REQUESTING URGENT FEEDBACK FROM MEDIHELP RE ***

<p>On the 30th of November 2016 I telephonically informed Medihelp that I will be cancelling my medical aid membership with them and that I will be changing to new medical aid in January 2017. the lady (Mariette) that I spoke to then informed me that I will need to complete a cancellation form and send it back and that another payment (the last one) will go off my account for December at the beginning of January 2017. On 5 December 2016 I emailed the completed form to cancel my medical aid with Medihelp to ********** on 31/12/2016.</p> <p> </p> <p>HOWEVER another payment to Medihelp went off my account at beginnign of February 2017??? When I eventually got through to Medihelp's call centre they informed me that they did not receive my email on 5 December? I then resent the form again on 2 February and received an sms to say that my medical aid with Medihelp is cancelled from 1 February and ANOTHER payment will go off my account at end of February????? I then phoned the call centre again and spoke to Jerome who asked me to send the mail that I sent on 5 December to him. I did that and resent it again to ********** <p>I am still waiting for feedback from Medihelp??</p> <p> </p> <p>MEDIHELP AS I REQUESTED IN DECEMBER 2016, CANCEL MY MEDICAL AID POLICY WITH YOU ON 31 DECEMBER 2016 AND PAY THE MONEY THAT YOU TOOK FROM MY ACCOUNT BACK TO ME URGENTLY?</p> <p> </p> <p>I have been a member of a new medical aid since 1 January 2017</p> <p> </p> <p>Nolene Maree</p> <p> ********** </p>

Dear nlmaree

Since Medihelp’s Rules specify that the voluntary termination of membership must be requested in advance in writing, we unfortunately cannot terminate a member’s membership when a telephone enquiry is received. Mrs du Toit therefore requested you on 30 November 2016 to submit a written request for the termination of your membership.

As discussed during our telephone conversations with you on 8 February 2017, we cannot find any record of your email dated 5 December 2016 or our automatic reply of the same date, acknowledging receipt thereof. To enable us to investigate the matter you must please provide Medihelp with your email of 5 December as an attachment, or alternatively the automatic reply sent to you.

Kind regards

Medihelp Customer Care
