Confused

I was given confusing info. The clinic said the consultant was Bupa registered but the telephonist said not. However I was given an authorisation code

I have been waiting for over 3 weeks for a call, email, letter, carrier pigeon to let me know what has happened to my refund for treatment I had to pay for whilst Bupa decided to check my claim request. It’s been going on since October. Numerous emails sent, more phone calls than I can remember Totally inept of dealing with any issues.

Sound guidance through recent hip issue

BUPA were really helpful guiding me through the treatment for a recent muscular issue with my hip, so that I got the correct injection that kept the pain at bay to allow me to progress through the physio afterwards.
