  I'm curious as to how that billing will work.  I'd watch my insurance EOBs very carefully, and make sure they aren't billing for ZERO work.

  I can't imagine not being seen by any of my OBs.  My OB was there every day to see me...and so were the pediatricians.  That's crazy...I'd leave too!!

   

  It's likely that if it is a group practice in network that they billed your insurance for a global maternity/delivery fee and were already paid.  If it were me, I'd be so pissed about the lack of care AND getting paid for doing nothing that I'd put it on my to do list to straighten out when you feel up to it. 

  I changed OBs mid-pregnancy due to a lack of care from an OB group and that group had already billed and been paid for a set amount of care, which they then didn't have to provide.  My other OB was awesome and saw me several times a day every day for my entire 4 day induction and 4 day stay after my cesarean.  He performed the surgery himself and was just awesome.

   

  I left my first OB mid-pregnancy, and they refiled everything as individual appointments (my current OB did the same thing when I had my miscarriage last fall - instead of those prenatal appointments being billed under a global fee, they refiled all of them).
