Chronic Medication - Pathetic!
We are on Discovery since June 2015. We've app**** for my chronic medication cover, because I have lung and heart problems. The only heart medication I can use, is Corolan. I can't use beta-blockers, because of my asthma problem. Discovery asked for a motivation letter from my doctor. Yesterday, I've send in the 2nd Motivation letter from my specialist, together with a letter from the Cardiologist, to state why I can ONLY use Corolan. Discovery send me a letter this morning, telling me it has been declined!!! The reason: Ons befonds nie hierdie item vir hierdie toestand uit die voordeel vir Chroniese siektes nie. <br> <br> I can't believe it!!!! There is NO alternative for Corolan, and I can not use Beta-blockers because of my asthma! ALL my previous medical aids had NO problem whatsoever to pay for my Corolan!!! Discovery, who is much more expensive than my previous medical-fund, have a problem!! So people, please BEWARE!!!! If you have a lung and heart condition, and have to use Corolan, don't even bother to apply at Discovery!!! <br> <br> Even my UNAT pill, which I have to use for fluid-retention, is only covered for R40. This medication's price is R316 for a month. Pathetic!
