Discovery Health
Payment in advance

I have been a member of Discovery for the last 5 to 10 years.

I never had a problem with Discovery medical aid before.

Every time I phone discovery they tell me they are looking after my best well-being.

I am on chronic medication because of my high blood pressure.
Being a member of discovery my wife recently went to hospital for a checkup, for admission she had to pay R2400 cash.

My monthly contribution to discovery for the current year was in the region of R4400 of which my employer paid 50%. Recently I was retrenched and my total contribution to discovery for the current year has been approximately R30000.
Discovery paid medical expenses for me of approximately R14000.

Subsequent to my retrenchment Discovery have requested me to pay R3700 for "monies paid by them to me in advance".

I know from my lifetime experience that only certain professions request payment in advance and I don't belong to one of these professions.

I have not been employed now for six months and I don't think I'll find a job because of my age.

If discovery is requesting this money from me then I would like to make a request to them to pay me an amount of R2mil because they are looking after my healt
