worst medical aid by far

Colostomy products were approved on chronic last year and again this year. Yet each month when I submit the claim for the refund I end up with problems and excuses time after time. unfortunately as a Bank pensioner I have no option to join another medical aid. Since Discovery took over from Momentum as the administrator the service standards continue to drop each month. If it wasn't for their captive client basis they would have been out of business long ago. They just find every excuse in the book to not pay or prolong payment as long as possible. My previous claim took over 2 months rectify. As a disabled pensioner I cannot afford to be out of pocket each month especially considering the premium they receive each month of almost R3000.00

Still stand by my comment. All documents and proof of payment were supp**** to you. Now I see you have processed the claim to pay the supplier. Please note the supplier has already been paid by myself and you need to refund me NOW. You are just proving your incompetence to the rest of SA. How long does it take your staff to read and understand the documents sent to them? I do not want a copy and paste response.
