Very, very disgruntled with service received

I am writing this review today to hopefully reach people who think, like I did, that Clientele is so wonderful. I have a hospital policy whereby they pay me for the days spent in hospital to help with funds for the days that I wasn't working. I've had this policy since 2008. There was a claim in 2018 where the incorrect amount was paid out and I, as the client, had to fight, lodge complaints and show them that they were in the wrong! Eventually they paid me the full amount. Now again - I was hospitalized and things didn't go according to plan and I ended up staying much longer than anticipated. I now sit with the same scenario as before with the incorrect amount paid out and I again have to fight, lodge complaints and show them they are in the wrong. You can't even speak to the people you're supposed to speak to! Is this really HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS AND TAKE THEIR MONEY??
