damsell: @damsel, Congratulations on your safe delivery. I hope that you and the baby are doing great. I am writing you on behalf of my wife. We are planning on having our first child in the US and she desperately needs to contact you because she wishes to have the baby in El Paso with Doctores Para Ti. We need to clarify certain grey areas and are hoping you will be of help. Please, send your contact (bbpin or whatsapp or e-mail or gsm num) to cacowe@yahoo.com or bigtalla@yahoo.com.. God bless you. I also wish you a safe flight back home. 1 Like |

hello all we got a baby boy on 23 dec 2014 at Gwinnett Hospital Atlanta, the nurses and all duty doctors were super good and we got very good service except one of the nurses who was rude to us and we dont know why. i have been waiting for the bill to arrive from the hospital but since it didnt come till date i requested for itemized statement and we got a email today morning. the break up is as below. not sure if that look legit to me. i wanted to share with all the experts here so that they can guide me to resolve this asap. i am still at Atlanta and waiting for passport to arrive. Private Room OB $2400 (during child birth) Private Room after birth $1400 (shifted to other room) Pharmacy $480 (fentanyl citrate, fentanyl Bupivac, Bupivacaine & Oxytocin) Pharmacy others $36 (pain killer) Lab Charges for various test $271 Anesthesia Level 2 $1193 (they charged me for this and above this i am gonna get a separate bill of $1200 from Anesthesiologist so dont know what are this charges for) Durgs details $875 (they charged me for Lactated ringers @ $154 each dont know for real is that expensive?) Recovery room - Vaginal EA Hour $1310 (charged 2 times $655 each and dont know why) labor Room Delivery $720 Fetel monitoring $181 urinary catheterization $140 Total $9006 please advise me to resolve this. godblessamerica: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by anonymousmum: 1:51am On Jan 07, 2015 |
godblessamerica: the first question is that did your delivery go smoothly or were there any complications? Secondly, did you not have a package deal with them i.e an agreement with them for a Birthing plan that should capture some of these costs all in? Maybe the Atlanta/Gwinnet folks can help here but clearly they have charged you item by item (for example charging you for OB room and then separately for another room when they moved you) - this is usually avoided when you have a package deal. Also I see some red flags - were you induced? were you informed that the labor would be augmented? I see oxytocin there which is used to induce labor or help labor move along. You will need to investigate this and confirm the useage of all these drugs they have listed here. Anaesthesia - you will need to speak to the anaesthesia people directly. I see level 2 there, you need to ask them and jack them up seriously How is recovery room separate from private room after birth Fetal monitoring?? Was your baby fine after birth? What were they monitoring exactly? Urinary Catheterisation? Is that a joke? Something that any nurse or junior doctor can do with eyes closed? This is the reason why the American healthcare system sucks. Just be armed with your facts and be ready to fight for your rights. I dey vex sef. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by godblessamerica: 2:17am On Jan 07, 2015 |
yes the delivery was smooth there was no complication whats so ever. i was given epidural during the birthing to avoid pain and thats all. nothing more nothing less. i was admitted when i was 2 cm dilated, i am surprised myself as to why have they charged me for delivery room and labor room? thats a big red flag as they have charged me for OB room and the room shifted later after birth. in pharmacy they charged me for lactation ringers $875 thats IVY if i am not wrong. can the IVY be that expensive? i doubt really. they didnt have any package deal at Gwinnett so we have to go as per the price quote given. it was $4000 - $6000 and then 40% discounts for self pay. what about anesthesia level 2 i dont understand that? also they did no monitoring for the baby. yaa Urine catheter was some kind of joke when they charge like that. any other Gwinnett people, please advise how did you guys go about it. anonymousmum: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Tsquare09: 3:20am On Jan 07, 2015 |
MrsDan: @MrsDan Congrats on your new born and safe return to Nigeria. Just wanted to know.... How long did you stayed at northside after the birth? Also you said you refused the use of the nursery, you baby was in your room i guess. where you charged for the nursery bed? I will also be glad if you can share the name and number of the pediatrician that charged $150 and the OBgyn that charged $2550 I am presently in Atlanta making plans for early second quarter comeback. I will also send you a PM. Thanks |

godblessamerica:call the billing guys, if they prove difficult, request for their supervisor. Is the 9k after the discount? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by anonymousmum: 4:25am On Jan 07, 2015 |
mimibe: I was just going to ask sef. Because this may just be the entire bill assuming you are not self pay. Have you discussed with them that you are self pay? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by godblessamerica: 4:43am On Jan 07, 2015 |
That's before discounts. But they still have over charged me. They charged $875 for 5 IVY Which they gave me during child birth. IVY can't be that expensive. Secondly why charged for recovery room and labor room again. Plus anesthesia charges are $1300 remember the charges of anesthesologist isn't yet come to me! Wondering what is that 1300 for? anonymousmum: |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by anonymousmum: 5:47am On Jan 07, 2015 |
godblessamerica: So its a case of discussing with them naa ni. Before you harrass them, just secure the agreed discount first o! Before you will go and hassle them, and they pull back on the discount. Also the ATL / Gwinett folks can weigh in too, to tell you how its done and who exactly you should be discussing with. Cheers, and congrats! |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by godblessamerica: 6:30am On Jan 07, 2015 |
ATL folks please share your views on my case! Please all at Gwinnett please do share your thoughts as to how did u guys went ahead with it. anonymousmum: |
