All paid up?

Are you all paid up with your doc's office at this point?

Curious bc I've not seen a single bill and asked each appointment how much I owe. I'll get slapped with a giant bill at one of these upcoming appts, I just know it. This probably sounds dumb, but I don't even know what my doc's fees are. Haha.

Does your office do a package price? That's what mine does and you won't get a bill until after you deliver. You can always call and ask them.

For me, everything is covered 100% by my insurance, so no bills.

I would ask at your next appointment.?

Hmm I'm confused? Didn't your OB's office give you a breakdown of your costs at your first appointment? My office sent me a letter before my first appoinment showing how much my insurance covers (100%, woohoo) and what we would have to pay for (nothing). I'd call the office and ask to speak to whoever takes care of insurance/billing.

I've asked every appt. To which they've responded "you have until your 7th month to pay the doctor's fees." Lol. I LOVE my doctor though. My next appt is 1/8 and I plan on pretty much being b!tchy until I get some sort of fee schedule and answer on payments. They haven't billed my ins company a darn thing so my ins company isn't any help either. I know our deductible and coinsurance...so I can figure an approximate amount after that.

I only had to pay my first appt. copay ($20) and I'll have to pay my coinsurance at deliver - but can't pay that until after I deliver.

my office takes your insurnace info when they confirm the PG and they submit a claim for a run of the mill vaginal birth. They then have you pay the balance montly and expect it to be paid in full by 6 months. My insurance changed early in my pg, to better coverage, so I ended up with a credit, which will be good since i am now having a c section and there will be extra cost involved in that

My doctor had me pay my portion for his bill by my 6th month. So I'm all paid up with him, once I deliver though we'll have the hospital bill, anthesologist bill and of course the pedi bill as well.

I pay my last payment of $107 (I had 4) on Friday, but they wont submit the claim until I deliver in March.  So now I am stuck with meeting my $250 deductible again starting tomorrow, on top of the $430 I have already paid that my insurance does not know about until I deliver!  What a PITA!
