DISCOVERY HEALTH: FLEXI_CARE

Having been with Discovery for a number of years in the past and then joining them a year ago to discover the shocking service provided on more than one occasion... Firstly my pater was on Discovery Key Care Core Plus with added benefits... I paid over a R1000 a month for her policy alone- to discover recently that they do not even assist her with a Mammogram or Ultra-Sound , for a lump in her breast. Which can be Life-Threating. We have had Issues at the Optometrist for her and the only thing they did was pay the dentist a R250 Impression Fee. In my case - I have Discovery Key Care , with Vitality which comes to R1100 per month. I have been paying over 8 months now... I had a lump in my throat with which i woke up with one Saturday Morning, I was refused help from Alberton Netcare unless i signed an acknowledgement that i would owe the Hospital over R3000 for Admission. On top of this i went to my preferred Doctor at Ackermed in Primrose- who referred me to Life - RoseAcres Hospital in Primrose for an Ultra-Sound which I paid out of Pocket R1500 for. You pay all this money every month , for them to simply cover a consultation fee valued at R250-450 per visit limit to a number of GP visits which is Shocking ! And on top of this , They are and have not covered my Optometrist Eye Test of R780. Its the principle that that there was potentially 2 life threating injuries and in one case still is , with red tape and refusal on Discoveries end. Really poor display of Health Care.
