WALK-IN SERVICE

Walk-in Services are those available at centres that Bankmed members can literally walk into. Whereas much of your interaction with Bankmed is via the call centre and through Client Support Officers at your place of work, or through written communication, Walk-in centres allow for you to physically "visit" Bankmed and speak to a Customer Service Agent. No appointment is required.

Services offered include (but are not limited to) assistance with claims, the completion of application and various forms (including plan selections) and general information, for example benefit confirmation, membership and premium information.

Bankmed has two Walk-in Centres:

Cape Town (Monday - Friday, 08h00 - 16h30)
Ground Floor, Adderley House, Cnr Shortmarket and Adderley Street, Cape Town

Pretoria (first Thursday of the month, 09h00 - 15h00)
Lower ground floor (next to the canteen), 175 Nedbank Plaza, Cnr Church and Beatrix Street, Arcadia
