Cunning Thievery

I've been a loyal Discovery member for over a decade and am on the Smart Classic.

I recently had an incident that required me to take my son to the hospital emergency unit. Upon payment, Discovery rejected authorisation, so I had to pay cash. This payment covered radiology and doctor consultation. There is also a hospital payment, the only thing Discovery paid.

Therefore, I called Discovery to query if I could claim, and they told me I could submit a claim request. The process required me to get the Service Provider (doctor consultation) to submit the PMB form to Discovery on my behalf. The service provider told me they would charge me a submission fee which I had no choice but to accept to get my money back from Discovery. This process continues after hours on the phone with both Discovery and the Service Provider. I strongly believe that the medical industry is in cahoots to cheat the people.

Upon further investigation, it turns out that Discovery has become nothing more than an intelligent ***** using fine print trickery to take the money of people with low incomes.

I've decided to give up and rather cancel my membership.
