u/s bill - sticker shock!

My OB just sent me a copy of the bill for my a/s - it was $1100!  Of course it was for two babies, but OMG. They listed the cost per baby and the 2nd baby was cheaper - ha!  Insurance covers everything, but I'm just still surprised.

Re: u/s bill - sticker shock!

  • I had the same sticker shock.  My insurance didn't cover it all and I ended up having to have 3 anatomy scans because my babies wouldn't cooperate.  I paid almost $2000 out of pocket to my MFM before it was all said and done...and then another $900 to my OB.  These babies were expensive!

  • It's kinda crazy how much they bill insurance companies and then the rates get so negotiated down. My OB's cash price for ultrasounds is $360 for twins. My MFM charges $650 per visit and includes a level II ultrasound.

    Thankfully my MFM has a package fee of $2500 which covers unlimited appointments and ultrasounds.

    My OB charges a package fee of $2500 for her appointments and delivery, but it does not include ultrasounds.

    When you pay OOP, it can really add up.

  • I was in the hospital for 5 days when they thought baby B was losing blood flow to her cord, I had multiple ultrasounds and other assorted stuff, got a copy of the bill afterwards - $15,000! So glad I didn't have to pay any of that!
