How long before ImperialMed will pay the bill?

This matter has been ongoing since the end of September when I received the first notice from Pathcare to inform me that ImperialMed had not paid for the blood tests done. I spoke to the Maternity Programme officer, who asked me to get a letter in writing from my doctor stating the reason why I had had the tests done. This was duly done and I submitted the letter. <br> I was then informed by by the Maternity Programme officer that the tests had been approved and that the account would be paid. She made contact with someone who confirmed that the outstanding monies would be paid to Pathcare.<br> <br> At the end of November I received further notice from Pathcare informing me that monies were outstanding. I again phoned ImperialMed and spoke to numerous people in claims and an officer in the Maternity Programme. She got back to me and confirmed that the outstanding monies would be paid to Pathcare. She also confirmed that all this was detailed in archives on this medical aid number.<br> <br> It is now the end of December and I have received notice from Pathcare AGAIN saying that the monies have not been paid AND final notice stating that if not paid in 15 days I will be handed over to the credit bureau
