I am so sorry mama The same thing happened to me around Thanksgiving. Excruciating back pain, early back labor (which stopped), one overnight visit with some cervical checks and drugs and the bill was over $1,000 after insurance. It definitely makes a bad experience even worse But oddly enough, my L&D coverage must have rocked because that bill was HALF as much as my early labor bill and I was in the hospital longer and it included all of my pre-pregnancy OB visits as well! Insurance is weird. I hope it works out that way for you too!!

@Danizaur: Do you have an out of pocket maximum? You should be getting there soon. Once you hit it (and you probably would have just with the delivery anyway) they can't charge you any more. So hopefully it won't make a difference as far as your finances go. That sucks though.

What is your out of pocket max? Mine was 3000 and I hit it quick so I didn't have to pay any other bills that came
In.

Ugh I feel ya we owed $1,000 after just two hours of "monitoring" (which was just lying in the hospital bed and having a nurse ask every half hour if we were ok), a couple blood pressure checks, and two packs of saltines. This is with insurance. We also would have been better without insurance, bc the hospital offers significant discounts to uninsured patients

That's ridiculous !! I'm really sorry

Wow, that's terrible.

Ouch!

Oh my gosh, a 10k max. I really hope that's not the case!

Not sure where your insurance is from but we also are able to view our plan online.
