Trying to shift hospital related claims to members
I have inside information that Discovery is on a mission to reject legitimate claims so ******** members should pay for them themselves. This is a disgrace from a company praising themselves on how good they are. My baby was born in hospital and put on the medical aid. She also went to hospital 2 weeks later for being sick and in both cases Discovery rejected the Pathology claims requested by the in-hospital doctor via Ampath with a reason code of 273 : \We have not paid for the amount claimed as you do not have a Medical Savings Account for this year. Please pay your health partner the outstanding amount if you have not already.\" We all know this is a hospital admission related account and has to be paid from the hospital benefit and they admitted the claims were wrongly assessed and will be re-assessed. EVERYONE - TAKE NOTE OF THIS PRACTICE and make sure you do not allow pathology ( blood tests, etc ) while in hospital to be paid from your MSA. Luckily I do not have a MSA so this bounced back to them. If I had a MSA I would have paid for it unknowingly. I will be taking this complaint to the Medical Council also, so members can be informed of their rights in their contracts."
