My prenatal visits with the OB will all be billed at the end. But we have been paying for all ultrasounds and blood work. For some reason the insurance has not covered all ultrasounds the same. That I do not understand. My year starts in Sept or Oct (can't remember!) so we have almost met the deductible. (I have had ultrasounds every 6 weeks or so.)

ETA we have paid almost $200 per ultrasound in some cases!

Hm…. these are for prenatal visits? My insurance told me prenatal visits are free due to obamacare. I do still pay for blood work (initial tests were like $100ish) and ultrasounds ($350ish for anatomy scan and $150ish for a follow-up ultrasound to check an issue they found). But I don't pay anything for just routine prenatal visits.

I paid $400 for my dating ultrasound, then the new year began so another $400 for a pap which was suppose to be routine, but that doesn't matter until I hit my individual deductible.

@locavore_mama: do you have a deductible? And co insurance?

@locavore_mama: plans are different...?

In 2011 we had to satisfy out deductible before anything would be covered at 10%. So, I paid 10% for my delivery and 10% for ally blood draws and ultrasounds. Prenatal care was covered at 100%.

This yeary prenatal & delivery is covered at 100% but we still pay 10% for bloodwork and ultrasound (after our deductible is met).

We had to pay 1/2 deductible prior to 25th week. For us that was 1500$. No office copays.

eta: anything else we paid for until our deductible was met, then covered 100%.
