Lets see how much it costs.
I have the breakdown on my computer.
I vaginally delivered him and I was induced.
And yes, I got the epidural.
First thing is the labor room/delivery room, $13,900.
I got another bill that says room and board, semi-private.
That was $19,111.
Next charge is anesthesia, $2,181.
Other diagnostic services that was $1,001.
The laboratory was $862.
And then I got a charge for the emergency room which was $411.
So all those together $38,757.33.
That hurt more than the contractions.
Thank God for insurance.
They covered a lot of it.
My amount due is only $1,418.26.
I have like 3 more charges.
Next bill is from US Anesthesia and they charge me $1,356.68.
But after insurance, that was only $135.67.
My last 2 charges are vaginal delivery postpartum care, and that was $6,793.
That was $385.
After insurance $651.16.
But after insurance, I only had to pay $2,205.09.
Wow, thank you.
