***DISGUSTING & POOR TERRIBLE

****DISCOVERY MEDICAL AID IS ABSOLUTELY **** DON'T USE

My wife needed to be admitted into hospital and was diagnosed by a physician specialist

I had brought her to the hospital only to discover that a note is needed from the specialist it was after hours and the specialist was closed and left instructions with the hospital I then explained the situation a to discovery and they refused to admit her

I then went back the next to the physician again to get the treatment note after recieving the treatment note I am at the hospital it's been 2 hours and I'm still waiting for authorisation

My wife cant even sit up straight due to pain and discovery was told by the hospital receptionist and till doesn't seem to be bothered about the patient/members life or treatment

I am also on a high end membership with discovery

It is unfair that I am treated like this whilst paying high and on time premiums

I am seriously reconsidering my medical aid

DON'T USE DISCOVERY HEALTH ... THEY ARE ****S AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THIER MEMBERS

Good day discovery

I am still awaiting feedback it has been around 11 days and no feedback from the investigation or the matter

Are you guys even taking any action against the terrible service ... I would also like to add in admissions whilst waiting 2 hours or more there was a elderly lady with a broken wrist and her medical aid was also discovery and you guys did a similar thing to her making wait like 1 hour

You must also understand that we are waiting/sitting in admissions for 2 hours whilst there are patients behind us also needing admissions if you don't care about your clients atleast take other patients that are after us in line into consideration

The addmitions consultan cannot leave the current patient that she is attending to and take the person after them this will cause havoc

Any way I am awaiting to see some solid explanations and feedback since you guys are "investigating" for about 2 weeks now

I will only be at ease once I have a proper explanation from DISCOVERY for such terrible service

Many thanks
AHMED

After being treated like I'm in a government hospital and being charged a medical aid premium of 4509

Its been over a year since I've had this incident discovery claims thats that they are investigating and yet no feedback is being provided
When will they actually provided me with a report in regards to the investigation they've been investigating for over a year and not even a call to ask for client feedback as to what had transpired yet they state im a valuable client

Then they are shocked as to why I have canceled my medica aid with them


This is the reason above

Hope this answers all your questions
