Discovery yet to discover better administration

Health Application was submitted 1 February 2018, for activation 1 April 2018. ONLY on 3 April 2018 AFTER I enquired about my application, was there work done on my application. The excuse was that the broker was a problem, BUT this was sorted out on 14 MARCH 2018 already. They advised my HR department I will be loaded with NO WAITING Periods (on the 14th of March 2018), now they come with OTHER stories like I did not join within three months when I was appointed by my company. I was NOT informed by my organization that it was a compulsory scheme, I was advised that I could join "any medical aid" of choice. Had I known that DIscovery was a compulsory scheme for my organization, I would have joined them, AS I HAVE WORKED IN HR before! and knows what it means, no waiting period and no penalties. I RESIGNED my previous medical aid to JOIN DISCOVERY because I was under the IMPRESSION that Discovery is a better-administrated fund, but obviously, my impression was incorrect.

And today, more than 24 hours after the promised "4-8" hours, I still have had NO RESPONSE from Discovery. It just gets worse!

Now after Seven weeks if NO work done by Discovery they want ME to go to a Dr AT my OWN cost, as I now am WITHOUT medical aid due to THEIR incompetence. They are CLEARLY NOT interested in this business

The outcome after 7 week s work not done by Discovery is that they treat all their members equally and will not make any concessions for a new applicant due to this EVEN though THEY were negligent. Nice Discovery. You do whatever you say as long as it is in your favour. Your administration is pathetic, your apologies are empty and totally worthless as you do not put your BILLIONS of Rand's where your mouth is.
