Discovery Health
Discovery has double standards

I had my checkup done at my doctor and blood was drawn and sent for testing ie. glucose etc. The cholestrol test and blood pressure test was done in the doctors rooms. Discovery refused to pay for the cholestrol test of R26, 00 done by the doctor and admitted they would have paid for it to be tested at Lancet and deducted from my MSA . Discovery would have been happy for the test to cost hundreds of rands BUT the same test that their teams give to their very own customers at Wellness days on a daily basis is acceptable. In other words, if their teams give the tests, it is acceptable but not when it is given by a medical doctor. Obviously this reeks of double standards as they don't want their clients to conserve the MSA balances. Incidently, they paid my doctors consultation fee.
