Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Medication and Treatment Approvals

Dear Discovery,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the lack of response and the inconvenience I have faced concerning the approval of my medication and treatment. Despite submitting all the necessary documents for various examinations, including those related to my chronic condition, which requires medications such as Bertmiga, Microdentin, and catheters for a PMB condition, I have yet to receive any feedback from Discovery.

It has now been over a year with no response, and I have been repeatedly passed from one department to another without any resolution. As a concerned patient, I find this lack of communication and assistance deeply distressing.

I have made several attempts to contact my doctors, but many have either passed away or relocated. However, my urologist has provided Discovery with detailed information about my medical condition, including pelvic urotherapy reports and ultra-dynamic study results that clearly show the ongoing issues.

I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter, as the delay in treatment is significantly impacting my well-being. I would greatly appreciate a prompt response regarding the status of my case and the next steps.

Thank you for your understanding and attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely, M. Hassen ***

Dear [Mr./Ms.] [Last Name],

Good morning.

Please find the attached document for your urgent attention. As previously communicated by the doctors last year, I expect this matter to be resolved without further delay.

The attached documents provide all the necessary details regarding the patient’s case, in accordance with the medical aid scheme's requirements for verification and expertise. The patient, who is an incomplete paraplegic, has endured not only the physical challenges of their condition but also significant psychological distress due to the mishandling of this matter by Discovery Medical Aid.

Despite undergoing costly and extensive tests and studies, the medical aid has failed to address the situation appropriately. This ongoing neglect has added unnecessary emotional and psychological harm to an already vulnerable patient, which is completely unacceptable.

I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it requires and provide a prompt resolution to prevent further harm.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious issue.

Kind regards,
M. Hassen
