NC Costs - Raleigh Area

Hi Everyone,
I am fairly new to Raleigh, and the US in general. Although I have insurance, I don't think I am prepared for costs associated with being pregnant (I have been spoiled with free healthcare). A colleague of mine mentioned that her ultrasound at approx 14 weeks was so expensive (even with insurance) that she had to put it on a payment plan. Can anyone let me know the approximate costs they have paid in the areas (with and without insurance). Thank you!!

Re: NC Costs - Raleigh Area
It totally depends on your insurance. With my insurance coverage I have no out of pocket expenses and my first pregnancy was extremely high-risk. So, the cost for individuals could be all over the place.
I would suggest calling your insurance carrier and asking them. They can usually tell you exactly what you'll end up paying.

Agree with PP. It depends on your insurance. For me, my out of pocket deductible is $1500 and I had to pay that up front to my OB. I haven't had to pay for anything else yet, but I'm sure I will owe something to the hospital after deliever. I'm not sure what that exact cost will be.
