Netcare Hospital (Head Office) has no heart when it comes to refunding people their hard-earned money for hospitalisation

I paid a guarantee of R115k on 18/12/21 to get my mother-in-law admitted at Netcare Krugersdorp for a serious illness. She was discharged on 20/12/21. I filled the refund form personally on 21/12/21 and to date I have not received my refund of about R98k. I spoke to Nkosinathi and Goitsemang (Manager in their refund section) on 29/12/21 and provided them with an official confirmation of my bank details. Today, it is 5/1/22 and I have not been refunded. I must say that Netcare requires a cleared guarantee of R115k immediately before admission and they don’t ask for a letter confirming your bank details, but when they have to process your refund, they ask for a letter confirming your bank details; in fact they would hold-on to your money until you provide a confirmation letter even when you have processed the initial EFT from the same account. After I provided them with all they wanted, I am still waiting for my money.

I am still waiting for my refund of about R98k, since 21/12/2021 when I filled what they refer to as credit balance refund request form. They (Netcare) won’t even keep you posted of progress with your refund, you have to just wait for an undefined period not linked to any standard or turn-around time. Something I find bizarre and unfair.
