Discovery Health
Wont pay for treatment at all

Health & Medicine

I was recently diagnosed with OSA (Obstructive sleep apnea), neurologist says i need to use a CPAP machine, sleep apnea effect millions around the world and has become a major threat to quality of life, as it effect different things and adds more problems other then me stopping breathing frequently during the night, i have developed reflux disease, another chronic illness which discovery also wont pay for, i have chronic post nasal drip, dry mouth, sore throat, etc. Discovery refuses to pay for the CPAP machine, they also dont pay for surgery, or any other treatment for OSA, so basically they pay for me getting tested in the sleep clinic and diagnosed, but not for the treatment, im also still waiting for feedback on a query i had about the neuroligist i need to see, its been more then a week now. why am i paying 4k a month? if it wasnt for the fact that being with discovery was compulsary at my company i would have left this so called medical aid years ago, 6 years now and just gets worse.
