******* practice from Discovery Health.

Utterly appalling business practice, again, from Discovery Health.

I want a call right now, immediately, without fail, or I will be taking legal action.

I app**** for and was granted PMB medical cover.

The amounts submitted have been deducted from my personal Medical Savings account.

This is theft. This is ******* practice.

Discovery did this before a few years ago, and the funds were eventually returned.

Here is the mail I wrote when submitting the PMB invoices:

• My PMB application has been approved from my PMB allowance. • These are not to be deducted from my personal medical savings account under any circumstances. • I make these payments directly to my provider, so these need to be repaid to me directly as per the past few years.

I want a call back NOW or I'm going to the Ombudsman.

The only email I have received is that Discovery has investigated the matter, no "final feedback".

I want a call back, and not just an email.

Regards.

I was promised a call back after a discussion last week on the 21st of August by Sikhanyiso, reference number ***.

I am still waiting for this feedback and call back.

Still no email with "final feedback" as promised.
No call back with feedback as promised.

What does a customer have to do to have someone take accountability in this company that I pay R5000 per month.

I'm filing a formal complaint with the Ombudsman.
My instructions were clear, explicit and unequivocal.
They are in writing, on email.
Considering these facts, the response from Mohammed Sayed is appalling.
This is not the first time Discovery's misuse of the MSA has occurred.
Will be in touch.

Did you neglect to read my message at all?

I DO NOT WANT A "FINAL" EMAIL, I WANT A CALL BACK.

I pay your company R5000 per month, `and have done so for 20 years.
You can afford to make a call.
