Hi all

I am currently searcdhing for a decent medical aid, and I am leaning towards bestmed.

Anyone have any dealings with them, and how did you find it.
 
I am with bestmed i have never had problems with them ....only thing is they for some reason or another
are closed until the 5/10/11..the mind boggles..i had to pay cash for my script this morning
not been sick for a year and the day i am sick they are closed :confused:
 
My own experiences with Bestmed: reasonable cover, very expensive, they have a very lackadaisical attitude to following up queries - don't expect a reply to an email query; I've been to see them 4 times already for one query and it's still not sorted out. Yes, their computers are off the air this week for "upgrading" - ALL services are at a standstill. My only reason for still being with them is an employer subsidy.
 
www.selfmed.co.za - let me know if you need more help.

I'll have a gander, thanks.

Thanks for this. Seems most of hello peter agree with you.

I didn't actually think they were that expensive compared to places like Discovery
 
Been with them for a very long time. No problems with them at all. I've always gotten prompt responses to emails, and have even had them phone me to sort out a problem. They do seem a bit slower since they were taken over by Sanlam though.

As far as the current computer downtime is concerned, I received both email and SMS warning to get any chronic medication before they went down.
