Just got my hospital bill

sabrina69barnes

I am sooo thankful we have insurance. All they did was a blood test for my betas and do a pelvic exam. Without insurance it would have been $1,300. This seems crazy to me. Thankfully we only had to pay $100.

Yeah. My copays are trickling in with ungodly totals that my insurance is covering.  hat's interesting to me is that billing is together enough to bill me then why isn't the rest of the hospital together enough to stop sending me "congratulations on your pregnancy" letters, and information about the pregnancy/birthing/parenting classes.  I hate those letters. They go straight to the burn pile.

Yeah I about stroked that my D&C cost $6,000 really???  Of course, we have to pay $1600 but that still peeves me off, and I am really trying hard not to be bitter!

Healthcare costs are utterly ridiculous!  Glad your insurance covered most of it.  We are changing insurance in a month and I am afraid the coverage wont be as good as we have now...guess we'll wait and see.  I hope your next bill is a bill for a routine prenatal visit

Yup. What a way to tear off the bandaid again, no? I just paid my lab tests yesterday and got a notice the other day from the insurance with my ER visit, which is still pending.

*sigh* thank goodness you only had to fork over $100.

Glad your insurance covered most everything.  I am very lucky and have very good insurance too.

i have been paying out the rear for insurance for several years, but mine covers everything, i think the only copay would be for things like wheelchairs and other assistive devices.  i love my insurance!

11mo of treatment:

actual cost: $523,267.14

my cost: $427.73

 

all child related things (birth, m/c, d/c, screenings, checks, etc):

$319,403.--  ...and thats only the part that military insurance wasnt used

my cost: $2,371

 

my biopsy, procedure and lab cost my insurance about $14000......for one damn test

Thats good news at least! This is the first time I have really had to use my new insurance..I am hoping to have results similar to yours =/

Glad your insurance covered most of it. Hospital bills are such a rip off!

Hospital bills suck!  Seriously, what on earth is that expensive?  Yay for insurance covering it, though.

anonomity

Yikes!  I cannot believe what some of these procedures cost.  Congrats on having great insurance, what a relief!

That stinks that bills are still trickling in for you guys. I have the same thing happen to me, too. Sometimes it is like, poof, here I am. I am lucky most of mine is covered as well, but I definitely hate the reminders. Let's all hope for happy hospital bills this year

Healthcare costs are outrageous!  When I got my bill for Eliott's delivery, it was over $20,000.  I was so thankful I have insurance - I can't imagine paying that along with dealing with a loss.

Hospital bills suck!  Mine were over 12,000 for my surgery & hospitalization and I was out of pocket over 2,000.  The best part was the bill arrived the week before Christmas.  Thank's for reminding me that I'm not a mom.  Even more than you for partialy sterilizing me with your crappy salpingectomy instead of a salpingotomy.

it was a he!! of a lot more affordable when i was still working in corporate law.

but i can afford another two years, and i know (even though i hope to not need it) that the fertility program is worth it in it of itself
