Dear Ms. Pieterse

As discussed and further to our telecom, all information supp**** to us by your referring doctor is correct.

However, the claims were rejected due to incorrect processing by the medical aid, and through no fault of PathCare, as we supp**** the correct ICD10 code.

We have since followed through with medical aid on your behalf, further to your resubmission of the claims.

We trust that the accounts will be settled accordingly.

Assuring you of our best intentions at all times.

Yours sincerely,

Below Reply from Gems, if this is a path care error why must I pay, if I had sufficient funds on this plan,

Good day

Thank you for alerting us to your claim concerns.

As indicated the account was submitted electronically by the service provider with the ICD-10 code as Z01.7. Please note that the information received cannot be changed or amended by the Scheme and that we will require an amended claim, reflecting the correct ICD-10 code, from the healthcare service provider.

We trust that this is in order.

Kind regards

The GEMS online team

Thank you, I am aware of the history with gems. Gems rejected the claims due to incorrect icd code on invoices, whether it was refered to the correct code on the statement as we both know that reconciliations gets done on statements and not payment, therefore I understand why gems have a query, I will refer this. Please forward me the invoices not statement, just like it is my ultimate responsibility to pay this account it is the suppliers responsibility to bill according to the correct codes. Please stop passing the buck,
