I had a $300 copay and I had to pay the anesthesiologist around $600 since they were out of network and wouldn't work to accept just what insurance offers (basically it's on the form I signed when getting my epi)... So $900 (well, I'm technically still paying the anesthesiologist).

ETA - I did have some lab copays, an initial copay ($15) and then a $50 l&d copay after I fell as well... I would say $200 in incidentals.



If the anestesiologists told you this - this is NOT correct - if they are who the hospital contract with for services they can not make you sign (especially while you are in labor) to say you are going to pay the difference. This was highlighted by gov cuomo in May http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/030712DFSInvestigation. You should NOT be paying beyond your copay for in hospital services.

Sorry for the soapbox but this gets me SOO upset.

My son was 4500 for the hospital and another 1000 for the anesthesiologist. My DD was about 3000. I had c/s for both kids.

My plan had a $200 deductible, $1500 out of pocket maximum for coinsurance and $30 copays.

All in I paid about $2000 - I met my deductible and out of pocket maximum, had several copays for sonograms, some copays for meds (had c section) plus the baby had her own deductible and portion of the out of pocket to meet when she arrived for nursery charges.

Well, when I had Emerson 4 yrs ago (C-section) we had better insurance and EVERYTHING was covered while I pregnant and for delivery too. I paid a $15 co-pay on my first OB visit then nothing the rest of my pregnancy until delivery, we had a $500 hospital co-pay. So OOP I spent only $515. It was awesome.

Now we have a high deductible plan. I have to meet $3500 in deductibles every year and then co-insurance kicks in until I hit $7500 total. So basically, to have this baby...............it's going to cost me $7500 OOP. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



Mine is awful too. I have to meet 5k deductible so I will be paying the whole thing out of pocket. I don't know why my insurance is such crap, I work for a division of a huge, worldwide company

Re: after giving birth how crazy was your hospital bill?

Our deductible is crazy we had to meet $6,000 out of pocket first and then everything was covered 80% and our bill after delivery is $2,500 (c-section) so out of pocket total for each baby was $8,500 so for both kids it was $17,000. We are still paying off Liam.
