If you upgraded to a private hospital room for post-partum recovery, did your FSA cover it?
My FSA is telling me (over the phone) that the difference between semi-private and private recovery room is eligible, but they don't have anything in writing that says so. What was your experience?
TIA.
Re: FSA and private hospital room
Just to be clear, are you talking about health insurance or FSA?
When I had DD the last month before birth I couldn't sleep for anything. All I kept saying was....once I have this kid, I'll FINALLY get my sleep in the hospital before I come home and then get NO sleep.
Well......what a flippin nightmare. I had to share a room and I had 1 problematic roommate after another. I had a section so I was there for longer than the typical vaginal. I BARELY got any sleep, both girls had all kinds of issues in the middle of the night. By the 1st night home, I seriously couldn't see straight.
I already prepared DH...I don't ask for much, we don't go on vacation often, I AM GETTING a private room - ESPECIALLY with twins this time around. I don't care how much it costs. I am going to need it!!!
sorry!!!!! I am talking about health insurance. Pregnancy brain just skimmed right over that part and since I have been doing the research on it for the past few days, when I saw the private room title I jumped!
i lucked out and had a private room for free- all the hospitals in my area now have all private/free rooms for mother baby rooms - thank God.
I can also say that I would have paid ANYTHING per night to have my own room- with both my deliveries - (first was vag and 2nd was c/s)... i can't even begin to imagine sharing a room and bathroom with someone with what i was going through - the blood dripping out of me and all over the bathroom floor, shower, etc.... let alone trying to sleep when i wanted to --- OMG- it just makes me sick to think of anyone sharing a room in a situation like that --- the thought of the blood and bodily fluids that come out of you alone -- without being sterilized ever 10 minutes in the bathroom--- ewe....
pay for it- you won't regret it!
