Pre-Assessment Request Nightmare
I had initially called on 07/10/2015 to request rates for birth in Jan 2016, I was told that I need to fill out a pre-assessment form and submit this. A few days later, I received an email stating that I cannot get rates for 2016 as this can only be requested in 2016. I then spoke to Catherine who said that she will resubmit my form arrange for 2015 rates to be sent to me. About a day later I received the same response, that I cannot get the rates for 2016. I then called in AGAIN on the 19th and spoke to Lynette who said I should resubmit the pre-assessment form requesting rates for 2015 instead of 2016. I filled the form out again, changed the dates and submitted. On 22/10/2015, I get a third email saying exactly what the first email said!<br> I called in today, spoke to 2 consultants, then to the 'manager' of KeyCare (Thuli) who then transferred me to another 'manager' of the department that deals with the pre-assessment forms. He was the worst of the lot, refusing to assist me, put me on hold while I was still speaking and left me on hold for OVER AN HOUR AND STILL HOLDING!!! I am absolutely disgusted at the service I have received!
Thank you for your comment and I am truly sorry to hear of your experience. We are looking into the matter and will address it with the relevant person. To provide some context to the pre-assessment process, the rates are calculated according to your chosen plan type and the Scheme billing rules. For procedures scheduled in 2016, the rates available are the current for 2015. Although the pre-assessment cannot be used as a guarantee of payment, we want to ensure that the information we provide is accurate.
We are investigating your request and will be in touch with feedback.
