High-handed behaviour shown by Discovery Health

Due to circumstances beyond my control the debit order for my Discovery subscription was declined. Discovery never had the courtesy to inform me of this problem so that I could correct it. Instead, they summarily cancelled my medical cover without informing me, and only sent me an sms to this effect over a week later. So, for over a week, I was without any medical cover WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. This high-handed treatment by Discovery occurred after I'd been a regular contributor for over a year, and had never even made a claim. Before you join a medical scheme, make sure they show more courtesy and empathy to their clients. I, for one, will be looking elsewhere for medical cover.
