7 Thoughts on “Crompton Hospital (Life Health) in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal”

  • I have been in this hospital on the 29/06/2019 due to accident. I was told to pay cash because i do not have cash on my day to day funds. When quering with my medical Aid they said i did have funds. The medical aid phoned hospital to get statement from them that i had paid cash and they refused stating that they are not allowed to give this info to medical aid. They were told that i must come personally to hospital and obtain such info, when i went to thd hospital they also refused to give it to me stating that i did not have funds on that day which contradicts with my Medical Aid. I am very disappointed about the hospital because according to medical aid i did have funds they are not sure who they spoke to but i am very unhappy with the run around made by the Accounts Department. Further more how they say i did not have fund when i did get the other cash that i had paid for my X ray? I am disappointed. I do not see myself using this hospital ever again.
