Please help me

Could you urgently please assist me since I have had an ongoing battle since March 2021 ? My Momentum membership number is *** My daughter had to undergo a procedure at Milpark Hospital and a pre-authorisation number was received from Momentum Health ( number *** ) - I have proof thereof. Momentum required 2 extra documents after the procedure was done before they would pay Milpark Radiography. This was submitted but no payment was made. I have now received a letter of demand with the final statement costing an extra R114.00. I pay a monthly membership of R13 403.00 to ensure that costs like these are covered an now Momentum is not paying the service provider. I do not know what else to do.

Good morning Debbie

After months of trying the 2 businesses to communicate to one another regarding an approved authorisation I receive the following feedback, as well as our calls requesting only a change in a code :


Dear Mr Fourie(Jnr)

We have received and processed the following claim(s):

Practice Name: DRS SACKS FERREIRA STANOJEVIC SUCH V (Practice No:399973) DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY/NUCLEAR MEDICINE
| Service Date | Patient | Amount Claimed | Momentum Health Rate | Total To Be Paid | Pay To | Pay From
Major Medical
| Pay From Savings | Pay From HealthSaver | Payment Run | Pay code*
2021/03/27 | Cara M | 7245.80 | 7245.80 | 0.00 | Supplier | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 2021/10/29 | 90

*Pay code | Description
| 90 | The claim was not submitted within the 4-month period from date of service and is rejected as stale claim.


How on earth can this be since it was a pre-authorisation that was requested, approved and the communication failed between Momentum and the service deliverer ?
WHY should the patient fight for something that we trust our medical aid to sort out ?
This is not acceptable.

Please call me back urgently on ***.

Theo

Morning Debbie

Thank you for your call last week to confirm you are still investigating the matter.

I have once again received the following from Milpark Radiology indicating no change in the situation :
" Your account *** is 120+ days and has not yet been settled.
This has been handed over for collection.
Please contact us on *** "

This must be sorted before the end of this week.

Please make a decision, and then we will make ours.

Regards
Corné
