Discovery medical insurance not paying for international traveling as stated in their documents

I want to report bad service regarding payment for international traveling to Australia for my Mother in April this year. We had to admit her to a emergency hospital for severe pain in her back and groin. We had to put down a deposit of 945.00 dollars. She was then admitted. Discovery was informed after she was released. Her ticket back to South Africa was changed from December to July to come and see her doctor. She was then admitted in South Africa for treatment. The outstanding balances in Australia after submitting all the relevant documents is still not paid. Payment demands in Australia is very serious and will red flag your credit record. Loose all credibility for no reason at all. Discovery is stalling payment and find excuses demanding more and more document that we do not have. Debt is now accumulating in Australia.

Reviewer Update
As per my report at the top Discover phoned me The guy's name is Eddy and explained that we must only work through him and he will send me an email where I can respond. I did put him and my Brother in Australia in a conference call. He ask for 5 days to get this sorted out with Discovery. Nothing happened. Eddy and Discovery disappeared. The outstanding money is still outstanding and we are left in the dark. Discovery medical insurance in my humble opinion it is a joke. Do not do international travels and think you are covered you are NOT
