Discovery refusing to pay out on their Fitbit Vitality promotion

<p>In December I purshased at Dischem a 'Fitbit Charge HR - Black Small', here I admit I made a mistake, in my defence it never occured to me that I needed to take the Fitbit to the dispensary as if I was getiing tablets instead I went to the till. I duly submitted the till slip to discovery for my benefit. After a couple of weeks I queried the claim as I heard nothing, there was no notification that it was rejected, I was told I needed a NAPPPI code which I had to get from Dischem, so I go to Dischem they give me a print out with a NAPPI code. Which I duly submitted. This time they came back and said that the benefit had come to an end, I then escalated it saying that the device was purchased in December, they then have come back and said that the NAPPI code is not covered *** and attached a list of devices. I went back to them and said my device is on your list and here it is (Fitbit *** Fitbit Charge HR - Black Small FITFB405BKS-EU), and that Dischem has given the incorrect code. Their response to this is still that the device is not covered.</p> <p>Attached is the till slip for a FITBIT CHARGE HR BLACK, SMALL with the *VIT prefix showing that it is on the Vitality list. But discovery is adament it isn't.</p>

Hi andrewpreid

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond.

We were unable to process your claim as the NAPPI code on the claim submitted was not included on the approved product list, while the benefit was still active. We contacted the pharmacy to confirm the correct codes, but they advised that they do not stock the specific device under the NAPPI code confirmed.

We have requested specific information from you, and on receipt your claim will be reviewed.

Regards

Norman
