Sizwe Hosmed Medical Scheme - DO NOT CARE

SICK MEDICAL AID

On four occasions from Wednesday 10/3/25 to 19/3/25 I sent a request to my medical aid Sizwe Hosmed asking for authorization for me to see a dermatologist. I included a referral letter from my GP who had recommend that I see this particular dermatologist. I did this because my medical aid will only pay for me to see a specialist if the visit is first authorized by them. All I got back every time was this:

‘Dear Valued Member Thank you for your request/query. Our customer service team is now looking into your query. A more substantive response to your problem and a suitable solution will be provided to you within 3-5 business days. Your choice for quality care, Sizwe Hosmed Medical Scheme.’

And this is what they call ‘quality care’ and as I am 91 I don’t have time to wait.
