Pathetic Service

<p>My pregnant wife was hospitalised on 31 Oct 2015 to 4 Nov 2015 and Discovery only paid for the 1st day.</p> <p> </p> <p>After which the matter has been back and forth between Discovery and the Hospital for the oustanding amount. The hospital subsequently sent a motivational letter on 22 June 2016, which was simply ignored by Discovery.</p> <p> </p> <p>I called on 4 Aug 2016 to have the matter resolved and that is only when Discovery looked into the matter, after which on 12 Aug 2016 they are requesting clinical information and a diagnostic report prior to payment. I am very concerned that the patient/doctor confindentiality is simply being ignored as no conscent has been requested from either my wife or myself to share this confidential information. The requested information goes through a call centre and is at anyones disposal. </p>

Reviewer Update

Almost 3 weeks have elapsed since posted this complaint and I am still waiting for the issue to be resolved and I am still awaitng feedback from at least 3 people from Discovery Health.

I need a date when this will be resolved and by whom, no-one is able to give me a solid answer.
