@princesslamzy:its not fair for people to continually repeat whats been on this thread severally. it makes this thread unnecessarily long and new people find it too long to read. cheers |

@angel 55, please be very sure that your body can even accommodate a vbac. I was advised by my doctor to do another CS and not vbac because he didn't think my body was ready for a vbac since I had the cs less than 3 yrs ago. What you don't want is a situation where you'll need an emergency CS and then be forced to pay even more than you're trying to save now. I'll suggest that you see a doctor asap and confirm if you should do a vbac before proceeding with it. And above all, please be extremely prayerful, you are now at a very delicate stage of your pregnancy and it's not helping that you're still planning to move around quite a bit. The journey from texas to arizona is rather long. Please take good care of yourself, God bless. 2 Likes |

Hill, Josanne To Me Today at 5:55 PM Thank you for your email inquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with all the costs associated with a vaginal delivery as you requested, we can only provide you with the hospital/facility charges. All physicians and specialists bill separately from the facility, and the hospital does not have access to their billing. We are unable to give you an estimate for their charges. Please find attached our Hospital Pre-Paid OB Package for the Hospital/Facility Portion of an OB Visit. This package does not cover complications. If you have insurance coverage for your visit, the pre-paid package does NOT apply; the pre-paid package is for non-insured patients only. I can give you an idea of the charges for one of the physicians, namely the Pediatric Consulting Specialist; these alone run approximately USD $6,700.00 to $8,000.00. The facility is usually the last step in this process, as patients usually begin with choosing their Obstetrician, and then they come to us for delivery. You may search the Internet for Obstetricians in Naples (ask if they are affiliated with the NCH Healthcare System). Please contact our OB Department (239)552-7724 if you wish to pre-register. You may also log back into our NCH website, search ‘Birth Place’ or ‘Maternity Services’ under the North Naples Hospital Campus. The attachment is all we have to send you. I hope this answers all your questions. Kind Regards, Josanne cid:image003.png@01CBCF35.04326920JOSANNE HILL - IMCS International Billing Coordinator NCH Healthcare System - Central Business Office 2157 Pine Ridge Road, Naples FL 34109 USA _____________________________________________ |

Heart2heart:^^^Hi Guys kindly find a way to keep your posts brief,its tiring when one have to keep scrolling down. cheers angel55:Ma'am get solid confirmation before travelling to phoenix. I would have advise you settle for CS in el paso or another alternative, what if you get to MIHS and meet a similar cost profile? Will a doctor also agree to take you this late? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by dinawe: 6:56pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
angel55: Angel. There is nothing to think about, just take the next flight to phoenix. We had a VBAC last week ( the lady had a CS last year), she is doing great with her baby. I paid for a CS just in case, but my doctor wants me to try VBAC, i am already 37weeks plus and waiting to go into labour. They are so careful and precise, wish i can give u d details right now on all the procedures there put in place for VBAC, simply amazing. I was elpaso bound as well but had to move cos of this. See ya in phoenix. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by dinawe: 7:06pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
Forgot to say, the lady that had her VBAC last week arrived at 37 weeks from naija and had her baby normally at 39 weeks plus. She will get a refund of $1,350 because she paid for a CS initially. ( Looking forward to my iwn refund, shopping things ) VBAC here is same price with normal delivery. Old price was 2,888 but the new price is 5,400 all inclusive. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by MrsDan: 8:27pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
foreverblessed:Foreverblessed...many thanks! Can you give me an idea of the price quoted for vaginal delivery, epidural and Doctors fees etc? When are you having your baby? You can send me a pm. You are blessed forever! |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by bloggerina: 9:10pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
Hello Angel55, Please stop asking questions and take action fast dear sister. Do you realise that you can give birth at any moment now? Your baby can actually drop at 35/36 weeks. Very possible. The clock is ticking!!! Its very obvious from all the info on this thread that only MIHS can accomodate your budget. Pls call Francesca TODAY, book your financial appt, get a ticket to arizona and leave immediately please dear, we don't want you to give birth here or on the plane sef. Why are you doing like this now? Pls leave immediately. Personally. The next post I hope t see from you is your successful POE story. Do not "branch" houston pls, just move straight to where you want to deliver. All this last minuite plans are not even good for your health sef. Too much stress. If you post anyth again na cane we go take pursue you ma. Pls RUN to arizona NOW. Whether vbac or cs, arizona is still your best bet. Please mama, you are running out of time. Getting a vbac doctor in houston is not easy and unfortunately you don't have time anymore to search. Pls pls pls, get moving dear. All the best and have a safe & successful vbac delivery 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by foreverblessed: 9:03am On Oct 10, 2014 |
@MrsDan, AMEN to being blessed forever . I saw your pm alert, really don't know how to go about accessing it. In any case, the quote from Northside is $3,550, provided you pay before delivery- I have attached the quotation they sent me. This is just for the hospital and for normal delivery, because that's the info I requested. The price excludes any professional fees e.g OBGYN, Anesthesiologist, Pathologist, Radiologist, etc.). They are quite responsive via email, so you can contact them on price.estimates@northside.com or call on 404-851-8694 As far as Doctor, I contacted OBGYN of Atlanta and they sent be the below. But I had to send them my medical records and they stated the quote was based strictly on my week of registering with them (32weeks): $ 934 Antepartum visits ( one post partum ) $ 58 PAP smear $ 200 Chlamydia & Gonorrhea test $ 125 OB profile labs $ 62 HIV Lab $ 60 Hepatitis C culture $ 5 venipuncture $ 258 Ultrasound – anatomy scan $ 60 Group B Strep ( 36 weeks ) $ 5 venipuncture ( 36 weeks ) $ 16 Hemoglobin ( 36 weeks ) $ 1821.00 TOTAL I am due in Dec, but traveling by next week @ 32 weeks (as strongly advised by my Doc). You can contact their Practice Manager, Kris on KRichey@awhg.org for specific enquiries on your case. Hope all this helps. Let me know if you need any other info. Foreverblessed...many thanks! Can you give me an idea of the price quoted for vaginal delivery, epidural and Doctors fees etc? When are you having your baby? You can send me a pm. You are blessed forever![/quote] 2 Likes |
