Hi Baby will and Lindapurple
Is true u actually need a person resident in Tarrant County with a utility bill proving residence. Cos its a county hospital. Am staying with family so they did easily for me. Tho come to think of it, my cousin who went with me never showed them any bills. She just gave her address and they accepted. So you may try. Or simply get someone who lives here to take u and u just use their address. I think it's a mere formality. But they only accept u when u get here so u can't book an appointment with them in advance. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Babatwi for d link. Will reach out to them for d circumcision[/quote]

Yes they are really serious about it but just like @Dzizz has suggested, you can go with a family member you are staying with. But pls what are their services like for maternity/delivery becos I have not made up my mind. I really havent found someone who has used them even though they have a very good maternity package. Kindly inform a sister here. Thank you.

@LittleHug i am really intrested in this your JPS hospital deal (if its true,that is very fantastic o!) Pls keep us informed o. How was your POE experience? would love to read it.
You can also look up Dr Dennis Abass too,though his bills are not as low as JPS.

@Babatwi
I eventually visited JPS Hospital today. It's in Fort Worth Dallas. They gave a quote of $2500 for normal delivery, $3500 for C.S, $1500 for Og/Gyn. These fees exclude pediatrician's fees and anaesthesia which is $1600 and it is optional. The only hitch is that they requested for a proof of address in the US in your name in form of any utility bill eg phone bill, water bill or any other. The $2500 covers for all your antenatal visits and 2 sonograms. You are required to make a deposit but you must pay your bills before delivery (I think that of the pediatrician comes after delivery). I will give you details of my POE experience shortly..

Hello Shayo5
I'm a February 2015 Mama and I'm already in Dallas. Flew in thru DFW last week. Still searching for an Ob/Gyn or hospital with a good maternity package. Someone suggested JPS Hospital with $2500 for Normal Delivery and $1500 as Doctor's fees. I'm yet to go and check them out. Please any other leads?

Best regards.
