I am asking the NIS to look into what a nurse did to me

Apr 22, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have been a pensioner for the past seven (7) years, before I attained the age of sixty (60) years. I have been claiming N.I.S medical benefit for hypertension and diabetic care. Attached is a copy of the doctor’s charges. I never had a problem with my N.I.S re-imbursement which usually amounts to about twenty four thousand dollars ($24,000) for every three (3) months. However, I was recently asked to take my medication to the nurse at Skeldon N.I.S Office.
I gave her all the medications that I am using together with those for my open heart surgery operation, and informed her that I am not claiming for the open heart surgery medication. She asked me the amount N.I.S is paying me monthly. I am not aware of what the nurse reported, but the amount of money I received for my re-imbursement is three hundred and eighty dollars ($380) I attached proof of that. This is outrageous. It is my belief that a negative report was submitted by the nurse since she believes that I am receiving enough monthly from the N.I.S. I started to pay N.I.S from day one September 1969 to the 7th November, 2010 (41 years). I have been receiving my medical re-imbursement for the past 10 years. What is the problem now?
