Unfair treatment

Reference is made to my medical aid application that has been going on from March 2018. I have been sent back and forth by yourselves and to date the application has not been finalised. For the record I have been on Discovery Classic Comprehensive Plan since I joined Discovery in 2002 to 2007, and 2009 – 2016. I have never been admitted in hospital for any major illnesses, operations or whatsoever during that period. Late in 2016, I decided to downgrade to a lower plan until October 2017 when my husband decided to take his own medical aid and moved us over. Unfortunately that did not work. I then decided to move back to my Medical Aid in March. Since then my application has been going in circles. Last year September 2017 I did a colonoscopy which was approved and paid for by Discovery Health. Last week, I received the attached email from Discovery , requesting that I submit the colonoscopy report. I didn’t get a report, the Doctor only gave me a verbal feedback that the colonoscopy was clear. I thought that Discovery is able to access such information. Please check your files and contact the Doctor accordingly for the report. I am very disappointed by the way Discovery Health is treating me after being a member for over 17 years.

Reviewer Update
I received a call from Discovery Health on Friday, 11 May, The gentleman who called me said that he will ask the New Business department to request the colonoscopy report directly from the Doctor. Since then I have been inundated with e mails from Charne Scott and Minette Mlandu saying that the matter is still outstanding. I tried to explain that I have been promised that Discovery will attend to the matter. The response given here by Discovery Health is misleading because my matter has not been resolved. To make matters worse, me and my family including a 6 year old, we don't have any medical aid cover to date after being with Discovery Health only for over 17 years.
