Bad service

Good day, I have an unresolved query that dates back to 23 October2024. Every email sent results in an automated response stating that I will receive a response within 5 working days. To date I have never received a response! Every phone call results in being told that the matter has been escalated or re-escalated. Priscilla N*** Razia N*** Donal N*** Lesego N*** Hloni N*** My PMB application for Glaucoma was authorized on 19 June 2024. A claim was submitted for Glaucoma treatment dated 19 June 2024. This claim was paid from my Medical Savings Account not as a PMB. Razia in the claims department assured me that the claim will be reversed and the amount would be credited back to my MSA. She did explain that it would take 5 to 10 working days and I would receive a confirmation email in this regard. I am still waiting. As a result I have had claims rejected stating that my funds are depleted! In my opinion, this amounts to theft!! I am appealing to Sizwe Hosmed to escalate this matter to a senior person that has the required knowlegde and experience to treat this matter with the urgency that it deserved!!

It is now 11 Feb and still no response to my query!!
As per your call centre staff this query has been escalated several times.
To whom does it get escalated and why do they not have the decency to at least contact me in order to explain why there is no resolution yet??
