Discovery lies and manipulation

So my son was 13 months old, in February this year he had a temperature of 40 degrees + , I called discovery and they said he must go and it will be covered. It’s not like we went straight away but actually monitored him over a few hours. So I now have a bill for the emergency. But they said it’s a casualty! Please read this.

E EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION An emergency medical condition, also referred to as an emergency, is the sudden and, at the time unexpected onset of a health condition that requires immediate medical and surgical treatment, where failure to provide medical or surgical treatment would result in serious impairment to bodily functions or serious dysfunction of a bodily organ or part or would place the person’s life in serious jeopardy. An emergency does not necessarily require a hospital admission. We may ask you for additional information to confirm the emergency.

The lady I spoke to said this was not an emergency and fought with me as she said the above was not true. I’m tired of discovery charging me just under 4000 a month but they will manipulate their system not to pay! I’m now going to go back to every canceled claim and will continue to fight them!

I have no peace of mind with discovery.
How do you pay so much but are afraid of using their services because they always try to slither their way out
