Discovery Health WORSE CLAIM SERVICE EVER!!

At the time of writing this it is the 5th September, on the 23rd August I sent through a claim to Discovery and they still have not paid me 13 days later (including weekends). I then sent 2x follow up emails to claims a few days later and still have not received a response from Discovery nor have I yet to receive payment. Very Pathetic service from them with not even a phone call. As per their below automated response (which they cannot even abide by) it has been far more than 2-3 days.

Reviewer Update
I received a letter from Shaun Govender at Discovery at 11:42am on Monday 11th September advising me that payment will be made to me in 2-3 days. It is now the 3rd day and still no payment has been made to me. It shows Discovery will just send you a letter to keep you quiet and dangle a carrot in your face for a few days and leave the matter unresolved.
