Did anyone pay for doctor + hospital fees out of pocket?

    Okay I have an update! Called our hospital and they offer 40% off if we pay within 90 days!
    But! turns out we're getting insurance! Our out of pocket should only be about 3-5k. Phew!

    @chopsuey119: whew!!! what a huge relief. It's still a lot of money but much better than paying for all of it out of pocket!

    I only paid $10 for LO and will pay $10 for this baby (I have really nice insurance). However, I will say that I have several friends who had to pay out of pocket and their advice is to scrutinize the bill before paying. One lady was charged for a senior anesthesiologist (who she never saw) plus a junior anesthesiologist who actually placed her epidural; she fought the charge and it was taken off her bill-if I recall it was around $2K just for that person.

    @chopsuey119: Nice! Much better than $15k! With my son, we paid around $3k out of pocket but that's cause our insurance wasn't that great. We've switched insurance companies so now we only have to pay around $800-$1000 total.
