WOOL PULLED OVER OUR EYES, DISCHEM MEDICAL COVER
So today my mother-in-law gets a letter from these people telling her this (Cover for heart attack and stroke in respect of emergency department and in hospital treatment will be REMOVED from the 1st of January........) We joined this medical insurance for this reason. She is 77 years old. So even with the R591 we are paying a month if she has a heart attack, they will not be helping her.
The reason being is that if Dis-chem Health keeps this the premium will be to costly TO THE MEMBERS.... MMMMMM I think that Dis-chem is just like all the other big medical aids, thinking of their pockets first. Should this not be up to the member weather or not they choose to pay the extra monthly costs or not? I ask the woman I spoke to "so if my mother-in-law has a heart attack and need to go to hospital will you help her, and the answer was no "So I asked her so even if she is dying of a heart attack and she said no" So now even with medical cover paid every month she will need to go to some horrible government hospital and maar hope and pray for the best!!!
We joined this for my mother-in-law as she only gets SASSA, and we cannot afford any more for her. Read everything it covers and thought great. Now it is sorry we promised you Ribeye steak but here is chopped liver instead.......
