Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Delayed Authorization for Biopsy, discovery sitting with auth for two weeks. Claiming will only cover if it is cancer .

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about the ongoing delays and lack of clarity in authorizing payment for my biopsy procedure. Despite my full compliance with your requirements, the process has been needlessly prolonged, leaving me in limbo and severely impacting my healthcare.

To detail the situation: 1. I was initially informed that I needed a GP referral, which I obtained promptly. However, I was then told the GP I consulted was “incorrect.” 2. The radiologist’s referral, which should have been sufficient as she is the only medical professional qualified to recommend a biopsy, was rejected. 3. You then required a specialist referral, which I managed to secure after all the previous back-and-forth. 4. Despite fulfilling every requirement, there is still no finality, and I am left with no clarity or authorization to proceed.

These arbitrary and medically nonsensical requirements have caused significant delays. I was forced to reschedule my procedure last week and now face the same issue again this week, with no resolution in sight.

As a loyal customer who has diligently paid my premiums for years and has never made a claim, I find this treatment unacceptable. I have followed all your convoluted processes, yet you continue to give me the runaround, disregarding the urgency of my health needs.

I demand immediate action to resolve this matter: 1. Authorize payment for my biopsy procedure without further delay. 2. Provide a clear explanation for why the process has been so unnecessarily complicated and inconsistent. 3. Commit to reviewing and improving your internal procedures to prevent such inefficiencies in the future.

Should this issue remain unresolved within 48 hours, I will escalate my complaint to the Council for Medical Schemes and other relevant regulatory bodies.

I urge you to treat this as a matter of urgency. Your failure to act promptly is not only affecting my health but also eroding my trust in Discovery Health.

I await your immediate response.

Sincerely, Mishka
