Key Health *******ion

Terrible experience with Key Health.

At the end of last year, my father, a pensioner, was assisted by a Key Health consultant during his signup process. The consultant advised him not to disclose certain medical conditions from more than five years ago. Recently, my father had to undergo a procedure to remove kidney stones, but Key Health raised issues with covering the costs due to this non-disclosure.

Despite hundreds of calls and mounting frustration, Key Health claims the calls between my father and their consultant are now missing. Now, they want to cancel his membership altogether. This is particularly unfair as my father has been paying his medical aid for 38 years without missing a payment. Because of this, he now has to risk his life with a government hospital for a procedure to remove a stent that was placed during the kidney stones surgery.

It seems the call recordings only benefit the company and conveniently go "missing" when they could reveal errors on their part. Absolutely appalling.

Let's resolve the issue on a public platform instead as we have tried numerous times contacting Key Health each time with no results.

As usual, no feedback. Instead the executive committee decided to cancel my father’s membership. He currently has no medical aid and will also have trouble getting accepted by another medical aid due to Key Health not wanting to listen to the recording where their consultant initially advising him not to disclose certain medical conditions. I will keep this post updated
