From Preshana Shazia Patel (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=707131904):
MEDICAL AID: I would like to know if there is a "medical aid board" or ombudsman I can approach as I need an operation done and my medical aid has declined authorisation saying that there are conservative ways to treat me 1st and only if all else fails will they consider authorisation. Problem is I am in pain and conservative treatment takes mnths to work (IF it works). Hence I really need the op, so would like to appeal this. But who do I go to in order to take the matter further?? I am with BestMed. Tia*
