Inconsiderate

Accepted pre authorization for some hospitalization then later rejected laparoscopy. when you ask the reason they just say no codes were given when they clearly said they don't cover it. They don't even answer customer calls. Waited for almost an hour for an operator.that time I'm booked for theater today with no outcome or way forward. Medical aid wanted motivation which was given by the practitioner but served no purpose.
