Insurance co-pay
When I went to my doctor for the first time, I was told that I would have no copayment after I gave them my insurance information. I just received a letter from the hospital which says my co-pay is $200. I mean, it is not that much money but I wonder why it is different than what I was told...I am going to call my insurance now
Either way, thank god for insurance 
how much are you girls paying for the delivery?

Re: Insurance co-pay
I only paid my doctor one co-pay for all the prenatal visits, but I had to pay the hospital a $500 co-pay.

Same for me, but my hospital co-pay was $250 with Nate.
I have different insurance now and I know I have to meet a $1K deductible since everything up til now has been covered at 100%. Not sure if I have to pay a co-pay for hospital visit.

Re: Insurance co-pay
Did your insurance change? They added a deductible for 2007 for mine.
I would check with your insurance and the dr. to make sure every match up what it is suppose to.

I know my copay went from 30-40 for a specialist as of 2007 so maybe this was another change

Re: Insurance co-pay
Up until February, my insurance co-pay for hospitalization was $300. As of Feb. 1, they dropped the co-pay, so we pay nada to have the baby!!! Same exact coverage, they just dropped teh co-pay for some odd reason!!!
Still, can't beat insurance!! I would definitely investigate the change though, if I were you. They make lots of mistakes!

Re: Insurance co-pay
Well I just called and the hospital and doctor are covered at 100% but the $200 is called a confinement fee (anytime you are in the hospital for more than 24 hours they charge you this fee)

Ok, well it's good you checked. Love the term "confinement fee"-- sounds like they're not going to let you out!

I know, I thought that was a funny term also.
