Promises to pay do not materialize
I wrote a review last week with regards to Medhshield's handling of PMB claims. My father was hospitalized and so many of his hospital claims were not paid in full even though the condition was classified as PMB. They got back to me via email and said that all of his claims during the hospitalization will be paid out.
I received two calls today demanding money:
1) Lancet labs called saying my dad's hospital bill on 27 September was not paid in full, there is an amount outstanding as Medshield only partially paid it.
Further to this they informed me that my dad went for his periodic blood tests on 14 November 2018 and that account wasn't paid at all due to availability of funds. I called CMS today and they informed me that those blood tests done on the 14th also need to be paid out, as they are required for his survival and part of the treatment of his PMB conditions. He is severely diabetic, an amputee, blind and does not hear properly. They also told me that I should give the scheme the opportunity to pay, if they continue to refuse, then I should lay an official complaint with CMS. Medshield must pay BOTH these outstanding LANCET blood tests, failing which, I will have no option but to do as advised.
2) I keep receiving accounts from Dr Monteith Nay Wells and Herman Inc for an account that Meshield promised to sort out, as it was done during my father's admission on 26.09.2018. These accounts are now 2 months old, medshield has said to me in writing that all accounts pertaining to that admission will be paid in full, but still I am being plagued by these people?
