Query remains unresolved at Discovery - consultants never get back to me

I spoke to a consultant in Feb 2025 to confirm if Discovery would pay for a papsmear and mamogram (before i make my appt). The consultant confirmed that i can go ahead it would be paid from my screening benefit. I then went for a papsmear only to find out that Discovery didnot cover the costs. I called Discovery and spoke to a consultant who then said they would listen to the call made in Feb and get back to me (Ref ***). I never received a call back. Then I called back again and spoke to Zak Laher who said she is a manager and would handle the query. She called me back and said the call in Feb was listened to and the consultant did infact confirm that the papsmear and mammogram would be covered. She promised to call me back toconfirm next steps for reimbur*****t. I have still not heard back from her. I called last week and left a message for Zak to call back - still no call back. I cannot keep calling Discovery and speaking to a new consultant explaining the whole story again and no consultant gets back to me. Really disappointed with the service and will seriously be considering moving to Bonitas. My query remains unresolved.

Still no refund made. Very frustrating dealing with Zak Laher. In addition to the claim she is working on from Dr Vd Skyff she is also supposed to attend to the payment of claim from JDW Pathology. Both claims have still not been paid. I am hugely disappointed that despite escalating the matter and posting on Hello Peter, service is still poor and no action

I really though posting on Hello Peter would get Discovery to resolve the query, but still to date, my refund has not been processed. I cannot believe i am paying so much for my medical aid with such poor service and then i have to fight to get my own money back :(

I had to call your call centre yet again yesterday and DEMAND to speak to a manager, Zak Lahers Manager. Whoever deals with complaints, specifically on Hello Peter, you guys are most incompetant. Your one liner responses demonstrate how weak you are at handling queries. Not once did anyone of you call me to find out if my query has been resolved. Instead you send vague standard responses like " We have been in touch with you to answer your comments"
