Painful treatment by clueless Medical scheme

<p>When i joined Momentum they obviously did some underwriting telephonicaly where i advised that i wear prescription glasses. last week i started seeing floaters on my right eye and on Thursday (08/12/16) morning i started seeing a shadow on my vision field which within 3 hours filled about 50% of my eye. the very same day i went to see an optometrist who straight away suspected Retina tear/ ditachment refered me to the Hospital. Long story short, docters in the hospital confirm this as Retina ditachment.</p> <p> </p> <p>An urgent oparation was needed and Momentum says they will not pay for it because i did not diclose that i had "preexisting condition". So they gonna terminate the contract for non disclosure. If Momentum can be clued up that Retina ditachment is a sudden attach and symptoms include sudden onset of blurred vision. There is no way an odinary person or even a GP, can know that you will ditach a retina and you be in a position to 'disclose' it when underwriting.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am still untreated and the state hospitals are absolutely no good. My eye condition is deteriorating per day. I was told by the ophthalmologist that if no oparated immediately i will go blind.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
