Fedhealth not paying

A follow up relating to my previous Fedhealth medical scheme review. Blood tests with Ampath laboratories that were requested by my doctor and a specialist are still rejected by Fedhealth, regardless many complaints and attempts to reverse their inexplicable decision to not pay for any blood tests. The laboratories are now suing and taking legal action against me. These blood tests were done during 2022 and also 2023. I am suffering from diabetes mellites, PTSD depression, lung disease. Also from cardiomegaly and leaking heart valves. Cholesterol and hypertension also prevalent.

I am absolutely convinced that the doctors which requested the tests are not stupid and not unnecessarily decided on certain blood tests. Perhaps they should not do any tests at all and just let me die..!!!! Their is absolutely no sense in paying a medical scheme almost R 5,000 per month and them constantly and as a rule refusing to pay for blood tests. Sounds ridiculous but true.

I am 72 and the only member on this aid. My children are assisting with monthly payments towards my Fedhealth subscription and cannot help preventing me from getting black listed and sued by the laboratories. The situation is for me truly unbearable and adversely affecting my health. Fedhealth have over many years been good to me and an excellent scheme, but now in my old age I am truly neglected. and rejected.

The major part of my monthly chronic meds are also not paid every month. To obtain these meds, we have to pay the pharmacy an additional R 2,400 every month. Also absolutely inexplicable. I am extremely unhappy, depressed and lost and do not know what to do. The total cost for my medical with Fedhelath is costing me as a pensioner and my children currently R 7,300 per month. This is now out of hand and something we cannot afford. I have no other option than to cancel the aid with Fedhealth. That would solve many problems for them and myself. Unfortunately there is no way that I can suggest, promote or advise anyone to opt for Fedhealth medical scheme at all. On the contrary.
