Turns out we revived a HUGE bill for our blood work recently to find out the sex of our baby girl back in February. The doctors and nurses said it would be covered. It was clearly not. The insurance covered what it could but now we're facing a ridiculous bill for something we could have just waited for at 20 weeks. We were not told any of this info. What to do?!?!
Re: Unexpected baby bill....
I called my OB's office ready to give them an earful for telling me it'd be covered, but the office manager put me in contact with a representative from Progenity (the company that processed my lab work). The representative explained to me that they were in the process of working with different insurance companies to get this sort of lab work covered. Because the tests are so new, insurance company's aren't sure what to do with them. She told me the most I will be billed from Progenity is $50. Sure enough, a couple weeks after that phone call, I received a bill in the mail from Progenity for $25.
I just thought I'd share my story! If Progenity is the company your OB's office used, I'd ask to talk the OB office's Progenity representative.
I hope everything works out! So sorry you are going through this kind of stress.
