Refusing to pay for a PCR test

Upon having a PCR test done.... since my spouse was tested POSITIVE!!! It is the wisest thing to do to also have a test done. I had to pay on the spot, R 850 to be more precise. Pathcare confirmed that Discovery would pay for this!!! Having presented the test and statement to you. YOU DISCOVERY came back that a provider had to give authorization for having this PCR test done. So I contacted my GP... Dr Formica (based in Port Alfred)... She gave you her practice number and a QR code. AND STILL, you are refusing to pay? WHY???? WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO DO??

Yes, you have reached out to me. Requesting the practice number for my GP, I have given you this, then 5 days later ... you request a proof of payment, DONE!! Now it is under review??? REALLY???? My husband has been tested POSITIVE. Don't you agree that it is under current circumstances was the WISEST choice that I had to be tested to???? Unless YOU DISCOVERY would like to be responsible for me spreading COVID19???

Make no mistake!! I WILL go to any form of media outlet I can find, to tell my 'story' about HOW DISCOVERY is treating this!!

I expect MY R 850,00 to be returned into the bank account ASAP
