They do not want payment

I received an invoice for money outstanding that the medical aid said to me they will pay. I spoke to the medical aid and they said that the hospital had sent them incorrect information about my stay, which is why they have not yet paid the hospital even though they want to do so. They have also said that the hospital is supposed to contact them directly so that they can be paid.

I wanted to e-mail Life Healthcare's billing department to tell them this but their system simply blocks my e-mails, no matter which address I try. How does Life Healthcare expect to get their money when they will not let me e-mail them information and when they have allegedly not provided the correct information to the medical aid about my stay to them.

I have still not heard from the hospital so I have no idea what is happening with the account. I tried again to e-mail them and again the e-mail bounced. Why do none of the hospital's e-mail addresses work?

Has the hospital finally, months later, sent the medical aid the correct information so that it can be paid? Why is it so difficult for Lifecare to follow up, especially when Lifecare wants money?

I have also confirmed with one of your staff that your servers block e-mails from a number of well-known domain names. Why has your IT department never picked up on this and never fixed it? How do they expect patients to reply to e-mails or yo send e-mails to Lifecare to help Lifecare get money?

Is there a senior manager at the Lifecare head office who will sit on the relevant staff to sort out one account as well as the IT system? These are very basic things to get right
