They were covered under my insurance. I only had to pay a $200 hospital fee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2718329 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 10:52:31 +0000 MaryM 2718329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we paid anything for my first one. Or maybe my husband paid the bill and didn't tell me? But it was considered an "emergency" (I was bleeding heavily after delivering naturally for a stillbirth) so I think my insurance covered it as if it was an emergency visit. </p> <p>My second was about $600. We're not sure if that was a mistake (I was charged very similar amounts, around $300, by both the hospital and the doctor) but I never had the energy to fight it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717777 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 10:56:55 +0000 LCTBQE 2717777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little over $5000, which was our out of pocket max that year, and like pp's said, I spent more on it than my actual eventual live birth. It SUCKED. On the bright side, I did appreciate being knocked out by the anesthesiologist so I have no memory of anything. And I got a pair of rubbery-bottomed hospital socks that I still wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717724 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 09:24:02 +0000 milano14 2717724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember what the actual total bill was, but it maxed out my deductible for the year - which is $2500.<br /> I had the same experience as jessymess and feel the same way. The whole thing STILL bothers me over a year later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717704 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 08:31:20 +0000 Truth Bombs 2717704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: @Coffee-lover: One of my best friends had the same experience, her D&amp;C cost her more out of pocket than the birth of her daughter. That's just crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717672 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 07:24:32 +0000 lilyofthewest 2717672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If costs are prohibitive for you (or anyone else who needs miscarriage management) Planned Parenthood and most other abortion providers do see people for D&amp;Cs (or medical management with misoprostol). The total out-of-pocket cost at most clinics is between $300-$600 without insurance (potentially much less with). Clinics don't usually offer general anesthesia, but many offer some form of sedation or twilight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717646 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 22:32:29 +0000 JessyMess 2717646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry. I hated paying every expense associated with my miscarriage. It cost more than my first childbirth (unmedicated) with all prenatal care. Its not fair and if you're angry about it, you're not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717645 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 21:46:31 +0000 Coral 2717645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I'm so so sorry. :heart: I think I paid around $800. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717642 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 21:43:14 +0000 Coffee-lover 2717642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a D&amp;E because I was 23 weeks along. I ended up paying 3,000 (which is our max out of pocket for the year). When I gave birth via c section and stayed in the hospital for 2 nights it only cost me 2700 out of pocket. I dont undrstand how a c section is cheaper, but it is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717624 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 20:35:39 +0000 mamabolt 2717624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before insurance it was 12k. I think we paid about 1.5k after insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717618 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 20:00:52 +0000 bushelandapeck 2717618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: so sorry to hear of your loss :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717604 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 19:10:20 +0000 runnerd 2717604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About $1500 on high deductible plan (so I just got the in network discounts) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717585 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:40:37 +0000 Pollywog 2717585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$4500. My vaginal (unmediated) birth was $3500 at the same hospital, including all prenatal care. It made no sense to me. This was post insurance, but a high deductible plan</p> <p>I'm sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717581 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:04:26 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2717581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice.

It's so scary to think about not having insurance. I'm very thankful we have the ability to have coverage and pay what we need to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717500 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:51:02 +0000 bhbee 2717500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @catlady: @petunia354: thanks ladies. We used to have an even higher deductible ... we've been through a ton of medical expenses the last few years and this was the first year where the big expense was going to be for something good. Sigh ... at least we have the money set aside vs having to make payments and can get it done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717499 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:50:53 +0000 mrskansas 2717499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I had surgery for an ectopic vs a D&amp;C, but my anesthesia was $1,200. The surgery, pathology, and doctor's fee was an additional $23,000.<br /> I paid $1,354 of that amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717493 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:39:11 +0000 catlady 2717493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was scared about this too but it turned out that mine was fully covered. I think we have a very good plan though. My L&amp;D and all pre-natal visits were also fully covered. My post-natal and post-loss visits had a co-pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717475 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:57:36 +0000 petunia354 2717475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I'm sorry, it's brutal. Mine was around $1200 OOP...we have a super high deductible plan. I'm not sure what the total was before insurance.</p> <p>Good luck on Friday, I'll be thinking of you!</p> <p>ETA: Now I'm second guessing myself....maybe that was just the anesthesia? I can't remember, it was a few years ago. I just know it wasn't cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717474 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:55:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2717474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im so sorry. Medical care is really tough. Yes I would assume you'll probably hit your deductible. I'm not sure the total cost though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-dampc-cost#post-2717473 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:52:27 +0000 bhbee 2717473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im scheduled for Friday and it just occurred to me this could wipe out the money we had set aside for delivery later this year. We have a $2200 deductible so I'm guessing that's the minimum we'll owe with anesthesia etc? Coinsurance is 20% so that could add up too. </p> <p>It also sucked I had to pay my copay today for the visit to find out pregnancy was over (regular prenatal is covered). I hate insurance. </p>
