Profmed is definitely one big ****!!!

I am totally disappointed in Profmed.

On 4 December I received approval for removing my wisdom teeth via email. Code - 08941 Code - 08007

The operation was done on 6 December. After submitting and waiting for 3 weeks I received an email that the operation was declined.

Reason - Authorisation needed for services rendered(448)

How can I receive approval for an operation and then decline the payout 3 weeks later?

I respond via email when I ask for feedback. They have never struggled to get their money out of me every month.

First I did an operation and used Promed. They showed their true colors.

Stay away from them. There are much beter medical aids out there.

Good day

Once again profmed disappointed me.

That claim is still not being sorted.

It is 6 weeks after the operation and still not received the money.
Someone is handling my case, but doesn’t get feedback.

Nobody has contacted me yet.

Can someone phone me ASAP.

The only option is the ombudsman.
