How much did you spend on your miscarriage?

Ahri

I have health insurance through my employer. I have had two ultrasounds in two weeks and going for another one tomorrow. I also had blood tests every few days. This is because no heartbeat was ever found on my ultrasounds, my hcg is decreasing and we believe I am about to have a miscarriage.

It’s been over $2500 since less than a month ago. That’s not counting the ultrasound, visit, and tests I still have to do.

I wanted a d&c; because I don’t want to see what were going to be my twins passing. But I can’t afford.

On top of dealing with the emotional side of a miscarriage, I’m now incredibly stressed by finances. We had budgeted for the upcoming year not expecting to blow so much of it in leas than a month. We weren’t prepared for this at all.

Anyone in the same boat?

I paid about $5k total for miscarriage. That was an ER trip and what I owed the dr for about 2-3 weeks of care. It took me 2 years to pay off the debt. Every time I paid the bill it was a horrible reminder. And that was WITH insurance. Just sickening. You’re not alone. And sending love.

Wow that is outrageous. I'm sorry. I wish insurance and the health care industry would release that a D&C; for a miscarriage is already a traumatic experience. We don't need the additional financial burden included.

I was pregnant with twins in April and had the same scenario with heartbeat. I had a D&C; and only paid my deductible. I would check to make sure the insurance did mess up. Never hurts to call them.
