Medical aids Don't pay for covid test at Dischem

Dischem test centres do not inform you of covid tests not covered by medical aids. I went for a test, now my medical aid refuse to pay me back because Dischem do not want to use the correct tariff codes. Please make sure before going to Dischem for covid testing. They take your money knowing the medical aids are not going to pay you back. This is the email they send to me: " Please note that we have tried our utmost best to provide you with an invoice you can use to claim from your medical aid.

Kindly keep the following in mind: Dis-Chem cannot change or add any other codes on the Invoice we provide on request.

Service are advertise as a Card /Cash payment services.

ICD10 U07.1 U07.2 codes are correct for negative and positive results and the Tariff code 9995 are linked to the Nappi code for Clinic Services by Pharmacies via Clinic Sisters.

Medical aids have not given Dis-Chem as a Pharmacy codes to claim for members for covid test.

We cannot add the Lab Practice number or lab codes on invoices at all."

No further changes can be made to the codes included in these invoices."

Why don't they tell you this before the test now my medical aid refuse to pay back my R850...
