Essential Dynamic Smart Hospital Network?

[Lefty309]

Hi I'm on the Essential Smart plan with Discovery and want to downgrade to Essential Dynamic Smart. It's R340 less per month with the difference being you can only choose hospitals that are part of the Dynamic Smart network which is a subset of hospitals on the Smart network. Before making the transition the question is how do I find a list of these hospitals? The Discovery hospitals pdf found here tells me to use their medical provider search tool on the app or website, but it requires me to login and as a result only shows me Smart network locations, not Dynamic Smart locations. There doesn't seem to be a way to filter either.

Hi Lefty309,
I came across your post. Did you find out more about Dynamic Smart? I am debating whether Essential Smart or Dynamic. Seems like the only difference is which hospitals are on the list. The hospitals for the former, I found, are on their website but not for Dynamic. You most likely live in a different area than I do, but I just thought which one did you end up signing up.

Thanks,

it's the hospitals in the smart list but you have to use the stupid app and nearest one to your location. Can't picks and choose
