Disgusting ****** behaviour that has ****** me of three months of my life and my resources
I did an eye test on the 29th of November 2021. The claim wasn’t put through until 29th December 2021 even though the receptionist said she would put it through the next day. There was a bit of a problem because my bill was more than what the medical aid normally pays, which would mean I would apply for exgratia. I app**** for exgratia who were the ones that kept on saying they could not make a decision cause nothing had been claimed. A month later I went in again and waited there until she processed the claim, but she put zeros on the extra items which I would need to claim from exgratia. I went back in and asked for her to correct it this was January now. The medical aid paid a portion and there was one document missing. When the person dealing with my case called me to forward that form she asked me if the spectacles were made which unfortunately they were not. She asked why not because deposit for the spectacles was paid in Jan already they just needed the extras to be claimed in order to finish this query as it has been long in the line and had negative impact on them because they have different files that they put together as this was a serious case. They said the extra were important to be noted on the medical aid as when I change spectacles they would refer back to it. The practice manager keeps speaking to call center agents who tell her gems will not pay for this, but gems says those people have no deciding powers all the required is that the practice follow the proper process. The practice manager calls me today in a very rude manner and tells me she will cancel everything I must find another optometrist. I asked her that according to the medical aid the fact that the deposit was done it meant the spectacles should have been on the pipeline, she said she was not going to do that and be stuck with spectacles lying the for a year. How does she know it would lye there for a year? Gems takes 48 hours to answer number 1 if things are done correctly. If they reject I would be liable how does she know my finances that I would not pay for them as I need them? Is it because I am black? Is because I app**** for exgratia? Did she maybe do a credit check. By the way on the 29th of Nov when the receptionist said she would put it through I told her I would pay. She is the one that did not claim she is also the one that put zeros for some items, these things registered with the medical aid also help for tax purposes. So now I am left stranded and fuming because this is three months of my life that I will never get back. The colour of my skin is not my bank balance and being rude and insisting on doing things your way does not help. I want my spectacles and sunglasses how? She will have to make a way. Because now I really feel like they just simply did not do it because she is ******. They did not even want to ask the doctor to fill in the form for me.
