VERY BAD/ GREADY MEDICAL AID (POLMED)

I am writing this complaint to anyone who can assist. I am a single parent who is really struggling to raise my kids and have managed to have them covered o medical aid for years without complaint. I have visited my HR office and was told that since 2020 my premium have drastically changed from +-R600 to +-R1600 and surprisingly jst jump to +- R4000 in April 2021. I then tried to use whats to get clarity from Polmed but could not get the OTP and then ultimately got stuck without talking to consultant. I called then the consultant told me I did not send proof that my kids are still at school and usually I would hear people saying their kids are blocked/ terminated from using medical aid funds but with my case I got a surprise that I owe Polmed. I then sent the form termiation of dependants because I really cannot afford this and what is bad even more Polmed doesnt try other avenues to get hold of members when there is an issue. I really need urgent attention to this matter as I dont even have transport money now in this bad time in South African where economy has dropped and how should I survive this month if I am treated like this. Polmed jst take whatever amount they wish to take without proper consultation. Yhooooo if I had other option I was going to cut ties with Polmed.

Good day

The matter as it reflects on the text above it has not fully been resolved as I noticed on my pay slip that the deduction is still the same. No changes has been made. I will be very much happy if this matter can be resolved and reflects as such on my pay slip. Otherwise I am not yet off the hoek.

Thank you very much I can honestly say that I have recieved my refund back to my bank account. Thank you for your intense investigation on this matter and have resolved it partially. I am now left with the deduction that is set to go off this month-end Aug 31. I thank this platform (Hello Peter) as this matter was resolved partially. I also thank Polmed representatives that called me to try resolve this matter.
