Medication prescribed by doctors not paid,

I had a bad experience, i took a medical insurance with Getsavvi after seen them on TV, however when ever my Mum visits a doctor, the Doctor will prescrible for her medications and the medical insurance will say who do not cover for that medication, even for a generic medication of that presciption is not covered by the medical insurance such as Calcium (WHY) which was prescibed by the doctor that my Mum was seeing. I called them to cancel, i was told that they need to speak with my Mum it was me who took the policy for my Mum and she cannot speak English, i need to cancel this thing as early yesterday already. Why dont you pay basic medication mara??!!, Dispesing Doctors gives you a five days (5) medication, and the rest you have to buy yourself and they only give you Panado, and other stong pain killers, which has nothing to do with the condition that my Mum has.

Kindly note, according to our records the most recent GP consultation for Miss Mahole was on the 13 July 2022 and a scripting GP was used whereafter a prescription was provided. We can confirm the scripted medication is inline with the treatment of Arthritis which is a chronic condition.

The Acute Medication formulary covers a large number of medication covering a wide range of patients needs, this however does not provide cover for the treatment of chronic conditions and therefore the medication was not covered, this includes the Calcium supplement needed as this is not an everyday Calcium supplement.

We can confirm that we managed to consult with Miss Mahole to confirm and process the cancellation request.

We trust you find the above in order.
