Discovery Chronic are *********** and don't care

When suffering from chronic conditions, one does not expect to endure months of stress for Discovery Health to cover their obligations. I have an outstanding account since April with Lancet Laboratories for blood tests that Discovery Chronic has agreed to pay. But Discovery Claims keep rejecting it, even though their Chronic Department agrees it is covered. Lancet has handed the account over to a collections agency and I am being harassed. I have logged multiple calls with Discovery, and spoken to several agents in the Chronic Department who assure me it will be sorted. But I never hear from them again - just get a new rejected claim.

Reviewer Update
I read your letter. You are asking me again to get Lancet to add extra ICD-10 codes to the account. This was what Discovery Chronic asked me to do originally in June. It was done then, and Chronic department (Thuli and Lindo) confirmed it was correct.
However your claims department are rejecting it - not even considering it as a PMB claim.
Your letter also states that i should contact the Whatsapp chat. That was my first point of call - but they do not deal with Chronic claims!
Yesterday Lancet lawyers called me and I have a few days to pay this account.
How about a phone call?!
