SO REPORTED A PROBLEM FROM 1ST JUNE 2020 REGARDING THIS MEDICAL AID SIMPLY REFUSING TO HONOUR ITS OBLIGATIONS. INITIALLY CLAIM SHORT PAID AND TOLD THE REASON WAS THAT THE SPECIALIST VISIT WAS NOT AUTHORISED. SENT THEM PROOF OF AUTHORISATION. HUH !!!! NEW REASON ADVANCED. USED THE INCORRECT CODE ON DOCTORS INVOICE. HUH!!! RESUBMITTED INVOICE WITH THE CODE STIPULATED EVEN THOUGH THE SAME SPECIALIST HAS BEEN CLAIMING USING THE VERY SAME CODE. YOU GUESSED RIGHT - SUBMITTING DUPLICATE INVOICE...INVOICE REJECTED...CALLED CALL CENTRE...AGREE WITH ME AND WILL SORT IT OUT...STILL HAVE'NT...ESCALATED THE PROBLEM...INFORMED THAT THE MATTER IS BEEN ATTENDED TO ...10 DAYS AGO...POOR SERVICE..HAVE TO NOW TAKE THIS TO THE MEDICAL AID OMBUDSPERSON BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY REFUSE TO HONOR THEIR OBLIGATIONS

Reviewer Update
Sorry but I have heard this before...I have emailed your consultants from threesixty consultants who assist with administering your scheme. Regrettably, they add little value to your business and given they administering the scheme at enormous cost wherever they can dispute or not pay a claim they do so. More administration fees for them no doubt. Try calling and dealing with them who handle your call centre....NHI please come asap...
