Umvuzo *** Service

I am so disgusted by the pathetic service I received from umvuzo . I Phone *** to get authorization to see a specialist 5 days earlier, On the day of appointment the auth number was not given and had to pay R1000.00 to see the Specialist. When I phoned back after (being promised to be phoned back) the told gave me the auth no and said I should claim from them for reimbur*****t- I was given an incorrect email for to send a refund claim ….I phoned again after 5 days to confirm whether the e-mail was received or not. Nope....I have used the incorrect e-mail so the correct one was given and I AGAIN sent it on 10 /10. Today 30/10 I phone (AGAIN) to find out how far is the refund.. NELSON assisted me he was very very sarcastic made feel STUPID ...accused me of doing things I did not do. then told me my they don't have my banking details and the amount that Iam claiming for is sky high they can only refund R600...1. I phoned this number 4 times not once was I told about the banking details. but in any case wrote the email 2. Still waiting for the clinical sister to send me or phone me concerning my status. When I told Nelson he must cut to the chase and give me an e-mail where I can send the details coz am at work ...Nelson said to me HE IS ALSO WORKING SO WHAT >>>>>>>>>>Nelson you have the job now because I pay the medical aid a hell lot of money in order for you to keep that JOB.

Thank you Gwen. Would you kindly give me an indication the date when you spoke with Nelson, and also when you were expecting your authorisation number, that you never received?

Kind regards,
