Good day

Thank you for bringing your concerns regarding your unpaid account to our attention. 

Kindly be advised that when the pathology claims were initially processed, your maternity benefits had not yet been activated. The claim was therefore settled from the pathology out-of-hospital benefit, which was exhausted. 

While most of the hospital account received was approved and processed with the claims run of 14 December 2018, additional clinical information was required for full payment. The required information has now been provided and an additional amount of R1,584.60 was processed and settled with the claims run on 28 December 2018.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by the delay. 

Kind regards
