U.S. LADIES!!! How much did you pay OUT OF POCKET for labor/delivery?

Question

Answer

Y'all pay to give birth?! Fucking hell

Answer

Do you have to pay to give birth holy molly 😲😲

Answer

$20,000 because there was a hiccup in our insurance and they refused to add my son because my SO didn't sign up for a family plan correctly then when he was added a month later they refused to cover him retroactively. 😡

Answer

I stayed 4 days in the hospital when I was giving birth(induced and in labor for 3 days) I payed nothing all covered by insurance

Answer

I haven't delivered yet, but at our first appointment we were made to speak with the financial advisor and sign paperwork stating that we would pay the full amount owed that insurance didn't cover.  My maximum out of pocket is 7,000 (I pay 300 per month for my coverage through work in addition to meeting my out of pocket) and that is what we will have to pay.  I don't know about anyone else, but in my opinion that is crap coverage and I have desperately been looking for work that offers better benefits (especially since I had to pay max. out of pocket last year due to surgery).

Answer

My first was free because I was temporarily on Medicaid.

My second son was around $3000 for everything. I had an unmediated natural birth, and we only stayed 24 hours. My insurance is fantastic which is why we only had to pay the 3k. This amount did not include my prenatal visits though.

My third was a homebirth. My insurance only reimbursed us half because the midwife was out of network. We paid $1,500 after reimbursement which included the birth and all my prenatal visits. His circumcision was done at a nearby hospital and was about $400. They also did his newborn screening and hearing test while he was there. I did have to pay for a GBS test and my 20 week ultrasound out of pocket while I was pregnant which was about $30 for each because my insurance really is amazing.
