Penalty

I app**** for medical aid with them. I was on medical aid for over 30 years when they phone me this morning to say I need to pay a penalty for late join medical aid. Is this a new scheme to make money out of our customers or what.

Reviewer Update
One of the ladies just phone me and tell me I will not badmouth Key health because of the way they treat customers. Is this how you treat someone who try to join a medical aid. I'm so disgusted in her actions that is unacceptable the way she treated me over the phone. What a shame....
