Urgent Complaint Regarding Medical Aid Suspension and Lack of Response
I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the recent suspension of my medical aid and the subsequent lack of communication from Discovery Health.
On 20 August 2024, I received notification from Discovery Health that my medical aid had been cancelled or withdrawn. Following this, I contacted your call center and was informed that my medical aid had been suspended for the past three months due to non-payment. This information came as a complete surprise to me as I have consistently made all necessary payments.
To provide further context:
1. **Hospital Approval:** On 21 June 2024, my son underwent a minor operation for which I obtained hospital admission approval from Discovery. However, despite receiving this approval, I later discovered that my medical aid was suspended at that time.
2. **Active Membership Certificate:** On 7 August 2024, I received an active membership certificate from Discovery. Despite this, my medical aid remained suspended.
3. **Submission of Documents:** On 21 August 2024, I completed the required health declaration form and sent it along with proof of all payments for the past three months to ***. Despite this submission, I have yet to receive any feedback, and my medical aid remains suspended.
This situation has caused significant stress and uncer*****y, especially considering that I have fulfilled my obligations by making timely payments and submitting all required documentation. I urgently request clarification on the following points:
- **Reactivation of Medical Aid:** Will my medical aid be reinstated immediately, or is there an issue preventing this?
- **Refund of Payments:** If my medical aid cannot be reactivated, will I receive a full refund of the payments I have made during this period of suspension?
Please treat this matter with the utmost urgency and provide me with a resolution as soon as possible. I look forward to your prompt response.
