Specialist in hospital fees from October 16 are still not paid??!!

<p>Stratum benefits sold us a shortfall policies "GAP cover" that pays the shortfall of specialist fees during hospitalisation.</p> <p> </p> <p>The policy has been active and paid since May 2015</p> <p>Stratum confirmed that the policy is active</p> <p>We submitted a specialist bill that got short paid in October 2016.</p> <p>Our medical aid paid the specialist his rates as per medical aid rates and the shortfall was referred to Stratum who's got one request on another for information.</p> <p>The latest from Stratum is that the doctor had to submit his daily bills against the medical aid. This sounds unusual?</p> <p>The specialist confirmed that they have done so, proof provides and the shortfall is very clear.</p> <p>Have any one else experienced this?</p> <p>Why do they term the following and not provide it?</p> <p>WANNEER ONS JOU DEK</p> <p>· Jy is gedek wanneer jou diensvers******s 'n tarief hef wat aansienlik meer is as wat jou mediese skema uit jou mediese skema hospitaalvoordeel betaal en nie uit jou mediese skema spaarrekening of dag-tot-dag voordeel nie</p> <p>· Jy is gedek vir mediese prosedures wat in die hospitaal, dokters of spesialiste se spreekkamers, dagklinieke of ander geregistreerde fasiliteite uitgevoer word</p> <p>· Jy is gedek vir Voorgeskrewe Minimum Voordeel (VMV) mediese prosedures</p> <p>WAARVOOR ONS JOU DEK</p> <p>Ons GAPING VOORDEEL bied 'n bykomende 500% dekking wanneer jy aanspreeklik is vir die verskil tussen wat jou diensvers******s hef en wat jou mediese skema betaal uit jou mediese skema hospitaalvoordeel. Daar is geen beperking op die aantal kere per jaar wat jy kan eis vir rekeningtekorte wat verband hou met die volgende mediese dienste:</p> <p>· Dokters of spesialiste</p> <p>· Basiese swart-en-wit x-strale (maar nie gespesialiseerde radiologie soos MRI-, CT- en PET-skanderings nie)</p> <p>· Patologie</p> <p>· Fisioterapie</p> <p>· Weggooibare items soos chirurgiese handskoene, verbande en gaas</p> <p>· Medikasie wat verskaf is as deel van jou binne- of buite-hospitaal voorval (maar nie medikasie om huis toe te neem nie)</p> <p> </p>
