Charged for someone else's blood tests

<p>On the 6th May I received a frantic call from our GP saying that he had received some alarmimg blood results from Lancet diagnosing that my daughter was diabetic. We were in a panic. However, after calling Lancet it was established that the blood taken was not my daughters! She had blood tested on the 17th and 25th April- not on the 5th May! Lancet accepted the mistake and identified that the patient had a similar name to my daughter - so they just billed our medical aid. I have been trying since them to get the claim reversed, but Lancet is refusing to pass a credit. Today (15th June) the update that I received is "the account Is still under investigation".</p> <p>This is since they have accepted that it was their error on the 6th May.</p> <p>They should be passing a credit to my medical aid (so my savings fund can be replenished). And sort out claiming from the right person - who they have identified. If I was that person - I would sue them for sharing private information and not reporting critical blood results timeously.</p>
