Discovery Health worse than Taxi strike in Cape Town

Called Remedi regarding my wife needing a nebulizer device, as Remedi approved her chronic benefits for asthma, to my shock i was told this device is not covered by Discovery Health on the Remedi option , but on all other Discovery policies it's covered how can I device that helps you breath in emergencies not be covered even thought there is a medical device benefit which covers just over R6000 but a nebulizer of less than R1000 is not covered, if no feedback is given I will send my complaint to badservicewp,

Reviewer Update
Just an update , I was and explained that my plan exclusions is a nebulizer device , but nowhere in the 2023 or 2023 membership brochure , does it specify an nebulizer device is excluded, there is funding for oxygen delivery device which an nebulizer is , Asthma is real Discovery you guys know that bronchoconstriction and mucous plugging can happen , why would you want your clients to suffer ?
