Comments on: cost of childbirth? http://justintimelending.com/cost-of-childbirth Tue, 22 May 2012 04:02:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: silly nilly http://justintimelending.com/cost-of-childbirth/comment-page-1#comment-451 silly nilly Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:49:48 +0000 http://justintimelending.com/cost-of-childbirth#comment-451 it really varies from hospital to hospital. my insurance won't pay for the hospital i am going to give birth at and i refuse to give birth somewhere that treats their expectant mothers like cattle in a delivery factory. because of this the hospital i will be going to has a flat rate of $3,000 and they will let me bring my own items (tissue, water pitcher, cups, pillows etc) so i won't be charged for extra items. i have a friend who's insurance requires 20% payment and they had to pay about 1,800 before they could be admitted to the hospital. i don't think it is in any way inappropriate for you to ask your doctor or the hospital how much a delivery generally costs.

I was supposed to be 500 dollars for everything, but then I had a blood clot in the 26 week. So I was in the hospital for 6 days with that. Then the blood thinners, and then the c-section that I needed up needing. My sister had all of her kids for well under 500 hundred each because she didn't have any complications or even an epidural with any of them.

They will end up taking it back off of you once you have the baby but I dont think they turn down anyone who is pregnant unless super rich. . . . thats what I did because my hubbies insurance covers only 80% of docters visits.... so that worked for me.

I know our doctor and hospital charge one combined fee. Most of the visits are considered nurses visits. Then they charge for blood tests, ultrasounds and stuff like that.

Usually no more than $5000.
