Discovery Health admits its system is prone to flag black doctors sabcnews

Hearings into allegations that medical aid schemes are racially profiling black and Indian medical practitioners continue in Centurion on Thursday.It denied claims that it targets black medical practitioners for fraud, waste and abuse investigations.

The medical aid giant says its system is more likely to flag and investigate black medical practitioners than their white counterparts because there have been cases where doctors committed crime to assist poor patients. The company says fraud, waste and abuse are the main drivers of claims. It says it works on tip-offs and red-flags on the firm’s system.

In his response, Broomberg said: “I don’t think I can go so far as to say that either than to say that it is possible that when you look at the doctors who are serving the relatively lower income families within medical schemes, it is possible that a higher proportion of those doctors are black.”

We have no political power to deal with all these segregations.. Those we sent to parliament are just happy to flash lavish lifestyles on social media than to fight corrupt systems

I stopped using that medical aid for same reason.

Julius_S_Malema A black independent pharmacies

This Masepa must fall... All black people need to stop from using This masepa

_Tha2o0

be4 we jump to a race card, i think it's high time we as blacks do introspection and ask ourselves whether we haven't given them enough reasons to suspect us. haven't we normalise crime as our way of life, given any excuses we may come up with? if so, let's not cry foul treatment

Julius_S_Malema Discovery_SA that's why I'm in the process of leaving this stupidity and foolishness

Why are we still supporting Discovery_SA

I was using this medical aid in 2017 August I went to Indian doctor they did not pay this doctor at all I phone them they said they will investigate up until I cancel the medical aid now this doctor handed this account over to recollection cause he is an Indian they can't

Let us all cancel anything that has to do with Discovery_SA it an antiblack racist company😠😠

Run run run but you can't hide, after months of unashamed denial to discredit the aggrieved doctors seems like their maths equation recommends for them to come out in the open before the truth smears pie over their faces DiscoveryHealth

Corrupt doctors must be criminally charged and go to jail. Discovery_SA

samprasnoel Tyooo kusemhlabeni apha nosoloko nikhalaza kodwa y’all get subsidized while the least pay for their full contribution. Haywethu

Boycott Discovery and start your own insurance schemes otherwise cry me a river

QuotedReplies

They lied and nothing is gonna happen to them

Fascists

LeratoMannya The sad part is that their number 1 clients are probably black people.

Dilo tsa lena lady4rtune

Full-on victim, racist headline. Of course it will flag more black doctors, since there are more of them.

So it is because I'm black 🤔

Discovery_SA is trash, run by trash. It crawls with actuaries hired for the sole purpose of fleecing customers. And now this ... 'Get over apartheid' they said. Same Discovery rejected my insurance claim on grounds of dishonesty, despite verification. A trash organisation.

I had to leave my very good Doctor because of this Discovery nosense

Julius_S_Malema Julius_S_Malema its a sad sad state of affairs! We’ve been crying for your support ✊🏻 siphelile abelungu 😫😫😫

How can you change your medical aid if your company forced you to be with discovery?

Sell Sell Sell

At that time their biggest income is from us...

I have dropped this ones after I sensed some resistance when settling some of my consultation claims by my DR

We all knew

We not done yet in this era

Would you choose someone who got 30% ,to ‘cure’ you?

I ask who writes these algorithms? What i the democratic of a typical senior full stack programmer?

Sies!

Nonsense that thing shouldn't be tolerated in our era

Naledsmab 0.o

📢👂👂

Yeah , like at Wits university. Black students always complain about racism in that field and that they get failed unreasonable. Nkosazana ndlamini Zuma once raised that issue with Adam Habib

kodwa senzeni na emhlabeni? sibuthwele ubunzima

Senzeni nah sizwe esinsundu

Not prone, programmed. Just like insurance companies charge young black adults more

Why can we just mobilize and move to other medical aid schemes that are pro us. Black owned. We are the drivers of the economy tlheng!

Apartheid South Africa!!....

Its time we create our own.

Mara this system didn't programme itself mos 😒 Discovery is out of order

AdvoBarryRoux 'reported' this to us early last year

COO to raffle Lamborghini to fund rural school toilets?

We have many medical aids in SA and some are black owned... Can we stop with dis Twitter rage and use our money in the rite way... Show dis companies who holds the cash... BlackChild you are on ur own

And the explanation by discoveryhealth on Radio702 earlier on JoanneGJoseph ‘s show does not add up🤔

Discovery_SA cannot even pay for a dental consultation. You

English please call

That is discrimination based on race... Discovery clients must sue it down

Ok a civil suit must follow..

JoshuaSegowa

What the hell...🙄

We knew all along

Unfortunately in a racist society like our even people you trust to do the job fairly will be caught by their racist upbringing and discriminate against Africans.

Legendary racists nd parasites.... they listed in London nd spend or keep most of the cash there. Sponsoring English premier league, a South African company..!

tumisole I am in this industry. Not only the black over qualified dr’s are flag even the blacks who need to receive a refund from a service rendered by a black dr they take years to be paid. I always see “under investigation” then after 6 months the dr is more qualified.

South Africa, Julius Malema is the man to deal with this

Hmmm so who built the algorithm and who authorized it, UAT tested it and took it to production?

Computers are programmed by human beings.

When the sun is too hot blame it on the moon.

Don't impose yourselves to systems that despise an Afrikan agenda, they'll remind you that all they wanted was your nice pocket and that you're not one of them.

Julius_S_Malema kabelodick come here mmata, lerete tena

👨

That bloodyfool is talking nonsense from Discovery_SA the surgeries of white doctors are filled with blacks we are in the majority and yes we are poor.

KatlehoMK Ba kae bo not everything is about colour?

What crimes are committed to assist poor patients? I dont understand this.

Racism at its best

WTF

They need to find the people that developed the system and ask them what was their mandate and who provided that mandate.

Racism’s still alive. They just be concealing it... well not anymore!

Its because some using it to dispense nappies or cash back on medical aid

You mean they admit to being racist! A system cannot be racist it has been programmed or set up by a racist.

Whey am I not surprised? 🙄

Their own creation

Prone? What the fuck is prone Discovery_SA system is DESIGNED to flag blacks mcxm

Racist much?

prone yini leyo, i racism?

Someone in these comments will come and try to justify this. As if discovery health are lying and they don’t know their own systems 🤣🤣

System ya msono!

I really want to move but my company only gives us a limited list of medAid companies, also I have kids, knowing I have savings for over the counter and unlimited hospital gives me peace of mind.......do y’all have any convenient suggestions?

The truth of the matter is that if you are black, educated or not and you have to interact with white people you will never be treated fairly. When it comes to salaries whites get paid more and when it comes insurance premiums black people pay more. Down with white business down

So they're admitting to Racial profiling because they know that they'll get away with it. All of these medical aids, insurance and financial institutions are doing it. Not Yet Uhure, Aluta Continua ✊🏽

Haibo 😱

Black child on your own....

Sad part most of their business comes from cooperate. Most companies used Discovery_SA and employees don't have a choice but to join their racist m.aid. Companies must pull out so they can lose business.

I find myself irritated by this, as if the system is not design by a person to that way.

That time white people are the worst in abusing medical aids because they are friends with Specialists and doctors

MbuyiseniNdlozi LandNoli

Discovery must fall

As if the system designed itself.... Deplorable

The Discovery is useless with immediate effect. Can we start to boycott their products?

Disappointing. Not unexpected, but still, disappointing. smh

Black Doctor's 🤔? I thought they were traditional healers...

And people want to privatise everything lol

🤔

And I was so upset I had to move to another medical aid company because of work 😭😭😭. Structural Racism 🤢🤢

Also known as RACIST!!!!

4ucking racists...

The system was programmed by?

The sad thing is that nothing will happen. Our useless government will do zilch

So what do we call it? Systematic racism?

Wow.. 26yrs after democracy & we are still here.

Sethaby3 What can you expect from Rupert's company!!, not surprised at all. I cancelled my insurance, medical aid and life cover from these guys

CYRIL RAMAPHOSA S FRENDS SYSTEM 🤔

sindivanzyl woza ngapha....

What is the DrZweliMkhize CyrilRamaphosa MYANC what should be done.

It’s not the system, they mustn’t lie. Once the system picks up an irregularity it’s people who go and investigate the doctors. They also decide the punishment and guess who gets a second/third or even fourth chance? Also please ask them to post a pic of their forensic department

All systems are like that

For interest sake, which medical is good so far and affordable atleast. Recently joined Discovery from Sasolmed. I dnt wanna find myself stranded when I go consult.

What fuckery is this?

Black pple r automatons, pure morons! U only need to see the things we trend, Somhalewhitewedding, Sbwl VS Discovery. I really blame the Zimbabweans and stinking Nigerians for the well built SystemicRacism running smoothly in all sectors of SouthAfrica's Economy

👀👀👀 'The medical aid giant says its system is more likely to flag and investigate black medical practitioners than their white counterparts because there have been cases where doctors committed crime to assist poor patients.'

Black Doctors should stop taking patients using Discovery_SA medical aid. The system will hurt a few patients who will either go to other Dr's that aren't victimized or they'll change. Phakama SizweMedical Ixesha lifikile

Discovery has an algorithm that looks for strange claim behaviour by medical specialists. It works with Practice numbers only, it cannot racially profile. This fraud was discovered when medical aids started cooperating. 1 Dr would have had to see 186 patients in 1 day. Its fraud.

Mm9 I’m

South African government careless that time.

majority of black people deserve the sh1t live they r programmed to live! Now that we officially know what has always been in the open, a few people will make the right noises, but, we all, will take no proper action, just wait for the next revelation so that we can complain.

Where is afriforum , we need your help guys , persecute the people as they've broke the law

Who created the system?

and they will get away with it?

Oh really

This will happen until Black people develop their own private health system. No surprises here 🚮🚮🚮

I have been wondering why private companies force people to use .

Can we make the boycottdiscovery and discoverymustfall trend because this is one hell of a msunery system

Just less than 10 years ago when I used to be under this Company's employment at 55 West Street, They have built themselves a state of the art Campus across Sandton City, this as a result of members employed by government, factories, mines represented by Unions. KhandaniM

Racist company that destroyed so many Doctors lives. Some of these Doctors are my clients and they were brutally abused emotionally and psychologically as well as financially by Discovery and other medical aides.

If 1m blacks can spend only R1k pm on a medical aid then we have R1bn n then we make decisions dt favors us n empower each other economically.Let’s build an economic ecosystem 4 blacks so as to fight discrimination.Let’s target d pocket to force change.Invest in black businesses

We need to start boycotting these racists cooperations

Where are d black businesses 4us to support?It’s about time we invest in the businesses that loves n appreciate us.U can’t hate us but likes our money,it’s a crap system.I request all black people to start making informed choices abt who they spend their money on.Spend on blacks!

Mxm Fuck Them.

even banks .... l once opened a bank account with another bank ...three months down the line ...a big corporate wired money to my account ,it took them 1 week to release the funds after the payer had communicated & insulted them for late delivery due to them! we sued them hard!

Even when we make it through all the shit we have to get through banks, medical aids, insurance companies etc are setting up systems to slow down our progress. 😠😠

Discovery released the nominations for board of trustees forms... Let's put our people

They forget that majority of their clients are black

Hey MYANC See what's ure allowing in our country..

So it's systemic racism and nothing is done about that?

And discoveryhealth denied and denied..this is disturbing

DiscoveryHealth admits that they have been willingly using a racist system sabcnews

Imagine what they would do with your money in their bank!

Why dont we have our own medical aid,which accept traditional doctors?

Stronger together

SaucySeipats_

This should be trending and do what we did to OldMutualSA and eNCA

MamorenaL we are definitely moving from Discovery_SA

So happy I've left Discovery.

Phathuriplys you see your people?😎🙄

We need to audit all these white own financial services companies to determine if the systems they used for vetting and determining risks are not programmed to discriminate black people.

I cancelled my medical aid with them Years ago . Guys abelungu ......The Pits

I’m ready to switch.... recommendations for alternative are welcome bahlali...

HermanMashaba boss the is from within not outside. A stranger can't come mess in your house if it's in order. This is the real fight not the one of hating your fellow black from other African countries

SA is still a racist white supremacist country. ANC fooled you. They are just apologetic slave blacks who never wanted to free anyone except themselves in order to have a seat at the master's table. This is happening because of that

It 👏🏾 was 👏🏾programmed 👏🏾that 👏🏾way Racists hiding behind a system.

Because they claim they found out that black doctors put in false claims to help poor patients

Hebana ey 😱😱.

Buhle_Nolls Buhle your a life saver hey, I was about to join this medical aid and look now

Wow... it's the system... And we are told to get over racism or that we pull the racism card all the time or that we have victim mentality. Meanwhile even white people's 'systems' are racist. We are told this by people who have no experience living life as black people.

Sata frika ya Rolihlahla

But you guys are stronger together mos 😂😂😂😂

Support black here solvency_insure

Eish what is their profit from this?

It must be reading slegs vir die blanks 😁😁😁😁😁it’s really nonsense, how does it know that this is a black person

That is how the whole system is created

There are black companies but black people dont want to support them

mfullard2 Is 'prone' supposed to mean developed, designed, programmed...its a system after all... like a system that divides a country along racial lines... a system like APARTHEID. ..?... justasking

Like housing finance institutions systems are prone to flag black home buyers?

Phumi_prosper

The system was designed by Discovery health. A computer system is programmed by the people. So that means it is true that they racially profiling. This is bizzare

it's simple black people must stop supporting discovery and you will see how fast they change all this nonsense. We have power but we don't use it We are money to them ,take away money and you will see things change

Do they buy houses with bonds like us, I'm not sure

Julius_S_Malema Set to flag black doctors is it.

Serious

Practicing medicine while black.

I don’t like that, but you Blacks you know better than me how often you are asked if you are black, coloured or white. Also the state prones you. I said it before, such a classification has to stop, everywhere - this is always racist, BEE is racist as well.

Benji_Seitlhamo zinzile_dr What nonsense is this?

Now it makes sense why doctors marched to your quarters few months ago

So you programmed it to do so.... So you cant say that you dont discriminate against black doctors.

This is JUST PLAIN RACISM... 🤨

Racial profiling

Open your own things this people won't survive with our us. The problem with black people we were convinced that we can't do anything for ourselves. We look down on our ability and approve what white people give to us. It's sad

Julius_S_Malema So they just did something many whites will ever do. Admit to their racist tendencies

This!!!!!!!In an African country of all places 😲?Yinde lendlela wemntomnyama 😡😡😡😡😡!

Black people change your medical provider, fuck Discovery_SA

Our government is the one that promote this nonsense.... If these big companies are able to do as they please, where are they?

Not only Discovery but FNBSA as well.

High time maybe all black people cancel their service with discovery

Maybe black customers must leave Discovery Health instead of supporting a business skewed against them based on the colour of skin of their doctors.

Well done to TembekaNgcukai1 and the team 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The very same black people will be bragging about discovery bank soon. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Yet black people will continue to support them🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Discovery_SA , I'm cancelling all my insurances with you (medical aid, retirement annuity & my investement), that's the only way I can deal with racist, shift. Loadshedding , eskom, tembisa. We are a majority , let's spread the word!!

I'm cancelling my medical aid with Discovery, NHI is also not coming into reality it's still a buzz word in Government.

All the insurance companies, banks n everyone

This is not new. The SAn system was not meant for black people. Tell us something we don't know😏😏😏

Adrian is a Black made Millionaire!

Who are the founders, board members and shareholders? They must be named and shamed!

Moved my mom to a different medical aid cos discovery is trash

Simple English pulizi

I have said it before that this companies are making money through blacks and they treat us like criminals. All of them it’s not just discovery that’s why blacks billionaires/millionaires must make similar companies and destroy this wmc shit that still treat blacks like slaves

Join Sizwe-sechaba medical aid

Can you just stop complaining and take your business to your people. We are busy seeking acceptance and inclusion from a system that is meant to oppress you instead of building our own. We can be defeating as people yeses....someone tag all black owned insurance companies.

The only time we're united as black ppl is whn we're complainin abt the system dat is disrespecting us as people. Why aren't we uniting 2 starting our own banks, insurance companies, schools&many other institutions that can benefit us&leave these ppl alone. Im tired f ths.

DrMusaMthombeni 10% of whites own South Africa still,BEE is for government to benefit,small businesses not funded cos of corruption.

Nothing new here

They. Made. It. That. Way

Blacks are clowns instead of demonstrating destroying schools these are the right places to target the demonstrations at.

been knew

Julius_S_Malema We vote for our own disenfranchisement and then cry foul when things like this happen. We are our own worst enemy actually. 🤦‍♂️

But Discovery is not the only institution to do that even banks and insurance. Just that others wont admit because they will have to payback.

They are prone to the black clients also

This should be broadcasted live.

Discovery admits its a racist organisation

Julius_S_Malema Why do you keep trying to fit in with pink people? Remember this: they depend on the majority to make profits and the majority are native South Africans. We should've invested on our own systems from 1994 and bled their businesses out. How to deal with these people isn't hard!

Why don't they say they don't want black doctors

Tjo how I had to fight Discovery health in payinv my claim becoz they had flagged my township doctor it tooks months, threats and very ugly emails

You know what is interesting is that even if u tell black people that these institutions are inherently racist against u, our black people will never stop using services from companies like this. Sometimes we must stop the blame game and start looking at ourselves.

BonitasMedical you rock !

No news here....what is suprising about this...i cancelled my membership Ages ago.

Julius_S_Malema Banks, insurance companies... Kore we still second citizens in our mother land, mxm

Useless!!!!

Problem is, where does one move to that is not doing the same thing?

Because their algorithm is programmed to scrutinize anyone that is black.

Oh, it's the system problem Discovery? Why blame the system instead of taking full responsibility and address this blatant racism?

There r many Drs commiting this so called fraud and it has nothing 2 do with skin color Discovery needs to catch a wake up. ALL these medical aid schemes shuld focus on the aid and not the scheming. People pour their money into medical care only to be told they not covered.

mfullard2 Opportunity for other business who do not 'flag black doctors' to come in.

Yoh 😢

Evn PicknPay cashiers flack black customers

Probably the case with majority of medical aids. They give you a list of 'associated' doctors to choose from. You'll go through an uphill to get a black doctor. 😩

Many black people vote for ANC,in return ANC caters for whites using their votes and show them the middle finger.Umntomnyama uyiqhelile intsokolo kaloku yena,it has become a norm, that's a fact.

If they admit to it means the consequences are much lesser than the original charges, which we all know are true.

Discovery health Its good to admit ur wrongs.

Julius_S_Malema Discovery_SA nani kanti nine tendency 😳

sszonke The system is programmed to flag corrupt doctors who give sick letters for lazy workers. If the facts later show it's black doctors, it doesn't make the system wrong. The doctors are still being flagged because they are useless and corrupt! STOP being corrupt, be honest!!!!!

Insurance companies FLAGS all BLACK people.

KhandaniM Ooooh my goodness, even systems can be 'racist'? Just don't know what robotics, drones and other Artificial Intelligent devices machines will be like on 'racism' come full-swing of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) dispensation! Jewazzz!

Many more organisations still do this in S.A

Unfortunately Discovery is not the only medical aid prone to flagging black Drs for fraud. GEMS and others stand accused of this deplorable practice.

The system is racist...

It will be a terrible mistake for black South Africans to entrust their monies with Discovery bank.

i have canceled my medical aid with them

QuotedReplies

Is ANC a Funeral Parlour specialising in burrying/giving people official funerals/running memorial services called ANC FUNERAL PARLOUR

Admits.

So black doctors must get peanuts from the black clients,other doctors must get thousands from the black & other nations

And blacks will still support them

I hope black people walk away from Discovery health

Happy to take black customers money but unhappy to pay the black doctors who attend to us. We are tested daily 🤞

AyzoBusakwe 😭😭

That’s what we refer to as systematic racism; The system is so white supremacist such that it victimises black people, even subconsciously in some few cases.

Still a long way to go with this Cow-ntry 🤔

I used to work for them, it’s not a system, it’s people. Discovery employees are constantly being threatened to do it and don’t question this practice. It’s kind of the “taboo” topic there.

Foreign Investors don't want black people!

Julius_S_Malema And nothing will happen, they know as black people we dont have neccessary competence and capacity to solve this issues.

Because most Dr's and us ekasi use medical aid for fraud. Umuntu afake omunye under his name just to get cash or because they related or something, oviaas they found out and now this

JackDevero LandNoli You might want to read this.

ngwenya_t

Julius_S_Malema Can we then cancel Discovery_SA discoverybecause we continue to fill their pockets and they dont like us.

Julius_S_Malema The system picks up strange behavior or a constant difference in scripts and bills and this more than often happens to be black Doctors . If they weren't stealing it would not flag them Julius_S_Malema

WTF did i just read?

Julius_S_Malema All white businesses are flagging black people. Remember the banks home loans charging black people high rates🙄🤔

KhandaniM They don't care anymore bcos many companies are using their medical aid.

Julius_S_Malema 😢

That time black people in this country love bragging about how much they pay in medical aid fees to Discovery. 😷😷😷🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

They don’t care anymore because they are going to loot the NHI

MyBeastovio see your service provider

I won't lie but all these companies have no interest in serving / servicing black people. And with the majority being black people that support these companies its ridiculous to think they won't even survive without us black people. Sad reality is they have no business without us

The sad part is that many Black professionals are still going there. While they admitted themselves that they're racist. We still joining their medical aid we're majority in this country if we can boycott them. They'll collapse.

yhoo!!💔💔💔

FeliMkhatshwa

Sad that blacks ppl fight for inclusion in a space thats being kept afloat by their contributions as a majority. Shouldn't the fight been for starting up our own instead? Or utilise our financial might as a majority to command these very spaces?

If you vote ANC you cant complain about this. You voted for it.

We as Africans underestimate the buying power we have. Boycott these racist companies. Institutionalized racism must be stopped. Government must come hard on racist practices. Discovery_SA

So they admit they've been lying the whole time and basically are admitting they racists! Can't make this stuff up! Only in SA seriously🙄

drknwitallsa The best decision to make was to cancel Discovery_SA medical Aid

If only black people knew the power they have.

system made by people... wow🤔

The whole economy rigged against one race. Banks charge higher interest rate, insurance industry...... Equality my foot.

It's system is programmed to flag black doctors. Fixed it. So the complaint is valid!

That time I have a medical aid with this company. 😭

Black child ... even after getting educated .... the system doesn't want u 😂

'Zaslav's nine-figure compensation haul was fueled by nearly $117 million in stock options,awards granted through a new employment contract signed last July that will keep the CEO at the helm of Discovery until 2023. Last year,he took $3 million in salary and a $9 million bonus.'

tumisole So its the system not discovery which is racist...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Should read: Discovery Health admits it's system discriminates against black doctors

So basically its racist. And you got trouble saying it. why is it hard to say the word. Discovery admitted to being racist and its still continues with business as usual under the toothleass ANC government.

'Discovery admits their system is racist.'

Trash

“Admits”

Re bona masepa

Prone or designed?

And do u know how much is their medical fee every month?is the most expensive medical aid this company.blackchild u are on ur own.

Julius_S_Malema It is an insult to discovery black clients, the insinuation is that we are crooks

Nna I have accepted even my neighborhood dogs...

KhandaniM Now they admit🤨!

Julius_S_Malema Welcome to SA where everything black is a problem. Enjoy.

Discovery_SA your statement to this

Would like to see every black person boycott Discovery

And this will just be ignored since it’s private!

“Prone”

Please show this criminality live.

So discovery blames a system? Do systems create themselves? Who gives the brief to the system creators? I suspect all systems in the insurance industry work this way

KhandaniM But the government still allows them to do business in SA when will the ANC protect its voters ?

And you’ll blacks being the first to run to its stupid new bank. Sies!!

No wonder a lady I spoke to for authorisation years back for knee replacement/polishing was very eager to finish off our conversation. 'Is it the second knee now?' I've been holding on this due to confidential clauses,they can destroy me now Discovery

Bruh there's really not a level that white people won't stoop low to. None.

'Discovery Health admits its system was not built for Black people'. Easy.

This headline in English would read...?

Those doctors who marched to the Head Quarters been knew.

Know ur Discovery_SA south Africans

Easier for us to scream racism instead of asking the khweshin who’s looking after our interests? Will they be investigated, will they be made to pay a fine & by who? Will they stop the practice & how will Black Doctors know? We are on our own. Govt is on vacation.🙇🏾‍♂️

Look let's be real here, let's understand something, the system flags the culprits who are defrauding the medical aid.... Most just happen to be black!... It's like saying the correctional services target black people!.. It's a harsh reality.. don't catch feelings.. FactsMatter

Discovery is going to use a rented black, probably a female to spin this as an isolated incident

Penxenxe I will be moving my business to someone else.

I guess then black people should cancel their medical aid with Discovery right? We can't be tolerating such nonsense in this day and age. BoycottDiscovery

Tsietsi_Mohale Sad part is that Insurers use black people to market their services

Racist Discovery must fall big time . It is clear Black people are treated as trash and corrupt by this discovery

watu68550651 Which business's system isn't prone to flag blacks,be they partners,suppliers or whatever?

Lucky_Gift_

What about sabc, eNCA, and advertising agencies, they have been doing the same for a while.

I'm sp glad this is coming to the light. These matters need to be dealt with. Institutionalized racism like this must die. There's no room for such in 2020.

😂😂😂There you go....🗣🗣we been knew

But all this time they were denying it. And you hear some people telling us to move on,move on when while the playing fields are still not level?

Whiteness at the best, I'm not surprised...I remember FNB

Wow, wow, how sad for this celebrated company. Can they please explain why their systems do so and why they have left it this long? They defended themselves when the black doctors marched to their sandtown HQ not so long ago, mxm

Where there is smoke there is fire 🔥 💨 There are high chances of finding these medical aids guilty of this bad practice and they must get serious penalties.

Racist bloody system

Discovery must fall! Boycott Discovery Medical Aid, it’s bank, and insurances!!!

This is breaking news... Those committed crime should be dealt with instead of racializing it... Whites who commit the some crime are more likely to get away with it because the system is not designed to flag them...

kubo they never loved Us

Prudy_SA ...'its system is prone' after ALL these years? 👏

This thing of using complex words mast end, how do they flag doctors,

Yet Our_DA was attacking black doctors for raising this issue.
