BankMed Dodging To Pay Claim With Technicalities

We got pre-authorisation for my wife's delivery and we were not informed by BankMed that we need to only to use BankMed appointed paediatrician. Today we receive a huge bill of R5900, of which they only paid R1818.60. Only now when I call them am I informed what I was supposed to do then, mind you I have gotten pre-authorisation way long before delivery. How is that fair business practice? How are such details not mentioned even once on the pre-authorisation confirmation? Is BankMed trying to run away from footing the bill when it's time but they take premiums monthly without a problem? VERY DISAPPOINTED.
