They Want Payment… But Won’t Say What For

Good day. Pardon if my email might sound a bit rude, but as i am typing I am trying to be civil. I recently undergone a hysterectomy so I am aware that a lot of blood was drawn and tested done etc. Why I am upset is that I did receive an invoice for almost R6000 - which if my medical aid do not pay I will have to pay it. But the terminology on the invoice was unclear to me. I asked for a description of what test it was and the response i received blew my mind. I must ask my dr to explain? Really? Why the hell must I pay my gynecologist R2000 for a consultation to just to get a description of what type of test was done? I know she explained there will be tests done for blood count, sugar, rabies, Herpes, hepatitis, mad ***, cancer whatever is needed. I do not need a detailed description on why - I want to know what? If it's something deadly or cancerous my gynae will eventually call me. And if it was something like cancer, I would have heard from her by now, it's been 2 weeks since the test was done. I just want to know what histology block per sample means. Refer to invoice No.: WXZ34427 . Lancet invoices shows blood count or cholesterol or what ever. If i need to pay for something I need to know at least what test was performed.
