Operation has to be cancelled

<p>I have been waitng for authorisation since 12 Oct 2016 for an operation that is scheduled for today, 17 October 2017. Since I have not received authorisation, the operation has to be cancelled. Do these people realise how much pain and suffering they are causing ? I depended on you !!!</p>

Good day,

It has been confirmed with our hospital department (MSO-Medical Services Organisation) that the medical advisor has not approved this authorisation as he has instructed MSO to arrange a consultation for the member with the Back Clinic. The consultation has been scheduled for the 20/10/2016 at 9.30am. MSO did advise the member at about 2.30pm yesterday afternoon. Depending on the outcome of this consultation, the authorisation will be reviewed.

We trust you find the above in order.

Yours sincerely,

Medshield
