Lancets incompetence with medical aid dealings leads to debt collection

Our twins were born over a year ago when we first had to deal with Lancets incompetence. Lancet had failed to add any of our children's names to a medical aid claim when they were first born, and so the claims were rejected. When we called our medical aid to clarify, they mentioned that all Lancet needed to do was add our babies names, and resubmit. I kept calling In Jan and Feb, a month after our twins were born telling Lancet to do this. The In June Lancet handed us over to the debt collectors- I called again, explaining the medical aid will approve it, if they can only submit it properly.

In June they actually apologized and said it was due to there incompetence that this had not happened despite me reminding them and told me they would resolve it.

Our twins are now 13 months old, and we are now getting threatening smss and calls from SCS for debt collection.

Lancet, please wake up and actually take responsibility- all you need to do is submit a form. and if you wont do it, admit that- dont make your incompetence the clients problem by just handing them over.

Reviewer Update
Melanie assisted me and has written the amount off. I must say that her customer service skills were impeccable. She also took responsibility of the issue on behalf of Lancet and gave me her personal contact details incase I am ever called by the debt collectors again and also apologized and acknowledged that this was a lancet error and took it forward to the head of department to help make sure this doesn't happen to other customers. All is all, its not about the mistakes the business makes, but how helpful they are after the mistakes happen and for that I take my hat off to Melanie for her awesome awesome service and help
