacted her about Bonitas investigating the matter.

It seems apparently the doctor (van Wyk) as well as the pharmacy (Mopani) both somehow mistakenly claimed on my name for getting treatment in stead of the other member who actually was the patient. This explains why I was indicated as a patient who got treatment with this doctor. I suspect only human error on the side and not deliberate.

They said they woud rectify it asap.
Hopefully this will not happen again.
