Terrible service! And I just pay pay pay!!!!

<p>To whom its may concern,</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I'm continuously re-submitting my claim from April and June from Dr. Antoniades (Practice number: ********** ) and also now from August. The claim for Dr. Chirstodoulou has also not been refunded to me from March 2016.</p> <p> </p> <p><br />The ICD 10 code is evident on the receipt and have asked on several occasions what Bonitas requires regarding a "motivation letter" etc, with no response STILL to this date! I therefore took the onus upon myself and got a motivation letter FOR you.</p> <p> </p> <p><br />Resolve this matter IMMEDIATELY before I start taking further measures and contact superiors or hellopeter and social media. I moved to this medical aid for BETTER service than discovery. not worse!</p> <p> </p> <p><br />PROCESS MY CLAIM AND PAY ME BACK MY MONEY SINCE MARCH 2016/11 IT IS OCTOBER AND I HAVE CONTACTED YOUR COMPANY REPEATEDLY AND AM SICK OF THIS TERRIBLE SERVICE!! I HAVE BEEN PAYING MY BACKSIDE OFF FOR EVERYTHING AND YOU ARE NOT EVEN HELPING ME!! YOU JUST CLOSE THE INQUIRY RANDOMLY AS IT SUITS YOUR COMPANY!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Respond VIA EMAIL ONLY!</p> <p> </p> <p><br />without prejudice and judicial consequence,</p> <p> </p> <p><br />Taryn Drazek</p>

Good day Refilwe

Your above member, Miss TM Drazek, has been to see Dr. A. Antoniades (PR. ********** ), as stipulated on the invoices sent in to your Claims Dept. According to your response, the Doctor's Practise was not operative.
We would kindly like you to please explain how you came to this assumption? The Doctor pays his annual HPCSA, BHF and PCNS fees. Our other patients do not encounter any problems when claiming.

Thanking you and awaiting your response.

Sincere regards
Mrs. M. Antoniades (for Dr. A. Antoniades)

Hi Taryn, Thank you for your enquiry. We have received feedback from the assessing department regarding your claims sent for reprocessing. Please note that the claims were rejected as you were treated while the practice was not operative. The practice number was not valid and registered for treatment and therefore all claims submitted to the medical aid would be rejected.

From Bonitas Facebook messenger:

Hi Taryn,

Thank you for the message from Mrs. M. Antoniades.

We can confirm that this is a system rejection that we are receiving when trying to process the claim. If Mrs. M. Antoniades can provide us with a membership number of Bonitas that claims are processing and paying, we will investigate and correct accordingly.

My response:

Exactly... So the problem is Bonitas's system! Not with any other medical aid, nor the Dr (technically professor) nor is it me. Please provide me with a direct e-mail and telephone number to refer to Mrs Antoniades. She has tried repeatedly to phone Bonitas and this is how eventually I had to go to hellopeter and Facebook to get some kind of answer
