SHOCKING SERVICE

I have been with Discovery Health for 20 years and in that time I have seen Discovery go from excellent to way below unacceptable. You can never get clarity on issues, approvals for Chronic medication and even you finally do get answers the information conflicts with what actually is happening. I have now being trying for FOUR MONTHS to get a clear answer and approval for one of my chronic medications. Different people give me different information. I'm running back and forth to my pharmacy only to come home empty handed. Phone calls and emails are ignored or incorrect information is relayed to me. In the meantime I as a pensioner struggling to pay my medical aid each month is left WITHOUT CHRONIC MEDICATION. Discovery app and website is just as useless. There is always a technical problem.

Discovery has sent me a list of chronic conditions and medications they pay for. I have over a dozen of those lists. I required a CALL from a manager as I have LETTERS from Discovery Health with conflicting information. This is happening FAR TO OFTEN with Discovery Health lately

All you have sent me is a list as mentioned. This IS NOT WHAT I WANTED. I don't need a GENERIC ANSWER FROM YOU. I NEED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN MANAGEMENT. THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINAL

After numerous emails and posts on Hellopeter I am STILL WAITING for a manager from Discovery Health to contact me. It is now TWO WEEKS and still I have no idea what is happening with regards to one of my Chronic medications.
