In addition to the above, please do not send the predefined response of " Dear Miss Mac***uThank you for contacting us.
We have received your query regarding your annual accumulation of claims in the benefit year for your chronic medication.As per Discovery Health's rules, we allow members to collect their medication every 23rd day after the previous claim.This means that once you have collected your medication, there is a block put in place that only allows you to collect the next batch of medication 23 days later.In order for your claiming schedule to align with the maximum amount of claims you are allowed in the period of a benefit year, you can request for your claims that did not have full quantities to be consolidated into one claim for that month from your respective pharmacy.
