Medshield
Unhappy -medshield not paying vein stripping

My father had to a vericose vein stripping.i phoned 07feb13 medshield to get authorization. gave all the info as per Dr with code 1413- i was told by tebogo that it would be smsed. i phoned the next day as i didnt get any sms and spoke to Raheb whom told me immedately that medshield doesnt cover for vericos vein stripping operation code: 1413. i was told to get a motivation letter from the Dr, which took a while 3weeks but i only got it 25feb. but in the meantime dad got operated 1march which i had to put a deposit of R25 000.00 to the hospital. which the total operation cost: R18227.53, excluding Medshield refused to pay for the anesthetic of R 2036.88. and medshield would know that my dad's leg has problem with his veins as we order a full leg vein stock in the past- and not even all of them have been paid by Medsheild. This pre-exisiting was known as medshield took over oxygen medical which was what my parents were on. So point is.medshield doesnt care, but needs. so why must they stay with medshield? you are proving, when medical aid is needed. you dont come to the party.
