Unnecessary 3 month waiting period

I wish I could give Discovery 0 stars!

We have recently moved from Fedhealth to Discovery Medical Aid, after being with Fedhealth for ten years. Due to financial reasons we have moved to Discovery.

We have now been placed on a 3 month waiting period, simply because my husband requires an operation for his hernia, and because we are both on chronic medication .

I find this extremely discriminatory and as a doctor, I am appalled at how you are treating your new members, simply because they have existing conditions.

If my husband's hernia complicates because of your silly waiting period, I will definitely take this up to whatever channels exist and expose Discovery for the heartless way they treat their members.

Our reference number is ***.

I have filled in your complaints forms.

Please revise your decision on the unnecessary 3 month waiting period.
