Delta networks hospital

I am so shocked now that I am about to give birth to my second baby in two months time. I am in Estcourt kzn, and the only private hospital that services Estcourt, Bergville, Colenso and Ladysmith Is Laverna hospital. So , I thought that I will have to risk 1 and half hour from Estcourt to Ladysmith. Only to find that yesterday discovery want me to pay R5960 upfront! because Laverna is not in the delta network! all they have there are hospitals under durban and PMB!. Now my dr, the one who assisted me with my prematured first baby operates in Laverna. He knows my conditions and risks. Where am I going to deliver my baby now? On top of all, I have been paying my doctor from my pockets throughout my antenatal visits because discovery CAN NOT pay him. I do not have R5960! How can I leave my doctor now and travel to durban just to satisfy Discovery health?I miss my old med aid who had no issue with any hospital
