Really? Really????

I knew this was coming, not so sure why I'm shocked but it's just so....wrong. What am I talking about? Medical bills for having a miscarriage!

$325 from the hospital

$130 from my ob/gyn

$9 per blood draw x's 10 blood draw's: $90

Total: $545 

Great, so now I'm out a baby and $545. Sweet. Awesome. Great.

(Although I am thankful for insurance, total charges for the hospital alone was $4,200!)

In good news, beta is finally dropping. It was 31 as of Monday, going back again tomorrow morning for (hopefully) the last one.

I'm so sorry. That's just not fair. Hugs, mama.

But here's one thing you could try to save a little of that money. We've had a bunch of bills with Elizabeth's broken arm and insurance covered a lot, but not all. I called the hospital and asked if they could give me a discount if I paid in full. They immediately knocked off 10%.

Salt in an open wound. We had over $700 to pay for losing the twins. Hugs.

I keep waiting to get a bill for my miscarriage, which ended with 2 nights in the hospital.  The amount billed to insurance was about $30,000, but I'm not sure what our portion will be.  I'm assuming about $300.  Of course, this doesn't even include all of the co-pays we've already paid for our many ultrasounds and peri visits.  Losing our baby was more expensive than the live birth of our son.  I realize it's a medical procedure and they have to bill you, but it's really hard to pay to lose your baby.

I called and asked after reading this and they said no because of all the adjustments our insurance made.
