Unhappy about Unlimited FuneraI insurance

I have Funeral Insurance , The Unlimited Policy no. PR273935, I took this cover since 2012 July, and never defaulted. My Mother was also included on the cover and passed away 28/04/2021. I registered for a claim on the 7/5/2021 and have sent them all documents for claim, they then sent me forms that the Regular Treating Doctor of my mother has to complete, which it was not disclosed on their terms that when claiming for insurance, the doctor has to disclose all the medical records of consultations . Doctor completed the forms and i submitted, then they told me that the forms have to be assessed, yesterday, i have received sms from GEMS , that information from treating doctor has been requested and is for assessment. till now they still haven't paid the cover. What sadden me is that I am still in mourning and not coping well, and they are sending me pillar to post. I am so unhappy with their service, if this was a life cover plan, I would maybe understood, but for just funeral claim to require such confidential medical history of my mother, I find it unnecessary. I will really appreciate to be assisted. Thank you

Hi Mpheteng,





We’re completely shattered to hear that your mother has passed on. Losing someone so special can feel incredibly overwhelming. We’re sending love to you and your family during this trying time. Kindly note that the policy you have with us is not funeral cover, however, it has a death cash benefit that pays out in cash after a successful claim. This information is laid out in our policy benefits. Before your claim is finalised, we need to assess it and this can’t be done without the documents which we requested from you. We tried to get in touch with you at 12:27PM so we could provide you with an update on your claim and unfortunately, we were unable to get ahold of you. When you’re free, please send us a reply and we’ll give you a call.

Reviewer Update
Unlimited , Its ironically how you state it " Death Cash Benefit", when I was joining they said it is a " funeral cover", kindly elaborate difference between the two terms , and I will appreciate to receive feedback on your assessment alternatively through SMS and email, if you couldn't reach me on my phone.
