Discovery always rejected valid claims due to staff not reading properly

I just got a claim rejected due to an invalid practice number. I went to verify the practice number myself on PCNS - it immediately showed as valid with the correct name etc. of the service provider on my very first query when I inserted the practice number. This is so unacceptable. Eight out of 10 times when I submit a claim myself discovery rejects in for invalid reasons - mostly because they do not read. Or maybe for other reasons? I am very busy and to have to always have to resolve issues that are not necessary in the first place is extremely frustrating. All I ask is for Discovery to apply its mind or at least train their staff.

Reviewer Update
I want to change the review to make it more positive. Discovery managed to resolve the query and I appreciate it that they have put in a lot of effort to do so. Many places do not, so this is important. To me it was a matter of principle and not about the money.
