Worst medical aid

I am very frustrated with Bonitas, firstly I took my son to have his MENACTRA 0.5ML VIAL injection and because it was private and not government it was deducted from my savings and I had to pay in. I complained however they keep telling me because I am on bonfit it is correct. that is not true. when I look at the baby and mom preventative care pamphlet it clear stipulates that the vaccinations come from a different benefit to the savings and nowhere does it state that is only government. I want that money reimbursed or I will take you to the ombudsman even though its R900+- Secondly, I pay my bonitas every month and you guys decided to suspend my account in May due to my payment not being received. Even though I pay every month without fail. thirdly because you moved to momentum I have yet to receive my monthly statement for May so I can claim from Gap cover for my incident on the 15th May. Lastly, I tried to get my Yaz and because the old codes were cancelled and new ones hadn't yet been activated, I had to pay from my own pocket, and Now I need to claim and guess what my claims are not on my hubbies' profile. I have had enough with this medical aid, and we will be leaving once this year is up!!!!

My mother is in pain and because you guys have changed administrators she cannot get authorisation. what is going on!!! Please give me a call with a resolution. the team is clearly not giving you feedback and I am going to contact your CEO next and beg for help because your complaints team I can see cannot handle all the complaints and obtain solutions.
