Discovery Medical Aid Special Claims Ongoing Drama
I have submitted Discovery claims four times (on email and using the Discovery portal), twice in December 2019, unaware my savings had depleted for the year. I was informed that the claim needs to be resubmitted in January 2020 when the savings have replenished and to complete and sign a special request form. In January 2020 I submitted the same claims as well as the duly completed and signed special request form, on email and using the Discovery portal, 12 attachments with all the required proofs have been shared with Discovery on all the above-mentioned occasions. I have been informed that the claims "cannot be found" and that I resend these documents for what will be the fifth time. Please bear in mind that every time I start the process and resubmit the attachments Discovery take 3/4 working days to "process" the claim/enquiry. I called Discovery twice today, I held on the phone for 12 minutes and got cut off the first time, the second time I spoke to a helpful consultant for a few minutes, was put on hold and got cut off. PLEASE can someone assist me in resolving this issue today, this is urgent.

I have not received a call or a follow-up email from Discovery today, it's 15:36. I called Discovery 20 minutes ago and spoke to a helpful consultant who has suggested that I complete 12 separate special claims forms for all the relevant claims submitted. I was not told to complete 12 separate forms initially (December 2019), however, I completed one form with all twelve Dr's/Pharmacy's/Blood Tests/Other Tests and other details etc; All the claims/invoices and detail have been shared with Discovery in the form of attachments on email as well as the numerous attachments I have shared with Discovery on the portal. Please could you arrange for the detail from those invoices etc to be captured accordingly on the Discovery portal database and inform me of what the status is of these claims? I have done everything Discovery has suggested and informed me, with absolutely no progress. Your urgent assistance would be appreciated.
