Discovery health medical aid heartless and greedy

I've been with Discovery for 3 years my baby(4yrs old) fell and broke her tooth. Took her to a dentist but he couldn't do anything and said he'll book her in at a day clinic. She's on meal replacement because she can't eat because of the broken tooth. The piece that's left is loose I've been praying that it falls off then maybe the pain would be less..After sending an email to Discovery to get authorisation I got a response saying my plan does not cover day clinics..Been with them for 3 years never hospitalized or done anything drastic that would make me a high claimer. They didn't even ask me to motivate or at least show empathy..she's four years old for Gods sake. And all they could say was that my plan does not cover it.. Guess its not their problem right.. You may brag about having a lot of members but the only reason you still have some of these members is because some companies only offer Discovery. You are heartless and have no compassion.

Hello dimples2,

Thank you for your post.

The KeyCare plan does offer dental benefits however in hospital benefits are not covered on this plan type. Whist we understand your current situation we are unable to provide you with a different answer and are very sorry for this.

I do understand that you are unhappy with the plan coverage that you are receiving. You may consider upgrading your plan to a higher plan which offers richer benefits in terms of plan cover. This can be done during our year end revision period ****il 15 December) and will be made effective 01/01/2016.

Regards
Keymira
