Poor Hospital Authorisation

On the 1st of December 2018 my son was admitted in Hospital AND I was told to call Medshield Hospital Authorisation and the call center was closed because they don't operate on weekends and I had to call on Monday. On Monday 3rd December 2018 I tried to call the ********** for Hospital Authorisation number which I never received till today.

This line keeps cutting the calls and it’s difficult to get through for assistance.

This is an inconvenience on our side as customers as we end up not getting assistance.

This is one the poorest authorization system!

Good day,

 With reference to your enquiry regarding: 131218Q54KJD
 Membership number: *** As discussed telephonically , please be advised that the authorization for the 01- 03/12/2018 , Femina Clinic, dependent Lesego William-Jnr has been loaded and approved. Please note that the hospital case manager has to contact the Hospital Benefits Management to update the authorization date as you have advised us that the child was discharged on the 05/12/2018. We trust you find the above in order.

Yours sincerely,
 Medshield
