Medihelp has no sense of urgency for an EMERGENCY SURGERY

***

I have been admitted into hospital since Wednesday the 02-09-2020. I have been informed that I am in need of an EMERGENCY SURGERY to prevent irreversible damage to my sight.

I have since yesterday been sending through requests and motivations from the Drs only to have NO feedback or Authorisation for surgery to take place today at 1pm. It is now the 11th hour, 12pm Friday 04-09-2020

I have been told that I must await feedback for authorisation or I will be liable for all the costs.

This is not just any procedure which can wait. This procedure is an emergency to prevent further irreversible damage to my eye sight.

The fact that Medihelp doesn't see the urgency in this matter is disgusting and unprofessional. I am not happy with the response and urgency that Medihelp is taking this matter in.

Actually if you read the member number given, this is referring to my mothers account and current situation. However if it satisfies you I will sign her up to Hello peter.
