Not worth it.

I have been waiting since November for a hospital account payment, and since January for the doctors accounts to be paid.

The hospital account came with pre-approval from Discovery, and now the facility is demanding payment from me.

Phone calls get cut off, claims go missing on the system, and correspondents ask me for the names of service providers clearly stated on the letterheads of invoices submitted in an effort to buy time.

We are in mid-April. It's time to switch.

Dear Discovery Health Servicing Team. You have been in touch and five stars for friendliness.

However, to tell me that I am in arrears because I refuse to pay my latest instalment until you pay up, is a little misplaced.

I have been invoiced R2608.00 (due 1 April 2021)

Discovery: (Claims submitted 10 November 2020 - January 2020) R77 842.00

Your debt to me is higher and older. The longer it takes Discovery to settle this, the longer it will take you to receive my money, and the more quotes and recommendations I will get for other service suppliers.

The ball is entirely in your court and cold hard cash, not platitudes, will decide the next steps.

Thank you HelloPeter. I have received my full claim amount this morning and resumed my subscribtion for now. I will follow up with the hospital today to find out if they have indeed been paid. Thank you to all involved (Paurusa from Discovery and your other agents as well) for helping to get this sorted.
