Shocking Service

Been on Universal since the beginning of Jan and submitted a claim for the first time at the start of April for my son's vaccinations which I paid for upfront. After submitting amended invoices requested by them last week I followed up with a phone call this morning. I have been told some of it will be paid this Friday coming (22nd of April) and the rest next Friday (29th of April) Since when does a medical aid pay bit by bit!? Shocking! And scary because what will future claims bring?

Donald assisted me and assured me that payments were in the pipeline. Please can someone call me urgently? I was told that R 500 would be paid last week the 22nd and to date no payment. And the balance of R 1 471.00 this week on the 28th. I’ve received a mini statement showing payment for the 25th for R 500 yet nothing is showing in my account? Also no statement received for the balance. Which bank account was used? This is becoming a huge battle! What utterly disappointing service
