Card still not delivered, almost a year later

I joined Discovery Medical Aid in October 2014, I was advised that my Discovery Health Card would be delivered within 4 - 8 weeks. It is now 8 months later and i still have not received my card. I have called and emailed numerous times and each time i get told that it will take 4-8 weeks., needless to say, my card has still not been delivered. I just tried calling them now before writing this complaint, I was told that the systems are offline and they can't do anything for me.<br> <br> I have been refused treatment from certain doctors because as a first time patient i need to produce the card. I cannot not always print out and present a copy of the Medical Aid Certificate everytime i visit a doctor.<br> <br> I have almost given up and will be looking at alternative Medical Aid options if this is not sorted out within the next few days.

Hello artman344,

Thank you for your comment.

We rely on the postal service to deliver membership cards to our members and I am sorry to hear that you have not yet received it. In the instance that you do not have your membership card you can download your membership certificate from the website. I am pleased to confirm that your membership card will be delivered to you early next week.

Thank you for allowing me to assist with your query.

Regards
Arthi
