Total hospital bill

Has anyone looked at their explanation of benefits from the insurance company yet? I added all of my prenatal and delivery costs and was blown away!

I only owe 175 for everything but the total amount billed was almost 58,000! Crazy!

 

Re: Total hospital bill

  • Yep, it's nuts. We were at like 40K total billed. Be thankful you only owe $175. ..that's amazing.  Out of pocket we owe in the thousands.

  • We owed under 2,000 for everything for me and the baby but that's because we hadn't met our deductible yet. It's def. met now! All of DS's well visits, which includes all shots, are free. Amy other pediatrician visit costs us 8 dollars.

  • I'm realizing how great my insurance is. I only had to pay one copay for all of my prenatal visits and only 150 for a csection.

     

  • I had a 3 day induction that turned into a c-section. So, our bill was over $100k. We only had to pay our deductible of $3000. Thank goodness for insurance!

    I was so thankful for our insurance. We only paid 150 and I never had any copays during my pregnancy. The charges w out having insurance are ridiculous.

  • I must say that seeing this post makes me very thankful for Canada's universal healthcare.  The only cost I have had is the $60 for me to have a private room in the hospital for 3 days. (I do realize that my taxes pay for my healthcare)  I could

  • Our bill was about $11,000, so pretty cheap by comparison. I pay nothing for prevantative care (which means all prenatal checkups and well-child visits) and only had an $135 hospital copay for the birth.

  • I think ours was only about 22000 total but we paid $150.
  • I have NO idea how much my stay was but I got two bills for LO due to an insurance mistake. 17k for him and then another 800 for the physican. He did have a 4 day NICU stay so I'm sure that had a lot to due with it.

  • The bill for just me was over 30k and that is that I checked out a day early after a c section cause I hated the hospital. With my insurance my max out of pocket for the year is $1,500 so thats what we owe between my OBGYN, hospital and anesthesiologist.

  • Same. But, that was because I had a 5-day hospital stay prior to delivery and an emergency c-section. However, throw in our NICU stay, and everything (pre-ins) was pushing $500K. Yeah, half a million. 

    Thank god for annual OOP maximums.&nbsp

  • Our bill was about $100,000 but the hospital decided to cover all of their costs after a nurse's mistake almost killed myself and DS. They did that without asking me, so that was nice. I had a complicated pregnancy to begin with so I definitely had bills

  • It is crazy! Mine totaled over $64,000 (two days of labor, two day stay postpartum to clear up a minor infection in LO). I owe just over $3000. I looked at the itemization, my delivery room rate (just the room, not the medical services provided) was $6,00
  • I don't know the exact amount, but I believe we payed around $2500. We have United Healthcare PPO and I was in labor (at the hospital) for over 45 hours plus 2 extra days PP.

  • Ugh, my LO spent 3 weeks in the NICU and I'm not sure if we have a final tally yet, but I'm guessing it will be somewhere around $175,000. We got a bill for $15,000, but I think our insurance is still sorting everything out. I know I've paid a couple of h
  • wow these numbers are insane. Our bill was around $175- $200. That was because we upgraded to a private room from a semi-private. In total we were in the hospital for 10 days (5 before, 5 after) and Irelyn spent the 5 days after in the NICU. I can't imagi

  • I had only $350-ish left of my out of pocket max to pay, so I paid that and insurance covered the other $65,000+!!!  eeek!  I kept the hospital bill and am shrinking it down to put in LO's scrapbook :) 
  • I'm living in Ukraine at the moment and our total for prenatal coverage and the birth was about $8,000. I bet our (American) insurance company was thrilled!
