Baby and No Insurance (or underinsured)?

HrH33RN

I remember a while back some one mentioning one of the local hospitals offering a specific rate that covered the entire delivery...Does this sound familiar? If so- How does it work? A co-worker was looking for something like this, as her maternity coverage kinda stinks.

The Tri Health Nurse Midwives have a flat rate for prenatal and delivery at Good Sam. Also the OB clinic at B North has that option as well. Good Sam itself has generous financial assistance guidelines, especially for the uninsured.

I had a friend use the flat rate program thru B North. She was high risk due to a previous loss at 36 weeks and she was impressed with the care she received.

There's a flat rate program at Good Sam that includes all prenatal care and delivery (a friend of mine is using it now). They mention it close to the bottom of this page but I couldn't find any more specific info... https://www.trihealth.com/whe/mat/mat_faculty_medical_center.aspx

There are options for vaginal delivery AND for c-section.

Also, if a person is pregnant and unmarried (so that only their income is a factor) there is a decent chance she could qualify for Medicaid to cover her and her baby's medical costs.

I also wanted to add, she's been very pleased with her care.  She was concerned about how she'd be treated but nobody has said or done anything that made her feel anything but good and well care for.  All anybody wants is for women to take care of them selves and their babies while pregnant - who cares how it's paid for!!

I went through Good Sam. My care was great and I ended up with an emergency C-section. The clinic docs were good and my in hospital stay was good. Prices the previous poster, uh, posted were correct. And they will set up a payment plan based on when you start paying.

hi, i know this is kind of late. . .but i'm wondering if those prices include the hospital stay as well?
