Momentum charges for their free services. Don't even consider Momentum health for a medical aid, you will regret it.

On Wed 03 May, for the very time, I used the Hello Doctor service that I saw on the app. Firstly it states quite clearly that this is a free service. I requested a call back and a Dr LeAnn called me back. I explained my daughter's symptoms, this is a problem I have dealt with before and am awaiting our specialists appointment. I was astounded at how rude and condescending this woman was saying that my child should be taken to a Dr, if it were her child she would be at the Dr already making me sound like a bad mother. Why the hell do they have this service. I had to then ask her if I was speaking to a Dr? She also mentioned that this was a free service, but also went on explaining 'examples' and not a list as she stated of what she cannot assist with. This call alone made me want to change medical aid immediately. I now see that she charged me R180 which I see is the price of a video consult. This did not take place, this was a phone call, how is this a free service, the Dr even mentioning this is a free service only to charge the day after? How can yours Dr charge for a free service? I have also sent a complaint to the ombudsman, that is how tired I am of Momentum. Not one person at Momentum takes their clients seriously. Could someone please assist me in the process of cancelling my medical aid!

Reviewer Update
Today is 11 May 2022, 5 days after this complaint was posted. The money this Dr charged for a 'free service' has gone into her account, I AM STILL WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM MOMENTUM. The only part that is normal here is the NO ASSISTANCE from Momentum, this is expected. Not one person to get back to me. Close this company down or sell it!
