Discovery maternity benefits a lie

Discovery health do not pay for ante Natal classes like they claim to on their maternity benefits. They only cover a small portion of the fees:

We can and do pay for ante-natal classes. We cover these up to a limit of 5 classes or R943.53. We have to set limits to make sure that the benefits remain sustainable for the scheme.

There is no one in the country that will do it at their rates and when you question them

Our decisions are not based on what we think healthcare professionals should charge for their services, but on what we know the Discovery Health Medical Scheme can afford to pay for those services without compromising the long-term sustainability of members' benefits and contributions.

But yet they have massive 3 billion rand buildings in sandton and operating profits of over 460 million rand? But they don’t cover what they claim to cover in their brochures.
