Pregnant woman don't matter! Shocking Committment

No gynecologist could assist/help us fall pregnant in 13 years. We finally found one. Dr Van Tonder who operates out of Sandton Mediclinic. He got us pregnant at the age of 38 years old. We had been seen him for months before this and trusted him. During the year of the birth we ran out medical savings which meant the network benefit would kick in. At least so we thought. We continued see our trusted Dr Van Tonder with the hope that discovery would cover the consultation fees. This was not the case. We had build up over R 12 000 credit card debt due to the costs of consultations. When I approach discovery they refused to pay it, even at their rate of 200%. I was confused. They used the excuse that my gynecologist was not on the network list of doctors. This was very strange as they payed in full for the same Doctor to deliver the baby. Instead they encouraged me to change gynecologists. This in itself would put my wife at risk as they referring me to the same list of gynecologists who couldn't spot that my wife had cancerous tumors and pollops in her ovaries. Funny that discovery also paid in full for him to remove those at Medfem. We are disgusted by Discovery who care little.
