Really not impressed

<p>I received a doctors bill from my GP with whom I have been with for 22 years stating the medical aid will not pay as I have no funds. However this is my local GP and should be covered by my extended benefits cover of 6 GP visits a year</p> <p>No where was I ever informed this has changed and even upon consulting with my doctor they were never instructed the practice had to be registered with Premium Plus Network for the Extender Benefit.</p> <p>This I confirmed with my doctor who is a a Discovery Health GP. I am now sitting with two bills of almost R1000.00 that Discovery wont pay (logged a complaint ref: ********** 102) and still awaiting more feedback</p> <p> </p> <p>Seems they now expect me to find a new doctor or one covered with this plus network</p> <p>Firstly why then I have to start from scratch with a new family doctor</p> <p>Secondly why when you paid the practice last year under the benefits plan</p> <p>Thirdly no where was the dr's informed and now that they want to apply Discovery has stated it could take up to a year to get them on</p> <p> </p> <p>THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE</p> <p>Why must I pay when no one told me</p> <p>Why must I move doctors</p> <p> </p> <p>Why are you making it so difficult for patients who are ill to sort themselves out</p> <p> </p> <p>This is really not acceptable</p>
