She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. She had 3 staples put in her head and had a full body cat
scan. The restaurant wants her to use her insurance and they will pay the difference. Is this the correct protocol? She just want the bills paid.

Her own insurance will pay the bills unless the restaurant volunteers (in writing) to pay them for her--and even if they do, your mother (and her insurer) are liable if the restaurant failed to honor its obligations, since the person getting treatment is ultimately responsible for the medical bills. She and/or her insurance should pay; if the restaurant does not then reimburse her for any out-of-pocket amounts she has to pay, she could sue them for the money. (So pay first; get reimbursed later.)
