Retrenchment no changing of package aloud

Very disappointed in Medihelp. Been a member since 2001. Medihelp have a policy that you can not change your package during the year. I was retrenched only this YEAR after the cut of date for changing packages. How should i have known in 2020 that the company will retrench us in 2021 because of the impact COVID had. I had to resign from medihelp and fill in forms for new membership AND i am on a 3 month waiting period again. Like seriously. I have been a member since 2001. Why can they just not change my package and i keep my membership number as is. This is so ridiculous . We are 4 people in our company that was retrenched THIS YEAR. We all had to resign from medihelp just to fill in papers again for new membership, and all 4 of us is on a 3 month waiting basis . Think twice before deciding on Medihelp.

Amanda phoned me, explained to me that they are only doing what they are told to do, they are not making the rules which i understand. She made 1 or 2 suggestions to me of which i am not happy with. She said she will speak to the head of her department and get back to me.

Amanda phoned me back again. Told me that medihelp still refuse my request because i did not change my package in last year. Like what the hell... how should i have know last year that i will be retrenched this year. If i could see into the future i would not have been in this situation. Told her clearly she can not help me, she must get someone else to phone me. And i want it in writing why medihelp is refusing my request of package changing.
