Best medical for dental cover?

[Foxhound5366]

Anybody have a medical aid that covers in-hospital corrective dentistry?

You'd think medical aids would cover this because some dental issues can lead to secondary health complications, but nope ... I know Discovery doesn't, so is there anybody else who does?

Who do you belong to now, and what is better about them compared to Discovery?

I personally can't fault Discovery: they've paid all my claims (nothing major as yet, although some minor hospital stays). Yes it costs a heck of a lot, and most of their product features need a science degree to interpret, but it is pretty commonly accepted by most doctors (which is more than you can say of a lot of the others).

I'd definitely be prepared to move if I could just find a medical aid without horror stories, but if you read Hello Peter there is no such thing as the perfect medical aid.

There is irony - sonin 2007 we were expecting our first and Bill's mounted we surpassed the self payment gap and submitted all the substantive invoices. The gap was 3500 we paid 7400 and still claims were not paid. Only after I put them on hello Peter did they want to rectify but we left them and went to CAMAF THE best we have had.
Now the Irony, my wife moved to another major employer and guess what... back to discovery!!
Recently we asked for approved and covered specialists as we had to use one. Then after paying direct and trying to claim were told not totally covered.
Anyway plenty more to it but our experience has all been bad.

CAMAF is way better than Discovery. That said, they aren't great, which puts Discovery at the arse end of all medical AIDS.
