| Insurance Premiums not Included |
| Amount: $0.00 not covered by insurance |
| Posted by: a user in West Monroe, LA. | Posted: October 17th, 2008 07:10AM |
| The error I see in this information is that no premium costs are included with insured delivery. With my company, depending on deductible, we pay between $7700 to $3600 on premiums per year whether insurance benefit is received or not. To be more relevant, these costs need to be included.......the way the article is written makes it appear otherwise. |

| All we had to POP was $200 to the doctor. Until my son was actually born. I had an emergency C-section and then the bills came pouring in! After it was all said and done we had over $30,000.00 in medical bills pertaining to the birth of our son. We had to file bankruptcy. |

25,000 plus or minus a grand was billed to my insurer. For my child, in the NICU-10days, it was an additional 48,000. Insurance covered most of it (all but 4500-United Health Plan.)Would have been significantly cheaper for vaginal delivery.
[Note, Three years ago Blue Cross HMO blue covered entire emergency csection with a 25.00 copayment.] |

| Cost of having a baby |
| Amount: $8,000.00 not covered by insurance |

| Hospital: Baptist Hospital-Beaches | Your Insurer: Self-Pay |
| Type of Plan: n/a |
| We don\'t have insurance coverage and so are self-pay. At 34 weeks pregnant, so far costs have included: $3159.00 pre-pay to the OB/Gyn, $2000.00 to a specialty ultrasound for the fetal diagnostic and fetal echocardiogram studies, $2000.00 hospital pre-pay, and about $800.00 in lab bills. I don\'t know how much hospital bills for labor and delivery will be, but it is very worrisome. It is absolutely horrible that maternity and delivery are so expensive and are not well covered by most insurance plans |

I'm looking at 3000 $ for hospital, and the obgyn charges of about 2000 $. These are my portions of the bill.
Actual Charges:
Bills from hospital.
38000 $ for delivery. (For mother)
14000 $ for nursery. (For baby)
Doctors' medical group:
8000 $ for all visits up to delivery..
I can't believe these numbers...
All the joy of parenthood is killed by these. This money is coming out of my baby's future... :( |

I had a good experience at the hospital. My son was admitted into NICU for a while, and I had to stay for a little while longer.
I managed to negotiate a staggered payment plan of $200 a month. |

Your article neglects to mention independent midwives who do deliveries at a client\'s home. This can be a very economical option. Costs vary on geography for sure. Some insurance plans do cover ...Tricare did, and Blue Cross Anthem does too.
Midwives can also do VBACs in california by the way...for those who are being discouraged from trying by current hospital policies. |

| We have a deductible/then 80/20 plan. We had a normal vaginal delivery with epidural and stadol - no other special aspects of the delivery. The hospital charges were $36,000 and the epidural charges were $1900. After insurance we paid $3300 for the Hospital and $1200 for the epidural. We were in the hospital Sun-Tuesday. I personally think that the total cost charged by the hospital is rediculous, it's no wonder we have such problems with healthcare in this country. I know that medically trained staff deserve good salaries and that a lot of people were involved with our stay, but that's a shocking price tag for a normal delivery. Think about plastic surgeries - they cost 6 times less...why? Because the consumer is paying for it because it is an elective surgery - as opposed to the insurer paying for it? This system is broken. |

| Was initially told by my insurance that I would only pay $3000 max. Then I got a bill for me and then one for my baby - together totalling over $42000! (24k for me, 18k for baby), with insurance insisting that we each need to pay $3000. Still trying to resolve costs with the hospital, but nobody ever told us to expect this and is a serious financial drain for us. |

| Hospital: Park Ridge Hospital | Your Insurer: BCBS of NC |
| I was induced and had a vaginal delivery with an epidural. I ended up having to stay in the hospital 5 days because of breastfeeding issues, so my hospital bill is a little more than should normally be expected. I also had a $5000 deductible which meant more out of my pocket. The epidural ended up being $675 insruance allowable. My OB/GYN prenatal care and delivery was about $2100 insurance allowable. The hospital stay was $2600 insurance allowable for me and then an extra $750 for my daughter. That all had to come out of my pocket since I had a high deductible, but if your deductible is smaller then you would just owe whatever percentage your co-ins is. It is well worth it though!! |
