6 months waiting for Hospital Authorisation
I visited my GP and he advised i see an Othorpaedic Sergeon. The specialtist advised I must go for surgery in December 2018. Discovery Health , told me they can not authorise as I need to submit a final medical report. I submit that frommy previous Specialist who performed the last surgery afew years ago. They advised they will get back to me. I made a number of calls and follows , till again yesterday I was told they had no feedback for me as yet. And they keep deducting R3500 every month. But no feedback when I need hospital authorisation. Be warned this is not a medical aid for emmergencies. It is almost 6 month since my last visit to the Dr , till today I do not know where I stand with these people,

23 Apr 2019, 11:02As usual I got a reply again that I must wait 2-3 days for a reply. This is supposed to be a medical aid dealing with immergency issues. We are headed to 7 months now, still a struggle to get hospital authorization. They have everything, I submitted all they want. They keep shifting goal posts. I hope people are following this because this is the horrible service I am getting.
I get replies from different people all the time, who are not aware of any progress on my quiery. No customer care, focus is on new customers thats all. Once you are in, you get treated like I do, whilst they never make a mistake of debiting your account. No dedicated person who addresses your issues and communicate any solutions to you, apart from being told to wait 2-3 days per response. But when they want you to join, you can even get 10 replies daily till you join.
Discovery is the worst coming tocustomer care.
