Unable to get telephonic authorisation

Impossible to get through telephonically for hospital authorisations. You have to listen to 3 rounds of options, none of which offer an authorisation option. When they finally take your call, you get off. I am livid and this is not the first time. It is virtually impossible dealing with this medical aid in terms of telephonic communication. And don't blame covid either for insufficient staff and high call volumes. We pay a fortune for cover and we cannot even get a telephone call answered! And I see, they don't bother responding on this platform either. The company has grown too big to care.

Please contact me again as I don't have all day to hang on the line waiting for a hospital authorisation option to come up. This is utter nonsense. The fact that you are unable to do this from the app is also crazy. A big flaw in your systems Discovery. Could be better.
