My doc charged out of date insurance in Oct 2019, never alerted me of insurance denial, and just sent me a bill for full payment. Who do I call?

Simply put, this is the problem: in October 2019, my doctor billed my old insurance for lab work (I had received new insurance in August 2019). I am just now getting a bill for $800 noting that the old insurance denied the claim. A snag in this issue is that, as of August 2020, I have even newer insurance than the insurance that would have covered this 2019 lab work. All of three insurance policies are through the same employer and provided by Anthem, however.

Since I was actually covered at the time, I believe the insurance policy that was covering me should pay this bill.

I am trying to figure out who to call to figure this out because both the doctor’s office and the insurance have made me wait 20 minutes on hold before hanging up. I don’t want to wait longer only to be told to call somebody else.
