Covid tests not covered by Discovery when done at Dischem test centres

I have two Covid tests (R420 x 2) that Discovery do not want to reimburse me for because Dischem test centre did not provide a ICD-10 code on the invoice. Dischem says it provided the codes they agreed with all the medical schemes they don't have anything to add. Im sitting in the middle. When you go for these tests nowhere do they tell you when you are paying that certain medical aids, like Discovery will not be reimbursing you.

What a monumental waste of time. After 3 weeks, finally got feedback today after logging my query on Hello Peter. The feedback looks like a standard computer generated reply, exactly what I got to start off with. Yes I know I don't have a ICD code, that is what my query was all about. Does not look like my query was given any thought. Even if the outcome was not what I expected, I would have appreciated a call by someone explaining their thinking more, in stead of sending me the standard reply I got initially, via email.
