Pregnant and Stranded thanks to Discovery Medical Aid

My Hospital Authorization is still not approved and I'm due in less than a month from now. Still investigating and will contact me? Yeah right. I'm due in less than a month and my stress level is through the roof all thanks to not knowing where I will give birth. Discovery you have let me down and left me stranded durin a very vulnerable time. But you remember to gladly take my money but won't deliver on your services. I have opted to proceed in escalating my matter to the Medical Ombudsman because I cannot afford to pay u cash for my delivery while my medical aid collects my money for the fun of it.

Standard response as always. All I'm asking is for a pre-authourisation code for my gynecologist to book my hospital stay and delivery. Please. That's all I need

I am pregnant and feel stranded by Discovery refusing to authorize my delivery and hospital. They are okay with taking my money but give you the runaround when it's time to deliver on their end. How pathetic and inhumane of them to treat me as heavily pregnant as I am.
