Bad medical aids exist because unscrupulous people exist. Unscrupulous people know that ignorant and desperate people can be exploited. And so they create unethical businesses and institutions like Hosmed. As a healthcare provider I want to discourage individuals and businesses from ever joining Hosmed. The level of unprofessional conduct, the administrative injustice in their unclear procedures and the sheer frustration working with them make it my moral duty to warn people against this broken scheme. It's a schemes by unscrupulous people exploiting ignorant and desperate individuals.
I transferred money internationally and paid the quoted fees upon transfer. This morning I noticed R204.03 debited from my account. Reference number Fx Ibk4e01031 Sd3g93. Utterly unacceptable, ambushing clients with hidden costs.
After 18 phone calls and combing their outdated websites to find what the registration fees are for new applications in 2018, I still have no clue. Renewal fees, yes, but not new application fees. The call Centre person failed phone etiquette training and repeatedly she put me through to a line that simply drops after a while. And all I want to do is to register for a practice number. And pay you, because it's what the law requires. If only you were worth the money you claim. Shameful.
