WITHHOLDING TREATMENT FOR MY SON!

My son has his medical aid with Discovery and is on the very plan that Discovery INSISTED that he have in order to get his treatment for his Chronic condition which, is approved by Discovery. Every year he needs a scope to monitor his condition. Every year we fight to get his treatment approved. This year, Discovery have stated that this procedure, which has been done for the prior 4 years in hospital, must be done in the Dr's rooms as this is the new "trend'. Failing which, I have to pay R 6800 up front to the hospital. There is no other manner in which to monitor his condition which Discovery is now making impossible. His specialist, for what I am sure are sound reasons, does not do this procedure in his rooms and I do not have these funds. So not only is my son being denied treatment, according to Discovery I must now also find another specialist. Both this specialist and the hospital are contracted in and as such, meet the criteria for treatment. The specialist that they want me to use will most probably be contracted out and probably, beyond my affordability. I have also been told that should the scope come back clear, which coincidentally, is the hope given that my son has been on extensive treatment to put the disease in remission, I WILL NOT be refunded the up front payment as according to Discovery, we have, I assume, wasted their time and money. My son has spent the entire duration of his treatment fighting for his life and treatment which Discovery measures against their profit margin! This time,Discovery have taken this to a whole new level!
