Discovery Communication

for att: Adrian Gore CEO Dr Ryan Noach M.D

Mujeeb Brey Customer Services ( Non Existant) ***No Responses

Charlotte Mbewu Principal Officer **** No Responses

Worst Communication I have cone across,as a Member one has to drag their tongue on the Carpet to get a response.Copying the P.Officer Charlotte Mbewu does not help too.

1. The Benefits applicable to specific Plans are vague and confusing from PDFs

2. On request pre Authorisations this takes 3 days and done by GPs only for referral to Specialists.In the interim If we die its no problem as long as the Premuim is Paid Up.

3. Network Hospitals are far away from Members Residence and local Hospitals must be bypassed.So in emergencies this poses a problem. Does Disvovery have shares in network hospitals.? I am asking what about the other Private Hospitals not on your network as there was a previous case concerning Bias by Discovery against Non White GP's and DSP's ???

4. I am given an email address and the response is " Thank You for Contacting Discovery we will soon stop responding on this email as you have a range of alternative platforms WHICH DOES NOT WORK.

5. The Med.Schemes Ombudsman needs to wake up and do its job as the process for Complaints goes in circles.

6. Response time of 3 days for simple enquiries is really pathetic.**** Strange as i am writing this i suddenly get a response from my email sent on 9/6/22??

Reviewer Update
Ok, So someone has contacted me and all Further issues will be communicated
via KeycareEscalations..But I still dont understand why we ,as Scheme Members have to be
at the centre of Unhappiness/Perceived Grieviences (unvented) between the DSP's
and Discovery Med.Scheme which seems be at the root of some of some issues as I have to keep changing Network GPs frequently.The other issue as previously outlined on this platform is
communication lines and uneccesary red tape for referrals to specialists.The Benefits
Brochures too are really confusing and not clear on a particular Scheme plan.
Thanks
