How much was your hosp bill?

OregonPachey · February 2010

Not how much insurance paid or what you owed, but how much was it total?

So far, we have just gotten a few ancillary bills (anesthesia and Jack's nursery bill).

How much was your bill if you don't mind sharing?

hopingforababyin09 · February 2010

My hospital bill was just a little over $10,000.

jenniferhoulihan · February 2010

After insurance mine was only 1655.00 with delivery and anethesia.

Boizmom · February 2010

My bill was $7400. Baby's nursery bill was $1001. His circ was $650. My Dr bill was $3400. Haven't seen my anesthesia bill yet, unless that's included with my hospital bill, but I doubt that.

lindylogana · February 2010

$8500 but I only stayed 1 night

ericanandy · February 2010

$22,000

I about peed myself. God Bless people who don't have insurance.

coffeeaddiction21 · February 2010

$10,939.90 and my hospital did NOT have a nursery. They did everything right there in my room and LO stayed in my room. I can't imagine how much it woud have been with nursery.

CJ2008 · February 2010

before insurance, $22,000! I paid almost $3000. We got a summary of what we were going to pay from the insurance co. before any of our actual bills came.

jkfranklin · February 2010

$3873 for the OB bill, $6430 for the hospital bill. I haven't seen the anesthesa (sp) yet.

lifesadance · February 2010

I STILL haven't gotten my bill! I got one for a lab fee that was $130 (I paid $6.50) and my OB care (our ins. bills one fee at the end instead of individual appt. fees) that was something like $5,000 (I paid $525).

I'm a little worried that I didn't get my bill yet but I'm not about to call the hospital and request it. Maybe they'll just forget to bill me. )

DrDPM · February 2010

From the time I walked into the hospital until the day we left with DS is about $17,000:

Post-partum room (for 31 hours): 5,674

Newborn nursery: 3,314

Pharmacy - prescription (for 1 dose of benadryl and nubain): 248

Pharmacy - OTC (for 3 colace and 6 motrin): 24

Lab - General: 317

Lab - Chemistry: 44

Lab - Immunology: 78

Lab - Hematology: 178

Epidural: 1,100

L&D room: 5,674

That doesn't include any prenatal care, bloodwork, NST's, or u/s. We only paid $10 from my first prenatal visit to my post-partum visit.

My total bill was over $52,000. I only have to pay $1200 in co-pays.

beckys96 · February 2010

$0.00! Everything is covered under our insurance. I think all the claims that came in for me and DD2 was probably close to $25,000.00. I had a C-section and stayed 2 nights.

aeg51107 · February 2010

Mine was just over $13,000. I had to pay $162. Thank God for insurance or I would probably be either childless or homeless!

ScissorTailedFlycatcher · February 2010

Total was well into the 6 figures. I paid $0. Medicaid is going to blacklist me from future pregnancies.

whitdog23 · February 2010

Mine was about $19,000 for just the hospital for me (an extra 4500 for DS even though he was in my room the whole time). That doesnt include any of the other bills. In total everything was about $35,000 before insurance and I had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery.

lostaspen · February 2010

Induction+Epi+Csection+4days PP stay+UV light treatment=$30K

StephanieDeanne · February 2010

I havne't gotten the Drs bills yet, but for the hospital for me - $120k, for LO $180k. My portion is $0! I love insurance!!

bubu · February 2010

a lil more than 14k

Iheartkevi · February 2010

$14,000+. I had a vag delivery but was there for 4 nights because of my long induction. My epidural was charged by the minute! Yikes.

I'll have to pay $3500 max.

diamondcks · February 2010

The birth center was $3400 for both DS and I, I'm not sure what insurance is covering yet.

HoneyGram · February 2010

My bill was $10,500

Sarah's bill was $3300

Anesthesia was $990

My doctor was $2400 plus $500 for his associate (I had a c-section, and they assist each other in there c-sections.)

I thought my water had broken the Friday before I delivered on Tuesday. That bill alone was $1200, and I was only at the hostipal for 1 hour.

Thank goodness for insurance!

duchessII81 · February 2010

We're up to almost 30K and the claims are still rolling in. I was in for 8 days to due a long (failed) induction that ended up in a c/s. L spent 4 days in the NICU and that's approx half the bill right now... I expect her portion to be more than half after everything is accounted for.

BakerMommy · February 2010

About 25K, insurance paid for it (at a reduced percentage--how does that work?). I couldn't believe the epidural was $4000--I can't imagine not having insurance and having to decide if you could afford the epi!

epphd · February 2010

Ballpark - around $20K, I think. We were in for four days - admission day, the day I delivered, and the following day waiting for my blood enzymes to return to normal (I had preE and HELLP syndrome). Then we had to stay one more day for DS's jaundice. I had a vaginal delivery, but the preE and HELLP meant a few more interventions than we had planned.

mybobble · February 2010

Hi Pachey!

Ours came to 22,000 and this included everything. Insurance covered almost everything. We owe around 1400.

kyoto · February 2010

Over 100,000. I ended up with an emergency c-section and my baby spent 8 days in NICU.

My maternity was not covered under insurance, so we owe a pretty large amount still. Luckily, her NICU stay was covered (after our deductible of course).

novemberchange · February 2010

It was originally about $20,000. We have no insurance and are self-pay so we "only" owe $8k now. Still sucks..

fisha25 · February 2010

Mrs_D_in_KY · February 2010

From the few explanation of benefits I've seen, so far it's adding up to around $8,000. However, DS had to stay in the nursery one night due to breathing issues, and I haven't seen that one yet.

MrsRebecca · February 2010

We haven't gotten anything yet! I am dying to know though. I am recently obsessed with the total billed amount vs. what insurance pays vs. what I pay.

The difference is astounding.
