Unfortunately there are instances when administration errors arise and medical aid members have to bear the brunt for incompetence on the part of medical aid members or even otherwise simple mistakes. However, there are probably very few errors that can be as upsetting as being told that you have died and are therefore no longer part of the medical aid. It happens even in this day and age (2012) and it can be one of the most frustrating errors to have to correct. Not only does it end up being an inconvenience to the alive and well medical aid member, it can also put or her in a severely compromising financial position should medical bills not be paid to providers.
