No feedback on refund claim
After cancelling my medical aid, there was money due to me which was the balance of my Medical Savings Account. I emailed Discovery and they told me I had to email them stating I wanted the refund, which I did. then I received an email to say in 3-5 days I would get a response. 38 days later no one has responded. I phone them and they tell me I was supposed to write a letter and send as an attachment which they didn't tell me in the first place, they just said send an email. Then they put me through to Finance department, who apparently have their own turn around time, upon asking if their turn around time was more then a month, the lady put me on hold to look into it, next thing the call was dropped. This is unacceptable. I've waited for over a month. I never missed a payment, but now they I need a refund, there's all sorts of problems.
Thank you for your comment.
If a principal member withdraws from Discovery Health and joins another medical scheme, as a principal member, we are required to transfer any positive accrued balances in the MSA to the other scheme.
If a member withdraws and does not join another scheme, or moves to another Discovery Health Plan that does not offer an MSA, we are required to refund the member any positive accrued balance in their MSA. The refund will take place after five months.
I confirmed that the early MSA pay out was processed and I confirmed the details telephonically based on the information we have received. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the manner in which query was handled and be assured I am addressing this internally.
Thank you for allowing me to assist with your query.
